AI is being used by teachers more than ever before - while many of us are curious about the benefits, there is still some apprehension about how to ensure it's being used safely and responsibly.

That's why we're very excited about the Purple Mash AI Add-On: a simple, safe way to use AI inside the trusted Purple Mash platform.

Finalists announced!

Our Games Design competition is now closed. Thank-you to all schools who entered. We had lots of fantastic entries on the theme of Planet Protectors, and our finalists will soon be presenting their games at the Amazon offices in London.

We are launching a new competition for 2026 on the 18th of May! The Tracklab Competition will give Year 6 students the opportunity to showcase their creativity and musical skills in teams of 2-6 to create a song about their time at Primary School.

2BeSafe is an award-winning online safety scheme of work from Purple Mash, which meets the guidance set out in the Department for Education's Education for a Connected World document. Sessions are short and designed to fit into a busy timetable, with no need for extra devices. Find out more about it in this blog.

Each month we highlight a different tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum. We call this the Mash of the Month, this month it's Tracklab.

During the month, if you share how you have used the #MashoftheMonth, you will then be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple Goody Bag!
