Average rating across all Purple Mash reviews: 4.2/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

So many resources and ideas for using them with the class

 

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

0

support or challenge is more through expectations

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

My class love using this resource

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Badly: There isn’t any / enough formative assessment or what there is, isn’t very useful

I don't think I have found any

 

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

Good links to curriculum areas

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Well: Pupils could be expected to use this at home or independently, with a minimum amount of support or additional resources

I used it during lock down for some science and computing activities

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen

I don't know how much we pay for it but we use it a lot

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 11/11
