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
Online platform that allows pupils engage with their learning and staff can use confidently because of support and cpd available. Subscription is costly
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
Some pupils struggle to use the computer. Easier alternatives for these pupils. Some software is not commonly used and therefore skills need to be transferable.
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
The computing curriculum all in one suite of software. The cost continues to increase so a reduction would help a struggling budget.
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
How well does it support planning?
How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? /11
