Average rating across all Purple Mash reviews: 4.2/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Aligned to national curriculum. Easy to use resources. Ability for pupils to use it at home. Ability to use it on a tablet.

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

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

The resource needs to have more assigned to work with high ability children. Perhaps bring in more from the secondary curriculum.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Students like the graphics, the ability to use it independently and the sounds that it produces. I would like some of it to be aimed at older students.

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Brilliantly: We could (or do) use it for monitoring pupils or classes, for gap analysis or to inform intervention strategies

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning

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

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