impact
Purple Mash is being used to teach computing consistently across school. We are using Purple Mash materials to ensure clarity of curriculum progression and provide support and guidance for non-specialist teachers. This offers a clear structure and sequence for staff to follow. The units have been planned in an order that best works with our mixed age group classes and main curriculum connectors.
Purple Mash has given staff the confidence to ensure the progression is clear and they are beginning to become much more confident in teaching computing.
