What is Purple Mash?

Purple Mash is an award-winning cross curricular website for primary school children, enabling them to explore and enhance their knowledge in a fun and creative way.

Cloud-based, it delivers an exciting mash-up of curriculum focused activities, creative tools, programs and games. There is a Purple Mash add-on called Serial Mash, an online library which contains digital fiction books with guided reading resources and activities.

For parents, Purple Mash contains free home access for all pupils. For teachers, Purple Mash provides ready-made editable long-term, medium-term and individual lesson plans, a full assessment framework, curriculum maps, whole school schemes, video tutorials, built-in CPD and free CPD events.

Purple Mash works across a range of different devices, from tablets to interactive whiteboards.

Recommended Usage

As a whole-curriculum resource this would be dependent upon the specific tool and objective. For example, if using the multiplication tool, using it once a day for 5 minutes, learners and teachers would start to see impact within a couple of weeks. But if using one of the creative animation tools the level of usage would be different.

Sep 2024

One thing I love about Purplemash as well as it's diverse range of resources is how much the team keep it up to date. The documents for teachers and the resources for pupils are constantly updated and refreshed. The customer support team is the best that I've ever had dealings with. They prioritise school support and make us feel valued.

Reply from Purple Mash:Thank you Stephanie for your wonderful review! We're thrilled that Purple Mash reduces your workload, and supports teaching and pupil collaboration. We are particularly proud of our support team, so we're glad to hear they've made such an impact.
Stephanie found Purple Mash:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    There is a comprehensive scheme of work for computing on Purplemash which includes teacher guides, presentation slides and activities for pupils to complete. It is regularly updated and kept in line with curriculum and developments. Marking is easy on Purplemash thanks to their comment / judgement / curriculum objective system. All the data entered is collated to a pupil data sheet to track progress. Pupils get instant feedback in some quiz/challenge style activities and receive comments from teachers as alerts with opportunities to redo work if required.
  • Moderately increases student collaboration
    There are a few tools in Purplemash which allow for collaborative use such as 2investigate and 2connect. There are central storage areas where pupils can share and display work. There is a built in email system and blogging opportunities for pupils to communicate safely and have pupil voice.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    Tasks are quick to set and easy to mark. Data can be found and filtered easily. None of my administrative tasks take long on Purple mash, enabling me to use time for my pupils.
  • Slightly improves teacher knowledge
    Purplemash is a great way to support teachers who are not so confident about teaching computing. The guides and presentations support teachers and are thorough in their explanations of vocabulary and processes.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    There are hundreds of resources for pupils to use to demonstrate and expand on their knowledge in a variety of subjects. The use of computing as a cross curricular tool is central to many parts of Purplemash.

Excellent Primary Resource

Clair Harris found Purple Mash:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    When planning a topic that is new to me eg Simulations I was able to use the lesson plans provided to give me initial ideas for my own lesson and provide a skeleton for my own lesson slides.
  • Slightly increases student collaboration
    When teaching Online Collaboration the children have used 2connect in collaborative mode as well as 2write. These are always very popular activities! However, these sessions are often quite chaotic to start with before the children learn to co-opperate and work together to achieve the lesson goal
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    When using 2code as children can move through activities at their own pace and learn for themselves as they progress using the tutorial videos.
  • Does not significantly improve parent engagement
    Parent's have been engaged with our Serial Mash free 1 year subscription, encouraging their children to undertake reading activities especially during school holidays.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Creating factfiles eg Year 6 when making Tim Berners Lee fact files while studying the topic How the Internet works.

Easy to navigate, covers and supports whole curriculum, builds confidence for adults and children, helps support planning and teacher subject knowledge, planning, assessment and resources are well produced, relevant and easy to use in each lesson. Love its versatility from spelling and times table support to publishing pieces of written work.

Reply from Purple Mash:Hi Charlotte Many thanks for your review and love the fact that you are using Purple Mash across the curriculum. We are holding our first English Teacher panel next week and you can find all the details here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/english-teacher-panel-tickets-512776346857
charlotte watkin found Purple Mash:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    planning, resources, vocab all considered, organised and very straight forward to follow.
  • Significantly increases student collaboration
    mixed ability pairings - learning from each other, keen to help each other and share knowledge/short cuts, new-found knowledge. Enthusiasm towards learning particularly through self-discovery. Children feel safe using the website - they don't panic about not being able to save etc because there are so many prompts and levels of support
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Powerpoint guides lesson well - teacher confident with knowledge being taught as being relevant, on target and up to date.
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    Not involved parents yet - school leadership decision
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Shocked at how much they engage and take in, particularly what I as an adult deem to be tricky eg plagiarism - suddenly the children's topic homework changed because they were considering plagiarism etc more. Understanding, using and explaining quite technical and specific vocabulary.

Computing Specialist Teacher

Snaresbrook Preparatory School, England

Used Purple Mash daily for 5 years+

Dec 2021

I have used Purplemash for many years in different year groups and not just for computing. It is an extremely useful resource and tool for learning. Most importantly 2Simple keep Purplemash totally up to date and are constantly listening to reviews/feedback to improve the product. In the past 2 years they've made huge changes to make the tools better for online home learning and to make connections with other platforms that teachers use. I would also highly recommend it because their support team are fantastic. Email queries are answered within that day and problems are investigated until they are solved.

Stephanie Barber found Purple Mash:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Ease of marking online tasks, setting rewards for pieces of work and gathering evidence. All stored in easy to use folders. Data dashboard allows quick viewing of evidence for relevant objectives in the curriculum. Setting online tasks for homelearning with clear instructions and newly added ability to add links and voice instructions to 2dos. Activities are completed on computer so there is no need for excessive printing.
  • Significantly increases student collaboration
    Lots of the tools are designed for collaborative work: 2Email so pupils can message each other and learn about communicating online or other topics. 2connect for mind mapping tools which can be used collaboratively so groups can comment on one document. 2blog class blogs encourage communication and sharing of ideas. 2investigate creates databases and can be worked on collaboratively so that pupils can add data to one database and use each others' data.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    Activities can be completed within Purplemash using the templates and publishing tools. Therefore there is no need for excessive printing. Work can be shared with school community via displayboards. Work is easily marked with pupils alerted to feedback as soon as it is returned. Work can be set as 'redo' for pupils to edit and resubmit. 2dos are quick to set up and assign to classes or specific pupils. In many tasks there are help videos, hints (coding), word banks and checklists so that pupils do not need as much teacher support constantly and can be more independent allowing teacher to focus where needed.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    It is possible to have parent codes in purplemash so that parents have their own sign ons and can view pupil work/progress. Displayboards allow school community including parents to see what pupils have been doing in class.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    I don't think it is as knowledge based as other online platforms (no powerpoints of topic information). It is more of a tool for demonstrating knowledge and developing skills. This is a tool for pupils to demonstrate what they understand and explore their ideas. Serial mash for example is a great tool for extending pupils reading skills and encouraging enjoyment for reading. In computing it does have an impact on student knowledge as the SOW has indepth activities for not just coding, but also internet safety (DL) and IT skills.

I truly enjoy using Purple Mash. It has made my job easier and works for class work, homework, remote schooling as well, for the learners who want to do more on their own.

Melanie Hussein found Purple Mash:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Creation of Lessons, templates, quizzes and more is made quick and easy by the many tools that are available. I especially appreciate the assessment documents and guidelines.
  • Does not significantly increase student collaboration
    To date, I have used the Multiplayer games tool and the 2email tools.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    It is easy for the learners to find on our school's website and they recognise the Purple App colours immediately. They also enjoy the login process as they get to use the animal picture options as their passwords. In 2Code, the video instructions help those who can move on quicker and work individually.
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    We have not used this platform with our parent body but, when we worked online, parents were able to help and login easily.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    The content is relevant and aligned with the skills that we need to teach in the foundation phase.

    During lockdown definitely We weren't searching for paper-based activities, it's immediately engaging for the children and that saves a lot of thinking time.
  • Slightly improves parental engagement
    We struggle with parental engagement anyway due to language barriers.
