As the computing lead in school, I appreciate the variety of materials to support my role and the knowledge that the curriculum is up to date.
Reply from Purple Mash:Thank you, Lisa. It’s fantastic to hear how Purple Mash is supporting your role as a computing lead.
It’s also great to hear that more staff are building confidence through CPD and that you’re beginning to explore group working.
Lisa Wetherall found Purple Mash:
- Builds student knowledge“Our Year 5 cohort recently took part in a robotics workshop and were able to transfer their coding knowledge onto a new platform well, displaying a good range of knowledge.”
- Reduces teacher workload“Thorough well thought out lesson sequences and resources reduce planning and preparation time.”
- Improves teaching efficiency
- Improves teacher knowledge“Up until this year, the majority of computing lessons have been taught during PPA time. This year a group of teachers have taught their own computing lessons and they have reported that their subject knowledge has vastly increased. We also make use of the CPD in various formats.”
- Increases student collaboration“We are starting to use the group work feature and this does increase collaboration.”
