Overall rating:

Average rating across all Purple Mash reviews: 4.3/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Reasonably: There are lots of curriculum areas but when used extensively many of the tasks become repetitive.

How well does it support your school’s inclusion/diversity/equal opportunities policy?

Difficult to comment. I can see more work has been put into this but it is an area that needs more diversity.

How well does it support differentiation for the full range of the classes you use it with?

Reasonably: In EYFS there is a good level of differentiation but higher up in school it becomes more about outcomes.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so. The interface is excellent and very engaging.

How well supported is it by accompanying formative assessments?

We haven't used many of the assessment tools but what is available looks useful.

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation.

This is a real strength and the additional planning materials are very easy to use.

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Brilliantly: A big strength and many classes used this during home learning.

How would you rate it for value for money, compared to similar resources?

Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce. Pricing is a strength and it compares favourably to other products.

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

Net promoter score: 9
