How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Very easy to use and great for a computing teaching 'panic' for some of the topics I certainly didn't learn when I was at school - or teacher training! Includes information on intent, implementation and all your Ofsted needs. As well as comprehensive coverage of the curriculum, with well thought out activities, lesson plans and PowerPoints.

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

Not really noticed to be honest

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

Brilliantly: Easy to use for all pupils - even those that never remember their username and password.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

The coding and computer game units are particularly engaging.

How well does it support planning?

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

I do not need to do any planning, other than downloading what Purple Mash provides!

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

Your 'To Do' activities can be set from school - or from home - and completed by pupils for both.

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?

Net promoter score: 10
