As the new academic year approaches, we wanted to share with you some useful links we know will help you and your colleagues get started in 2024/25. In the post we'll cover account set up for Purple Mash admins, including data syncing and adding new classes; plus, we'll share useful tools and teacher resources to help you feel prepared at the start of the new year.

To make your lives as subject leaders as painless as possible, we've created a series of toolkits that are packed full of documents you're sure to find useful, whether new to the role or a seasoned veteran.

There are toolkits for Maths, English, Science, Computing, Foundation, PE and they're all completely free!

On 16th May, Ofsted published their research review into the computing curriculum, to identify factors that can contribute to high-quality school computing curriculums, assessment, pedagogy and systems. We've taken a close look at the report and identified how Purple Mash meets each of those factors, and throughout this week we're posting a series of blog posts outlining exactly how it does this. Each daily blog will cover 2-3 of the factors in depth, looking at what the report says and highlighting where Purple Mash supports them.

Today, we start by looking at teacher technical and pedagogical content knowledge of computing, as well as the curriculum structure: called the pillars of progression within this report.

Here at 2Simple, we want to support you in striving for excellence with your curriculum leadership, so we have just added another subject to our hugely popular Subject Leader Toolkits: The English Leaders Toolkit.
