Primary – Outstanding Curriculum Resource
2Simple – Purple Mash
For over 25 years, 2Simple has grown alongside schools, building technology shaped by the realities of the classroom. Purple Mash, now used by more than 6,500 schools worldwide, has been a trusted presence in primary education for 16 years, with renewal rates consistently exceeding 83%. Its longevity reflects something rare in EdTech: sustained relevance built on teacher insight and classroom need.
Purple Mash stands out for its breadth. While it provides a comprehensive computing scheme of work, teachers rely on it across the curriculum. Pupils write stories, compose music, create artwork, practise maths, read eBooks and explore subjects such as history, geography and science within one connected platform. It functions not as a single-subject tool but as a whole-school digital learning ecosystem.
Innovation continues to shape its evolution. The introduction of Purple Mash AI enables teachers to generate curriculum-aligned quizzes and resources in seconds within a secure educational environment, significantly reducing preparation time. Practical classroom realities also drive development; features such as group working allow up to six pupils to collaborate on a single device, ensuring the platform works effectively even in shared-device environments.
Purple Mash succeeds because it remains focused on what matters most: helping teachers teach and children.

Literacy Tree
Literacy Tree is a book-based primary English curriculum and assessment platform designed by teachers for teachers. Built around our Teach Through a Text pedagogy, it immerses children in diverse, high-quality literature while explicitly developing writing, reading, spelling and vocabulary within meaningful contexts.
Unlike fragmented schemes, Literacy Tree integrates curriculum, assessment and professional development into one coherent ecosystem. Grammar is taught explicitly within purposeful writing. Extended writing is embedded across the year. Texts are deliberately diverse and publisher-agnostic, ensuring children encounter both literary heritage and contemporary global voices.
In 2026, we strengthened our digital platform and app, integrating planning, work capture and assessment through our RATE tool. This enables real-time evidence gathering while reducing workload and improving curriculum coherence.
Impact is measured through annual teacher surveys, cross-phase pupil voice and ongoing case study tracking. In 2026, 100% of teachers reported increased pupil engagement, 94% reported improved subject knowledge and 90% reported improvements in writing attainment. Pupil voice data shows high levels of writing confidence, pride and exposure to new stories and cultures.

Used by over 2,000 schools, the curriculum is grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology, giving children practical strategies to understand their brain, regulate emotions, and build resilience.

Inclusivity is built into the design.

The programme was co-developed with special schools to create an adapted curriculum based on developmental stages, not chronological age.
Reaching over 1 million children, parents and staff, and recognised with the King’s Award for Innovation and the Bett Transformational Impact Award, myHappymind equips children with lifelong wellbeing skills while helping schools create calmer classrooms and cultures where pupils are ready to learn and thrive.
