2Simple

Raising standards through creativity

2Simple have been creating simple, powerful educational software for schools since 1999 and started with the launch of the Infant Video Toolkit; a child-friendly suite of educational software to introduce young learners to simple painting, publishing, graphing and branching decision trees. Following the success of the Infant Video Toolkit, the organisation grew and in 2010 we launched Purple Mash, closely followed by the introduction of Mini Mash, Serial Mash and  Evidence Me.

Our software and resources are used by over 2 million learners in over 11,000 schools, in more than 74 countries worldwide including South Africa, United States, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Spain, Hong Kong and Qatar. Today we continue to work hard to provide teachers, schools and educators with the innovative resources they need to inspire and educate the next generation.

Our Values and Commitment

To provide excellent, accessible and inspiring software to encourage children to love learning and prepare them for later life. We don’t measure success financially, rather we measure how we’re doing by how many learners, teachers and parents use our platform.

2Simple is committed to making software that raises standards, enhances the learning experience, and saves teachers time.

We at St John's D.S.G. have been using Purple Mash for a number of years now in our Junior School. We have always found the service we have received from Purple Mash to be excellent. Our queries are always dealt with swiftly and help is never far away! The team are friendly and supportive. We love that they are open to ideas from us as teachers on the ground using their product, too. They are always willing to try and build our suggestions or requests into their product. This makes working with them a dream!

Purple Mash is a key component in every teacher's toolbox. One of the platform's key strengths lies in allowing each learner to create their own portfolio of work. This portfolio is conveniently saved on the Purple Mash platform. Furthermore, the platform offers numerous auto-marking activities, simplifying assessment. Through the feedback cycle, teachers can provide personalized feedback through verbal and typed notes, as well as stickers. The Purple Mash Curriculum captivates learners, providing an engaging experience both at school and at home.

Purple mash is fun and exciting. The learners love the tasks that I set for them and I enjoy exploring the games. It helped me as a teacher to make my informal assessments more fun, colourful and exciting!

Python in Pieces is an interactive way for learners to progress at their own pace and extend their knowledge of understanding coding. It is really useful in that it provides two screens - one with block coding and for text coding. This way individualization happens as learners can select which option they prefer. My girls have loved watching the tutorials and completing the tasks. They also enjoy creating their own free projects too.
