At Holy Family school we love using technology. Because of this, we are constantly looking for ways to develop and improve the ways in which we use ICT in all subjects. We currently teach computing using the  'Purple Mash' program.This involves us learning how to code; making presentations; producing art work; and many other activities across the curriculum. Children have their own log in and password, which they can use both at school and home . Pupils can login by visiting this webpage:

Please email your child's year group email address if they are unsure of their login details and they will send you their username and password. If you are using Purple Mash on a tablet, there is a special app which you can download for these devices. Please click on this link for further details:

Teachers also use ICT to enhance lessons across the curriculum, as well as completing research in a wide range of subjects.

We recognise that computing is an important tool in both teaching and learning and the society we live in. Our aim is to ensure that our pupils are confident in using the internet and other tools, but also have a very good understanding of online safety.
