2026 National Year of Reading

Purple Mash  

As part of our commitment to the National Year of Reading 2026, a campaign led by the Department for Education and the National Literacy Trust, we are encouraging parents and carers to make use of the Purple Mash platform at home. Purple Mash provides a rich library of reading materials and literacy activities suitable for a range of ages and abilities, helping to build confidence and enjoyment in reading beyond the classroom. We hope families will take advantage of this valuable resource to support children’s reading journeys throughout the year.

You can find your child’s username and password in the back of their reading diary. If you require any assistance with access or log-ins, please speak to your child’s teacher or the School Office.
