Please find below a collection of resources that you may find useful to support your child’s learning from home. In addition to the resources provided below and in the event that the school is required to close, ABA Supervisors and teachers will also be in direct contact with parents and carers in order to provide an individualised remote learning plan for your child.
PurpleMash
Purple Mash is an online learning platform that can be accessed on the iPad or laptop. PurpleMash is frequently used at school; therefore, most of our pupils are familiar with using it. Please contact your child’s ABA Supervisor directly to receive their personal login details. Below is a link to the step-by-step instructions on how to use PurpleMash.
Short introduction to PurpleMash (see attached document)
Twinkl
Twinkl is an online website that provides schools with a large range of different resources (worksheets, activities, arts and crafts and more). It covers many different subjects including Maths, English, Science, Art, ICT and Design and Technology. During recent months, due to the Covid crisis, Twinkl has provided parents with free login details. Please find instructions below.

White Rose
White Rose is the Maths Curriculum that we follow here at The Quest School. White Rose have provided a Home Learning Page whereby parents and carers are able to access a range of videos that teach different Maths skills in a simple and clear way. Parents/carers can watch the videos together with their child if appropriate or they can be watched without the child as a way to gain some information on how best to support your child with their Maths learning.
Although the website link below makes reference to buying workbooks, this is not necessary. The videos are useful on their own as well as when paired with individualised Maths activities given to pupils by the school.
