Your child learns live online, in small classes, with real teachers. This page shows you how it all works. Take it one step at a time.
It shows how lessons work. Please watch it first.
Real lessons, with real teachers. Just online, and safe.
A real teacher teaches live, camera on. Not a video to watch alone.
No more than six children. Your child is known and included.
Lessons are at the same times each week. Days have a clear shape.
A calm, kind space. We help your child enjoy learning again.
Everything your child needs comes by email. Here are the three to look out for.
Your child gets these emails too. They can join from the link. But it is best to help them log in to their own account. Then the timetable, lessons and progress are all in one place.
Use the username and password from the welcome email. It takes about a minute.
Open purpleruler.com. Click Log in (top right).
Click Log in with email. Type the email and password from your welcome email. Click Log in.
The dashboard shows the timetable. Lessons open at their set time. Your child just needs to be signed in.
Keep your email address correct with the school. We send logins, reminders and reports to it. A wrong email stops the lesson links. It is the most common problem, and the easiest to avoid.
You do not need to teach. Just help your child be ready and settled.
Coming often, even a little at a time, makes the biggest difference. Each lesson builds routine, trust and confidence.
You will not be left guessing. Here is what comes to you.

Tap a question to see the answer.
Ofsted checked our safety and said it is fine. Lessons are a watched, private space. Not the open internet.
Each child has their own private login. Only known pupils are in a lesson.
All staff pass strict checks before they teach.
Cameras on, lessons watched live, and filters block bad sites.
If something feels wrong, you can tell us fast. See below.
Worried about something? Tell us now. Email safeguarding@purpleruler.com. Or talk to the teacher in the next lesson. Or use the Report a Concern link in your emails (you can do this without giving your name). We treat safety as urgent.
You can also read all policies any time at purpleruler.com/policies.
Simple rules every learner follows in lessons. Look through them with your child before they start.
