In the Junior Department, students can use pencil grips, adapted paper and specialist seating. As they get older and academic demands increase, they will use their own school laptop to complete work tasks.

From Year 5, learners begin structured touch–typing lessons, and many students will become familiar with specialist programs, such as literacy support tool Clicker 8.

As they progress to the Senior Depatment, it becomes essential for learners to know how to organise their digital OneDrive files and navigate our Virtual Learning Environment hosted by our external platform Firefly. They begin using accessibility features such as Microsoft’s Dictate, Read Aloud and Immersive Reader to compose and proofread their work. In preparation for exams, learners may use the Text-to-Speech features in TextHelp: Read & Write or a Reading Pen.
