Computer Club

We are now offering a new ICT teaching initiative for children with learning disabilities or a functional disability.

Designed to match the capabilities and needs of each individual student activities/lessons reinforce competence in key curriculum areas, increase understanding of concepts and develop critical thinking skills essential to success in school and beyond.

One of the first elements the children can be taught is touch typing. This will help them find their way around the keyboard in readiness for more technical applications. They will also have the opportunity to develop skills in digital photography and video recording and editing.

The lessons are based on having fun while using the latest Multimedia computer technology and an Interactive Whiteboard to bring to life the core National Curriculum in one hour sessions. They can also develop skills in story development, desktop publishing, and word processing, along with an understanding of computers and keyboard skills.

Some of the programmes used may already be familiar to the children, as they have been carefully chosen to match those currently in use in local schools.

The lessons will be a brilliant investment and benefit their future by not only giving them a head start in ICT but also to help extend their memory and concentration spans and improve their logic. They will also encourage children who need regular routines to continue these routines but in a different environment.

Every child that comes to us will have an assessment/record card that is filled in as they progress. Any certificates gained can be presented at school assembly.

Morning, afternoon and evening classes are available for small groups of three to four children and their parents/carers from nursery onwards, with regular assessment and progression to higher levels.

We are also running weekly IT Fun Sessions on Monday and Thursday evenings between 4pm and 7pm. There is currently no charge although parents/carers are required to remain with their children.

Anyone interested in attending one our IT sessions, should contact Diana on 07841 329747 or SNAP on 01543 579286 for further information.
