Why Touch Typing should be part of the curriculum?

Typing is an essential skill that is required in all aspects of life. 

Schools across the country are including typing as part of their curriculum. As a time-saving, productive life skill, learning to touch type is beneficial for all students who may need to use a laptop in the classroom, for homework, in exams and for future employment.

We are endorsed by a number of schools across London and the home counties, so if you are school looking to enhance the curriculum and teach your students this vital life skill, then please get in contact.

In-school touch typing courses  

These courses have been running successfully in schools across London and the home counties for the past 10 years. 

If you are a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), Head Teacher or Assistant Head who would like to level the playing field for those children with SEN/neurodivergence or, just want to get your students up to the JCQ standard for laptop users - then we would be happy to speak with you about our specialist typing courses.
 
  • Courses are held as an after-school club, held on either a Tuesday or Wednesday from 4pm - 5:30pm. 

  • Suitable for students from Year 3 to Year 6 and Year 7 through to Year 11. This life skill can be used in preparation for using a laptop for homework use and give them options for using a laptop in class and in exams. There are a number of senior schools that accept children using a laptop for their entrance exams.

  • Courses at Preparatory Schools are usually held in the late Spring and Summer Terms, post 11 and 13 + exam stress!

  • Senior schools are keen for their Year 7, 8 and 9 cohort to learn this skill in order to give them the opportunity of bringing their laptops into the classroom and offer them an alternative to getting their thoughts onto paper in a more organised way.   

  • In order to qualify for a laptop for GCSEs there is no longer the need for an Access Arrangement. However, typing must be the student's 'normal way of working'. A student will need to be at about 30/35wpm, with 90% plus accuracy.

A perfectly aimed course. It's hard to understand how your child can come out buzzing and that little more confident but she did. The experience and understanding Delia and Seth have of how to move your child along cannot be under estimated. We were very impressed and will look to put our daughter on further courses with them. The fact she practices what she has learnt at home without prompting is testament to this!

Thank you so much to Delia and Seth for running this amazing online course. My son (14 years) has been struggling at school, but Seth was able to keep him focused and motivated for the full hour and a half sessions each day. By the end of the week, my son was able to touch without looking at the keyboard and had managed to get his score to 27 words a minute. He is now enthusiastic and determined to keep practicing to get his score better. I am sure that this new skill will help him in his next step of of his educational journey. –
