Case Study: Ark Schools boosts writing confidence and stamina with Crick Software's Clicker

Ark Schools boosts writing confidence across 31 academies with Crick Software

Ark Schools, a network of high-achieving non-selective academies in England, faced challenges supporting pupils with literacy difficulties and reluctant writers who lacked confidence and stamina for putting ideas on paper. They turned to Crick Software and implemented its Clicker program as a key assistive technology tool to address these needs.

Crick Software's Clicker solution provided features like predictive text, speech feedback, and ready-made Clicker Sets, which dramatically increased students' writing confidence and output. The measurable impact included children producing significantly more work, with a notable increase from one or two sentences to four or five per session. The tool was so successful it was rolled out across all 19 primary schools in the network and became a key recommendation on Ark's literacy website.
