Case Study: Bridge of Weir Primary School improves writing engagement and attainment with Crick Software’s Clicker

Bridge of Weir Primary School boosts writing engagement with Crick Software and 10 Chromebooks per class

Bridge of Weir Primary School, a primary school in Scotland, faced a persistent challenge in raising student attainment in writing, particularly for pupils with learning difficulties. They sought a tool to help all students improve and turned to Crick Software's product, Clicker.

Crick Software's Clicker was implemented on Chromebooks, providing a child-friendly word processor with text prediction, spell check, and a read-back facility. The solution led to improved engagement, more positive attitudes towards writing, and the ability for struggling pupils to produce longer, more coherent work. One measurable impact was a pupil having her writing selected for a competition. The school plans to make Clicker an integral part of its writing program to close the attainment gap.
