We are very happy to award our March Student of the Month to Loveth a pupil at Middle Park Primary School.
Advisory Teacher Carly Atkinson nominated Loveth for the award and said “Loveth has used her equipment admirably, demonstrating excitement and enthusiasm from the very beginning. She has been proactive in using it daily, resulting in some amazing learning achievements using Clicker. In just a few months, Loveth has already increased her typing speed significantly, showcasing her commitment and dedication to her studies – Well done Loveth!!”
Loveth said “I love my computer, it helps with my learning, especially my writing. It lets me see if I have spelt something wrong. My typing has got faster and I can get my ideas down quicker. I have got to learn new things with my device and with Miss Wright helping me.”
Congratulations Loveth!
CENMAC’s Student of the Month is awarded to Loveth at Middle Park Primary School
February 2025
We are very happy to award our February Student of the Month to Macy-Rae at St James CE Primary School.
Advisory Teacher Victoria Annan nominated Macy-Rae and said “Macy-Rae has been incredibly responsive to her new assistive technology. She provided loads of helpful information all about herself during her assessment and has been keen from the very get go to get setup and running. When delivering Macy-Rae’s equipment she selected appropriate tools to support her learning in Clicker. This included picturising the text and editing the read back feature to read individual words as Macy-Rae types. She worked hard when using the Sentence Sets to reorder her sentences. When Macy-Rae put on her headset to trial the microphone she thought she looked like a spy! Her TA, Zara, was very supportive of Macy-Rae and encouraged her to use her device and the software on it as independently as possible.”
Faith Rudd, SENCO KS2 at said St James CE Primary School “Macy-Rae loves using her laptop. It makes her feel like a teacher and she feels proud of her writing already. I believe CENMAC has opened up so many opportunities for Macy. She loves writing and has a fantastic imagination, having access to Clicker will give her the opportunities to show this.”
Congratulations Macy-Rae!
CENMAC’s Student of the Month is awarded to Macy-Rae

We are very happy to award our Student of the Month to Luke a student at St Mary Magdalene Church Of England All Through School.
Advisory Teachers Ber Allee and Carly Adkinson nominated Luke for his amazing attitude to his learning and how he has embraced his assistive technology.
Ber said “Luke has done fantastically well for his GCSEs using Dragon throughout his exams. He is now doing A levels in Sociology, Politics and History. We wish him all the best for the rest of this important school year. Congratulations Luke on your achievements!”
Luke said “What I enjoy about Dragon Dictation and the software itself is that it is able to pick up the words which I speak incredibly clearly. With very few mistakes. This software allowed me to get the words which were stuck inside my head out onto paper. Instead of sitting there and just thinking about it, I was able to get out all of these ideas into paragraphs. which allowed me to achieve the great I got in my exams.”

to Luke
