Building Digital Skills: BSD’s Typing Competition Across School Levels

With 990 participants from all ISG schools, BSD Typing Competition concluded with 3 Typing Competition assemblies for KS1, KS2, Year 7-10 students where volunteers including teachers took part in a timed typing competition with and without a keyboard cover, and an ultimate challenge of bind fold typing.  

The competitions were successful and brought joy to students and staff. They also emphasised on the importance of this skill.
