New Job in Preston

In a little over three weeks I will be starting a new position at a school just north of Preston, having worked at a school in North Yorkshire for the past 4 years I have a couple of question.

1.Does anyone know what wave schools in Preston are for BSF?

2.What kind of ICT services does the LEA provide, I have heard about CLEO.

3.In my current position I have always found it useful to speak to or visit other schools and colleges in the area, would anyone be willing either through here or once I start in post to give me some contact details for a visit?

Thanks

what school is it mate?

Broughton Business & Enterprise College start 20th August

Welcome to Lancashire, although there are many users from lancs on here visit this site aswell here. I think BSF has started already in Preston?

Wish you the best of luck in the new job, what are they doing about your job? Are you being replaced or just spreading the load around?

Get yourself on the forum mentioned above - you'll see a lot of the same names on there as you do here.

Once you have had a chat with people on the LGfL DG forums you may find it useful to give a certain Chris Byers at the Lancashire Schools ICT Centre a ring. Chris will point you in the right direction for most things Lancs-based.

If you need a hand with anything else, contact me and we can have a chat - you're always welcome to visit too (I'm in Poulton - about 25 mins from Broughton).

Good luck, you'll have a hard time replacing me.

See you augest 20th. :)

Lancashire BSF info is here:
