synaesthesia Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 £40 cash for an experienced member of staffs time (an hour) to discuss IT... Pretty much confirms how valued IT and it's staff are within the DfE. I mean, if they were going to pay for an IT suite or even a couple of chromebooks maybe...
TheRobins Posted February 5, 2024 Author Posted February 5, 2024 Ha ha ha remember who we are dealing with. However, if it means they might start to listen... 1

Pretty much confirms how valued IT and it's staff are within the DfE. I mean, if they were going to pay for an IT suite or even a couple of chromebooks maybe... Wait, you are being paid more than £40 an hour?... Though of note is the School will get the £40... Edited February 5, 2024 by TechMonkey
drutt Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Wait, you are being paid more than £40 an hour?... Apprentices everywhere:
synaesthesia Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Wait, you are being paid more than £40 an hour?... Though of note is the School will get the £40... I (as do most of us, I imagine!) wish! Still, like what a plumber charges - just because what's what you're being paid, doesn't make it what you're worth.
psydii Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 (edited) Wait, you are being paid more than £40 an hour?... I would expect that a few on here are MAT Directors of IT and higher, and it's also not an unreasonable salary for a Deputy Head. FWIW a salary like that is currently one of my goals.

DrCheese Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Ha ha ha remember who we are dealing with. However, if it means they might start to listen... eh, more likely they'll make some "DFE specifications document" that doesn't actually match what schools can afford. 1
