In the nigh on 6 years I've worked in I.T in the Education sector, the returns site has always failed. Have the DFES never heard of load balancing?

 

Jokers!

nope, every year it is the same yet we get the brunt of it when things are delayed becuase we work on "their" timetable.

Our LEA have pretty much given up on COLLECT.

 

For the first time i've worked in education, our census validated with no warnings or errors!
