Hi @eddyc what would you like to know? We have been with RM, and used SafetyNet for the past ~4 Years+ we use their SafetyNet Go extension on our Chromebooks as well, for off-site filtering.

Yeah, I recently renewed mine as well. £5 no hesitation...!

Been using my Blue Light Card for ages now. Very useful...👍

Our most recent 1:1 batch (~120 devices) were the Dell 3100s. They are holding up well, and have auto updates until 2029. Went with Dell mainly due to the easy repairs, I can go online and buy pretty much any part for them and repair in house.

Kindle Fire Sticks? - Saw these for £19.99 on Amazon recently (Probably a prime day deal though).

Stone/Converge? I remember looking at their servers/services a while ago when we needed one. Decided to just migrate to cloud instead though.

RM here, can't complain to be honest.

I honestly thought mine would be hard to beat in this forum. Now I am crying ..... thanks 😆

Hikvision here, very old - but technically on-paper "still does the job". If I could replace I would go with a UniFi UNVR and their bullet cameras.

2001 here... (sorry for making you cry even more).

You will want Chromebook Plus models for staff. I haven't looked at pricing for a while from suppliers, but I think they range from anywhere between £4-500. We got these for some staff a while ago. Great laptops. EDIT - If budgets are tight (understandably) we have used these for staff chromebooks as well. Despite the lower spec processor, they still perform very well, and we haven't had any complaints!

I think it's because Google Workspace is just much easier to setup, configure and maintain compared to O365 (I have used and configured both for schools). Therefore, we see less threads and topics asking for guidance and troubleshooting. I think Google Workspace is less popular here, but in America it leads compared to Windows/O365. Like @jthompson mentioned, no licensing issues either, (O365 licensing is a very popular topic on here).

Starting to look at Wi-Fi access for our school field. We do not have any outbuildings etc I can run directly to, so it will need to be installed on the main site. Does anyone else have a similar setup? looking at the U7 outdoor specifically, as it has a directional antenna. Anyone have any feedback on this model? TIA.

iMovie, staff love it! but of course this is only useable on their iPads. We do have a school "shared" macbook though, which some teachers use for heavy editing.

£320 through RM at the moment.
