Good Evening All, Technician job available at my school as the technician is leaving to become a teacher. Details at Vacancies | Stretford Grammar School James

Good Evening All, My job is officially available as of today. I am starting a PGCE in September so will be leaving. Its a fantastic opportunity for someone to takeover a well cared for network infrastructure at a school with amazing students and a fantastic, supportive SLT. Purchases and projects have been staggered into three and four yearly cycles to make purchases and budgets manageable and there are great opportunities to design and implement new projects. I have adored my 8 years at the school. So much in fact that it convinced me to go into teaching and I think that reflects very positively on the school. details at Vacancies | Stretford Grammar School James

Good Morning All, Working with Visual Studio 2013 Here. I am trying to find a way of changing the Default "Build Output Path" setting for projects (Project--:>Properties-->Compile-->Build Output Path). Note - Would also love to customise the references too (Properties-->References->Add) but this is less of a priority. Hoping to find a config file which I can customise and deploy but cant seem to find the right one. Does anyone have a clue? Any Help Hugely Appreciated, James

is it an AMD/ATI Graphics Card? Sometimes these have an "auto scaling" turned on by default in the ATI Catalyst Control Centre Software!

Good Morning All, I feel like I am banging my head against a wall with this. We use Sharepoint for our school calendar and have done for a long time. However, when we search for events, it will not show any results from 2016. I am unsure if this is by design, can someone else confirm if this works for them? FYI We are running Sharepoint 2010. Thanks, James

Hey CAM, Your post got me thinking. Could I export this report, format the data as a like and reimport back into some nicely named Aspects eg "Maths GCSE Result Grade" etc? is there a process in sims to do this? Forgive my ignorance, James

glad to know i have given something back, since i am stealing everyone elses knowledge!

Thanks again Hschram and CAM, I am getting to grips with this now. My intention is to output a report from sims each year after results day and put the data into the Transition matrices supplied at https://dataeducator.wordpress.com/tools-for-schools/ (which I believe is supplied by someone here - so thank you so much!!). What does everyone else do in this regard? I am outputting a report on year 11 with the following details: Data Fields: Assessment Results - filtered to Aspect Name is "KS2 Average Sub Level" Assesment Results - filtered to Aspect name is one of - Contains "WJEC/GCSE" and "Result Grade" or "OCR" and "Result Grade" or "AQA" and "Result Grade" or "EDEXL/GCSE" and "Result Grade". This does output the data I want but it requires some fiddling afterwards: 1 - some students do not have a KS2 Sub Level apparently - Currently debating with SLT whether to estimate this individually or supply a stock average 2 - It is outputting some Aspects with Cash In Codes which represent individual pieces of qualifications eg English Speaking and Listening module which is odd. Thats my progress so far anyway, what does everyone else do? any tips? Thanks James

Hi CAM, Thank you so much, I have found them now in the aspect browser via their codes under CES Examination Services --> Board--> AQA/Whatever I have tested this with biology and it is working so hurrah! Follow up questions, the Bio code is "AQA 4401 Result Grade F", will this be the same each year or will it change? also, what does the "F" stand for in this description? Thanks, James

and I can see the codes in the Exams Module basedata too in the format AQA-1234 , how do these relate to aspect names? Again, any help hugely appreciated.

I can see within the Examinations PI DAta screen that each subject seems to have a "QAN" number which is an 8 digit and a "Code" number which is a 4 digit. I am trying to find aspects containing these at the moment....

Hi Hschram! Firstly, thanks for getting back to me, that is really useful. Can you clarify a little more specifically how I decode the names of these aspects from the unique name/number for the exam results? I can see a lot of Aspects with the naming format such as: - Act: GCSE Maths Which my brain wants me to believe means "Actual GCSE Maths Grade" but I have found that the tracking grid brings up nothing with that, obviously that would just be too easy! Thanks, James

Hello All, I am and have been an ICT Network Manager in various schools for about 6 years and am now having my role take over a big portion of the data manager bit by bit. Mostly I am taking to it fine. I am having problems with the previous Data managers structure not really showing any consistency - ie Aspect Naming formats etc . This finally has me a little stumped. I have set up a number of Progress Tracking Grids to analyse student progress from KS2 against their predicted end of KS4 GCSE Grades and these have been great. So popular in fact that the Headteacher wants the same grids to now be used to analyse the actual results from this summer. This is my problem. I cannot find where the previous Data Manager had imported this data to! I can see the results under Tools - Examinations --> Edit PI Data . However I have no clue about the procedure necessary to get these grades into some usable aspects for the tracking grids. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Please forgive my ignorance! Any help would be hugely appreciated, James

I would be hugely interested in this too....

Just thinking out loud here but..... remove the smtp addresses from the accounts then sync to Office 365 (and make sure the old accounts have been deleted to match your AD) then re add and sync again.

Greetings all, ICT Technician job available at my school. Fantastic place to work and develop. Great leadership and support from SLT. There are lots of projects planned over the coming couple of years so there is a real opportunity to develop the schools ICT Infrastructure! more info

post edited - that will teach me for not proof reading my posts!

Fair point, but that would just mean that the users "copy" had changes that stick around, it wouldn't affect the central/original copy which is what I think eean was asking (unless I have misunderstood!) and would be an issue no matter where the central profile is stored. My setup (and this thread in general) is specifically about how hosting the profile on the c drive and a few tweaks to the profile and registry can dramatically decrease login times.
