The deployment is basically a mixture of WDS/MDT. The advantage comes in the maintenance, SCCM allows you to automate software deployments.

Best bet is to evaluate what people are storing and educate them. If it's personal stuff then find an alternative plan ( Maybe a partition, a usb stick or plainly use their own equipment) . If they are storing media files then resize or convert them and give them the tools to do it themselves. -
The first time something like this is implemented it will be a week before some important bod insists that their emails are vital and need to be delivered and read in real time and that an exception has to be made for emails they send out.

Yup, Unless you can find a GPO to stop them staring out the window or set Impero to stop them spinning the chairs then you may as well just hope that the teacher can keep the kids on task!.

Introduce a grassing scheme. If you can take a suitable photo of someone else's failures the school pays £10 and the person gets taken into the office. -
Saving to local machines is not an option for obvious reasons.

And how do you feel about OFSTED?. Do you feel they help you with the massive amount of paperwork you need to do?. Do they give you quality time with the students?. Do they help you when you submit a budget request for new materials. I assume you welcome the school business manager questioning you about your teaching and why more of your students aren't getting better results?.

Assuming infrastructure is the issue. More likely to be a dodgy photocopier, Teachers unable to access dailymotion, The PE staff not able to get wireless at the edge of the sports field, the art teacher unable to teach without the latest mac and Adobe suite, the English teacher not happy to walk 10 metres to the MFD to collect their prints, the school secretary complaining that Gmail bamboozles her and the 80 year old primary teacher arguing that paper register is all she needs.

I think you need to build bonds in school. You've not said anything quantifiable. You might do better to engage more. Maybe ask your NM to complete a SWOT analysis to see what he thinks the issues are and what the priorities are. You might find things like running backups on a shoestring budget are getting in the way of fast access to youtube.

You have to do what you are asked to do by the leaders of your school Don't confuse matters by doing things unless you've been asked too. There should be a whole school policy in place and you should be consulted as to how you are to implement the policy within the larger picture. -
Also testout used to do a student discount, was very good!.
-
As a side note, if you do any exams then make sure you get academic discount, brings it down to about £50.

Key thing is to get to the gym. Once you've started going then work out whats good for you. Find out about HR zones, get a fitbit to monitor HR and track progress. Buy Aria scales so you have a decent record of weight loss / lean mass. Get your mp3's sorted or find a decent podcast. Then join a class, spin,boxercise, fight klub. They are all much more efficient than plodding on a treadmill. For diet, lots of meat and Veg. Cut out excessive sugar and plan your meals.
