  1. Not on my watch. The risk is too high - you plug them in to charge, the cleaner unplugs, one goes down during a real exam. Devastating damage to one pupil's future.
  2. Advice from Zoe on WHEN to use your valuable LFTs...
  3. If my employer expected me to come into work (especially IN A SCHOOL) with a notifiable disease, it would be PHE and Union time.
  4. I think this is the first time the whole forum has been speechless...
  5. Another ways of marking boundary 'ownership' is a red edge to the inside of the boundary. If it is your side of the line, your boundary. USUALLY fence posts are on the owners side of the fence. "Pretty" side towards the neighbors, but don't rely to heavily on this as repairs/replacements get done by those who don't know (or who do, and are uncaring/bloody minded).
  6. We use both remaining IT suites for A level MFL listening exams. They need independent control of a short audio passage.
  7. We'd need to see what's on the other end I'm afraid. There are several species of UHF connector.
  8. I like the 'wiggly road' sign...
  9. Very similar here. I get that the wholesale price has risen, but wth is going on with the standing charge? The wires are still there, they still aren't reading my meter, other fixed costs haven't changed... Oh, making an obscene profit, clearly.
  10. I know what it intends, however some seem to be interpreting it in bizarre ways.
  11. T marks on the inside of the boundary, or red edging to the line, again on the inside.
  12. Oh yes...
  13. I think he's really rather good. Didn't get on with Shadows of The Apt series though.
  14. Rained so hard this morning at 6, it set a car alarm off!
  15. The plan was to travel to my father's Friday afternoon as 1/2 term starts. School went on line, so we left home at 7 on the South Coast, and kept ahead of it up to Rutland. Blowing here, but not damaging.
  16. [sarcasm]So? That only affects poor people; why should we worry about that?[/sarcasm]
  17. There is another advantage to this; and I've had it done in two suites here. The switch is at the teachers' desk - to guarantee focus from the kids, turn their monitors off. Beware the Biology department freezer. If that gets turned off, you are going to be very unpopular.
  18. They've kissed and made up... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60413957
  19. Lift made by "The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation".
  20. Owl Kitty is GOOD....
  21. How long does it take for the network to start from cold, and does it reliably? I wonder how many times the Head would tolerate delays to work starting because something hangs half way started. Madness...
  22. Sure - but Facebook today, your bank tomorrow, and the NHS the day after? We ALL need protection against rapacious business, even if we don't realize it.
  23. No - a risk assessment of the OP's situation is required to DECIDE if it is moot in the cases under consideration.
  24. I'd say that you cannot meet the DSE requirements for "computer users" without some sort of external. A stand and keyboard/mouse and/or a monitor at the correct height. They are fine for a bit of light typing, but not for long periods of typing/drawing/etc. A teacher could run a lesson through a projector without, but you would need to do a RA / DSE assessment.
