I've just quit my job at the cat shelter. I had no choice as they reduced meowers...

A local special school is seeking to employ an ICT Manager. All details can be found in the attachments or via their website Job Vacancies – Redwood School. ICT Manager JD.docx ICT Manager PS.docx IT Manager Advert.docx RMBC Application Form.docx It's a lovely school with a head that is keen to support and develop the right candidate, and, unusually has money to spend in developing IT within the school.

@maxrebo Yes, it integrates with ParentPay in much the same way as Cunninghams did.

To be fair, I've said exactly the same for years, but these are far more rugged than a domestic TV.

These aren't second hand screens they are made by a Turkish company (Vestel?) and come with a 5 year warranty. As I said, i'm not in a position to reccommend them yet, just trying to make people who may be looking to save some money aware of their options.

CC Communications (Home - CC Communications) are offering screens at vastly under the prices that most of their competitors offer. I had a quick look at them at the Schools and Academies Show in Birmingham in November, and they looked decent enough. They will be at BETT offering special pricing of £895 for a 65" model. They are also releasing a 75" model at around £1300 (but don't quote me on the 75" price, it wasn't confirmed when I spoke to them). I'll be testing a 75" screen in the coming months, so my suggestion doesn't bear the Official ITBadger Seal of Approval ™ yet, but i'll update this thread (if someone reminds me to do so) once we have tested them out properly. Be sure to mention my name if you speak to them, I might get a discount if I decide to buy one after my trial!

We've used FasTrak for years now and it is sooooo much better than Cunninghams. The second post on this thread is the only example i've seen of anyone feeling that they would go back to the dark side. As i've said in other fora, the best compliment I can give it is that I was called upon to fix something on the Cunninghams system three or four times a week, now it's three or four times a year and that's normally because the kitchen staff have forgotten how to do something!
