I am looking to appoint a Trust Cloud Infrastructure Manager to aid in the growth of our Trust. We have migrated all sites to Office 365 and now looking for the right individual to take the entire infrastructure over and move us to the future. We are about to go through a period of sustained growth where we will take on a substantial amount of schools and have to stabilise their networks and move them to our infrastructure. I am also looking to start streamlining our service delivery processes and standardise our hardware across the sites so that every child and member of staff has access to the same high quality IT service no matter where they are. If this sounds like a challenge you are ready to take on then please apply using the link below.

Yet another vote for school cloud. Been amazing and he support if you ever need it has been great. My wife's primary school also uses it and they love it. They are talking about using it as an additional option to onsite parents evenings even after the pandemic ends as the parents have loved it so much.

Thanks for the goodies. Wasnt feeling great today and walked into the office to see it sitting, cheered me right up. Already got the socks on. I love the Very PC socks in all and every colour combination!!

Yeah got to agree, if costs permit always go for more. Cover all bases as trying to run another line later will be considerably harder. The 2nd point doesn't even need to be patched in at the minute so all you are spending is extra copper cable and patch panels.

I have run a few clubs over the years including minecraft, Lego and also Archery. I was a member of an archery club and the head asked if I would do it with a select few Y11 pupils. Went really well but I decided the following year didn't really have enough candidates that I thought I could trust completely to take part so we cancelled it.

This seems to be becoming a more wide spread trend. I have now heard a few schools taking a similar approach as laptops dont offer a good return on investment. They need replacing more often and are more likely to be broken or need some type of intervention from an IT person than what a PC will. The last argument I heard was that if the teacher needs to do work then they should do this work in school on a PC and then go home and have family time. I do not fall within this group. I look at it from my wife's standpoint who is a year 2 teacher but we also have two young children. My wife works in school until about 4 PM and then packs up, comes home and sees our children and depending on how she feels talks to me, haha. Then once we have put our children to bed she will get her laptop out and do her work that needs doing. This arrangement would not be possible if she didn't have a laptop and the only IT arrangements the school had were based in the actual building. In todays world I think schools need to think much more flexibly and look at learning from a world point and not put barriers in place.

haha, this is exactly what I come here to check. I have been so busy this year that i forgot to claim mine. hope they resend the link so I can get some.

We are also looking into this. If you are using office 365 if seems to be pretty straight forward. You can either use Teams to do a live broadcast or you can use Stream to pre record the session and then post it as a new Tab within the Teams page. Also, get the teacher to set the page up as a virtual classroom and Teams sets all the collaboration stuff up in the background for the teacher to share with the pupils. finally, you can use the admin side to analyse who has actually logged in and viewed the broadcast. We are also looking a basing a question sheet where the pupil will get the answers from the broadcast so we can make sure they actually watch it and not just log in and then close it straight away.
