Yes we do have a filter provided by the LEA but it is not the most intuitive in terms of reporting. The classroom management etc was just a nice add on. As I mentioned, we are open to other suggestions dependent upon cost, hence why AB Tutor was an attractive option! From these comments though we will certainly be looking at other solutions. I experienced Securus about 6 years ago and found it to be very good but expensive at the time. Will need to look at prices and take them back to our BM.

Ah, thanks for that. I was looking at Impero initially but heard there have been problems with recent versions. Is that something you have used?

Afternoon all We are currently looking into AB Tutor (or others, open to suggestions!) for a large primary school. The particular focus is the esafety aspect, keyword detection, screenshot evidence etc. I have been asked to get some feedback from people who have used AB Tutor, so if any of you would be kind enough to offer your thoughts (via PM if you prefer) it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can connect to your Office365 in powershell and run this script to produce a csv of all mailboxes then just sort by last logon date once you open the csv: get-mailbox | get-mailboxstatistics | export-csv "file path\file name.csv"

It's seems to be that this blue bulb idea just go thrown out there and they have gone with it. I am going to have a chat with our deputy about it and hopefully contact the adviser/parent of the pupil to see what the needs actually are and hopefully come to an arrangement that is best for everybody.

Thanks for this, I did suggest the glasses but it didn't seem too popular. I will go back armed with this information and see what they say.

It took quite an effort to keep a straight face! Thank you for the replies, we haven't had such a situation before so I did not want to jump in with my opinion without doing a bit of research first. I was told it was her health adviser (something along those lines) that has requested this, so I will go back and ask some questions! Thanks again.

Hi Everybody, I have been asked to get a blue bulb for one of our projectors due to a child in that class suffering from epilepsy. Now putting the issue of the "blue bulb" to one side, does anybody have any ideas on how I could achieve a similar outcome. The projector is an Epson EB-X11. I have been looking around and all I seem to be finding is the IWB's do not trigger a seizure unless the content contains flickering images etc. Does anyone have any experience of this? Thanks in advance.

I currently have a HTC One, had it since release. Not once had a problem of any kind, no crashes, nothing. Dropped it a few times too and the screen is still in perfect condition! the battery will just about last me the day, without any power saving apps or settings in place. Can't say much else really, love the phone.

I assume you are going to be doing this through a form and storing the make id in the models table? If so, write a separate select query for your models drop down where the criteria for make_id is the id number stored in the "make" drop down field of your form. For example your criteria could be: Forms!Form_Name!Make_dropdown_name. Then just create a drop down box based on this new query for your models. You would then use this same scenario for your locations and areas. That's the way I am doing it at the moment for a job system I am building, somebody may know a better way though.

My SQL is a little rusty but I think you may need something along these lines: SELECT Pu.Last_name, Pu.First_Name, C.Name, sum(Po.value) as Cat_Total FROM pupils AS Pu JOIN points AS Po ON Pu.ID = Po.Pupil_ID JOIN Categories as C ON Po.Category_ID = C.ID GROUP BY Pu.Last_name, Pu.First_Name, C.Name Have to double check the terminology but hope it gets you on the right path.

Ah that's brilliant news! Thank you.

We are currently using SIMS to track our EYFS children. The problem we have is it is restricted to 30-50 and 40-60 months when recording each Early Learning Goal. Some of the children are beyond 40-60 months and therefore we need to record whether they are entering, developing or secure for each ELG. I am considering recreating the aspects etc and adding the functionality myself but it would take a while and would be a waste of time if something was being developed for the Spring release. Anybody have any further info/ideas on this?

I've been working as a Technician in a primary school for the last 2 years and have just taken on the role of data officer as well. It's interesting reading all of the comments so far and scary to think of a world without result sets! Fortunately I am building the system from the ground up so I will be following this thread and the Data Managers group with interest. Keep up with the good advice!
