  1. We have key switches on the door releases in the most vulnerable areas instead of a break glass, which all staff have a key to; in the event of a fire alarm the doors automatically release anyway. We have risk assessments in place and this has all been check by the council's Health and Safety team.
  2. Senior IT Technician | Pioneer House School
  3. Have a really tight budget this year, so had to make do with this: Dell Precision T3600 Intel Xeon E5-1620 3.60GHz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD AMD FirePro W5000 Creative SB Recon 3D Roll on the new financial year!
  4. We use Zoom H1 recorders, they are about £80. We have used some expensive kit in the past, but these have been just as good and easier to use. We just use Audacity to convert multiple .wav files to mp3 (although they do come with Wavelab).
  5. Last year I went on the following course - Data Protection: An A-Z Guide by Act Now (Act Now Training) It was a small group of 6/8 and the information provided was more than adequate for ensuring that schools meet their legal obligations - it was one of the best courses that I have been on. You only need more advanced training if you are going to be the data controller and are required to deal with queries as part of your job.
  6. When I ran it on my computer, the XML file was saved to C:\Program Files\SIMS\Sims.net\CASPA Pupil Data 2012. Have you already looked there?
  7. They are correct in stating 'black and white' printer - look at all the printer manufacturers websites!
  8. I am currently reviewing our current backup system; looking to get a Dell PowerVault TL-4000 tape library and two LT05 drives. Do any of you use the TL-4000 or can you recommend an alternative. Many Thanks
  9. I spoke to Valiant about two weeks ago; they said that they had to recall all Roamer Too devices due to a manufacturing fault and that they would be available for delivery in May. Now I don't know if I was just being fobbed off or not.
  10. Yes did it countless times, good job I did becuase a lot of stuff that was agreed on the plans hadn't been done. It was only on the long walk rounds that I picked up stuff that was missing / in the wrong place, and then was able to get it sorted before the contractors were off site. Some areas of the build you won't be able to access untill very late on, so it is important to build up a good relationship with the LA Project Manager (they are supposed to look out for the school / LA), which ours did. Make sure there is enough power points to each network point (e.g. for scanners / speakers), also where the teachers desk will go in relation to the IWBs. You need to go in to every detail, otherwise you will find that things are out of place (we even checked radiators weren't going to be under interactive whiteboard). I was also involved in the furniture layouts, so I could makes sure the locations worked, also blinds, so I could make sure rooms had blackout blinds where needed.
  11. View ==> Design Mode for the Form. Then on the property sheet==> Navigation Buttons = No.
  12. Could you modify this. IF Question - MrExcel Message Board
  13. The thing is I am a member of SLT with responsibility for strategic management of ICT. It took 18 months for the LA to come back to us saying they had lost my job description; now they keeping asking for silly bits of information. Will take another 2 years at this rate!!!
  14. Currently the ICT / Network Manager job descriptions only go upto SO1 in my LEA; so this is why I am strugging to get my job evaluated (must say the school is fully behind me).
