Upgrading office equipment
|
Bawdsey VC Primary School spent its Small Schools Support Fund on new computer hardware - a new computer for the administration office, and a new laptop (because the old one had no facility for email). The head teacher also spent £500 to get the new cabling installed, and bought all the up-to-date software required by a modern school: word processing, spreadsheets, PowerPoint and Excel. She has found PowerPoint particularly useful for giving presentations, especially when she travels abroad to help develop the school's new links with eight partner schools across Europe. She said: 'The new computer system is still very new for us. We are still getting used to it but it is already making a huge difference.' |
Netherfield CE Primary School used part of the £6,344 it received from the Administrative Support Fund for Small Schools to upgrade the administration computer so that it could accommodate new Windows administration software. The secretary's time was increased so she could operate the system effectively and address the school's finance issues.
