Thanks for the links. The problem is that my schools are an infant and a 
junior school. You mentioned something about ICT technicians... well there 
certainly aren't any within the schools and as far as support from the LEA 
is concerned... well this is the same LEA that sent a team of painters to 
paint over a hole in a wall before the plasterers had been to fill the hole 
in :-\

Cheers

Steve
