ATB - as the others have said - safeguarding, first aid, awareness of GDPR, ability to be flexible, maintain cool and professionalism when being pulled in 20 directions, maintaining confidentiality, ability to prioritise when the said 20 directions turn into 30. SIMS is just a database. If it has rubbish in it, it will give you rubbish out. Excel is very useful, as is word processing / mail merging. A knowledge of HR procedures is useful, but depends on the school set up and what services they have bought into. Money is always tight, so good budgetary control is essential. Many of the school data collection systems are unique to schools, so you can't be expected to know exactly how they work if you don't have school experience, but at the end of the day they are databases and reporting systems. Good old fashioned logic and common sense usually works. Good luck!

I'm getting nowhere fast today - a bit of this, a bit of that. I've just made myself a super healthy salad as I was craving freshness. Pretty impressive, I think, given that I made DD a bacon roll at the same time! As a result of yesterday's flingage in the utility room, I am also cooking some chickpeas which I had soaked last night. Another packet that kept falling on my head has gone to be turned into a dinner.

Only taken an hour for Himself to get up - I credit this to an assist from the Idiot Cat, who quite charmingly decided to leap upon me and start chewing on my hand, then offering to fight anybody who looked at him. Himself decided that his various extremities would be safer once covered in clothing and he was in a standing position. The joys of having just swished around the bathroom with bleach, eh?


NB. Upstairs bathroom now bleached. Not bothering with floor because going to have a bath later and can sort it out when dealing with wet towels, etc.

Jojo, glad to 'see' you posting, have you eaten? Make sure you do please.

Been carbooting and got soaked with rain early on and got very cold, (was not forecast) so packed up and came home, lo and behold the sun came out, typical, so I have unpacked the car, dried off 'stuff' and packed it away in the garage until next week.
Hoovered out the car
Been food shopping
Eaten left overs yum.
Made a list of 'things' to do starting Monday over and above the FL's list.

Bathroom sparkled, laundry put away, dishwasher stacked, things tidied, dog walked and fed. Onward and upward.

Silver badger-stripe decluttered. Unfortunately, that wiped me out for the rest of the day.

Meet'n'greet yesterday seemed to go well; Springer Spaniel Bessie is an absolute delight, and if she'd wagged her tail much more, I think it would have fallen off! :rotfl:

Valli

Washing brought in, thankfully dry as FINALLY her over the back has had the hedge trimmers in and there's only 3ft of leylandii visible higher than the fence. WOOTY WOOTY WOOT WOOT. So I needed to get it in before anything blew onto it. The allotment is bearing fruit and some has been [STRIKE]dumped on[/STRIKE] kindly donated to me and has resulted in jars of the most delicious strawberry jam. Never made that before has have never had access to the quantity needed.
Been to town - more flingage as bag has gone to Oxfam.

Thanks for the input guys I will finalise the form this evening and send it off tomorrow. I have written a list as long as my arm of things to do this week, whilst working almost full time too on a temp job.

We took the children out to a local outdoor play area for a few hours earlier; I'm exhausted, they're not! Bedding washed and waiting to go back on the bed. Kids have eaten; DH & I are having a cheeky Sunday takeaway later.

DH has eaten a frog in the form of sewing DDs Rainbows badges on that have been waiting weeks. He's also cleared the leaves from the drive. I've made his packed lunch for tomorrow and am now signing off for the night. Up at 5.15 tomorrow as need to be at work at 7.

See you all on the new thread xx

ATB When someone rings in for info I have to take a switchboard number and call them back (ie I follow a protocol) and all information given out is recorded. eg I might get a call asking is a particular child is on roll. And you need access to tissues...and broad shoulders.

Hi all

Oooh atb good luck, I always think it would be an interesting job to do.

JoJo I can beat the door slamming. DS1 was at a wedding do and got home at 2am, came upstairs, opened our bedroom door, sank gracefully to his knees and flat onto his face by our bed. I put my hand out to check he was still breathing and left him to it. He slept like that for a couple of hours before shuffling off to his bed.

The night before the dog woke at 2am frantically barking which is very very unusual - cue us anxiously getting out of bed to check cars, sheds etc. No idea what was up with him.

So today ... lots of laundry, kitchen blitzed including microwave and halogen oven, load of rubbish and some recycling to the tip, Stirfry done for tea and some paperwork dealt with. Must washing bathroom floor but thats about it.
