Secondary schools will have to pass Final Conversion by the end of the Autumn Term 2004 so that they can do PLASC in January 2005. Briefings for secondary schools have now been held. There will also be training available to assist staff getting to grips with the new software. Please contact Dawn Webster (dawn.webster@cambridgeshire.gov.uk, 01480 376655) to arrange this.

The Autumn CD should be with you shortly. Please install this as soon as possible as it contains (among other things) NOVA 4.82, which will assist you in resolving issues relating to SQL conversion of your NOVA data.

Please ensure you have also visited the Resources page.
