In 2003 I commenced work at William Hutson Junior School, taking on the role of the school’s ICT technician. This role has involved
basic ICT technical solving, web design and management, as well as network management and planning as the job has
progressed. I have to work with the pupils and teachers, providing training as well as support and advice. I have implemented
several new aspects into the ICT of the school, in how it is used and managed and further look to continue to improve how ICT is
used throughout the school. In 2004 I was contracted to another school in the area, Castle Park Infants School, to work as their
