[senco-forum] Storage of files [Scanned]

Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 20:21:47 +0100

Hello

  Staples call the files I have just started using 'flat bar files'.  See http://www.staples.co.uk/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=%2C&webid=225573&affixedcode=WW

  I got mine from my local company who supply our paper and they were cheaper than Staples' prices.  Just check that you are getting A4 or foolscap - we nearly made a very expensive mistake!

When I started in this post the previous SENCo used folders. I transferred all the statements to ring binders which were kept on a shelf in the SEN office. I was well happy. Until one day....
I went to the office in the afternoon, the door was open and there was a plumber and his mate  replacing the radiators in the office. The files were in full view of all the kids streaming into lessons and, of course, the workmen. To my chagrin I had to put everything  back in folders (this time I separated items with labelled cards) and put the folders in a locked filling cabinet. 
I am going to look at these Transfer Spring Files. Where can I get them? GLS? A-Z?
