Our school uses Capita for technology in Thomas Tallis, what responses have you had from other BSF’s (building schools for the future), about the work you do? Do you think the creativity of the school will suffer seeing as the school does not own the new building? Have there ever been issues with your network? And how do you deal with these issues? How have other schools dealt with having an outside party join their school on a day-‐to-‐day basis? Is Capita related to or work with any other firms/ companies? How long is your contract with Thomas Tallis? Mr Dean General What is your job role at Thomas Tallis? Do you think there are still things missing in the new school? If so what things? ** Community Do you think the Thomas Tallis community has changed? And why do you think this is? You’ve worked here since 1981, do you think the school is better place now that we’re in a new building? Do you think the Kidbrooke Regeneration project has impacted on students and staff? As a teacher do you feel more connected to the students in the new school?
As a teacher do you prefer teaching in this new school? Do you think the school will one day will change the network?

What is the new set up for the school, how is the school budgeted? What is the benefit of the school not owning the building? Do you think the head teacher of the new school should be more involved with the students? ** Links Do you feel staff and students are safe walking on the links? Do you think the new links are as safe as the old ones? Do you believe that something should be put on the link to make it safer? I.e. a marquee/ canopy? ** Facilities There are a lot of areas within the school that are not being used. Why is this? As responsible adults, (sixth form) why are we not able to access these facilities, if used in a responsible manner? What is going to happen to the Dojo and the other gym facilities in the school after the Olympics? Are there plans to run after school clubs in the gym? Are there any plans to create a bigger sixth form common room? We feel as sixth formers that the current one is too small. Would there be an opportunity to have a snack vendor put in?
