Frequently Asked Questions

 
Dave will do the following:
  1. On request, Dave will email you the full Sample Visual Calculations Policy (which features both the Basic Edition and an outline of the Expanded Edition) for you to look at and chat through with your staff.
  2. Dave will discuss with you your particular requirements and design a bespoke VCP specifically for your school. The CPVCP is non-editable, but the WSVCP and the MSVCP can be adapted. Alterations could include:
    :: Deleting specific slides from the Sample VCP and renumbering the slides (no additional charge)
    :: Adapting the values, calculations or names shown on specific slides
    :: Designing new bespoke slides to represent additional strategies
    (Note: there is an additional cost of £5 per adapted and newly created posters – details in the notes that accompany the Sample VCP)
  3. Once the VCP is finalised, Dave will provide your school with a PDF version of your unique VCP for you to display and use creatively in school.
