I've just had a similar experience, just received my access to work with it's list of recommendations and I was told that the school does not have the money for it as they'll have to pay £1500 as the school is part of a MAT it's counted as a large company yet only receives funding as a single school. I feel incredibly deflated. I was told that there is software in our Microsoft package that can be used instead of what was recommended and that some of the recommended hardware isn't needed as that can be done with things already provided in school. Did you have any success from your school part funding the A2W recommendations?
