The votes have been cast & now the results have been announced. Drum roll………………………………………………………..1st Place went to Ysgol Y Traeth– congratulations & well deserved. 2nd place went to Frobisher Primary and Nursery School a truly amazing effort from everyone Involved, over 21,000 schools were involved and we managed to come 2nd. Everyone put in so much effort it makes me really proud. It was an extremely close battle and for most of yesterday it looked like we had it, but as time was running out Ysgol Y Traeth stole it at the end. Due to the enormous effort made by both schools Tesco has just announced that 2nd Place Frobisher Primary and Nursery School will also be getting a prize (school uniform for l). Well done Tesco! (Good bit of PR for you) And to all of you who helped out on here, thank you so much we couldn’t have done so well without you!

We've fallen behind again, still have a chance with the last couple of hours of voting left. This has been an exciting competetion for both the children, families & wider comunity, however I'm dissapointed at some of the remarks being made by other parents of schools in contention of winning on their facebook walls.

I didn't read any sarcasm in PriorityOne post whatsoever, bit confused how you could read that into it.

OK so we're 34 votes behind, however staying positive as I know the help I'm getting from here might just get us back into contention - thanks everyone

They certainly do, (amongst other schools as well). We've fallen behind, now in 2nd place. running out of ideas at the moment, (doesn't help when other school hijack your thread) Fingers crossed might still be able to do it

and here's the latest update, wait for it.................... .................we're 1st:whoo: we are leading by 17 votes. You have all been so helpful, i'm lost for words, truly amazing:clap2: I fully expect the other school's to turn up the heat n try to make a comeback so I know we can't rest on our laurels

Thank you PriorityOne, very grateful of your support

Hi everyone, Hopefully this is the right place to post this, I've been asked by my niece to he support her school in this competition that Tesco is running on Facebook. The school is in one of the most deprived areas of the UK and they have the chance to win school uniform for the whole school. If you have facebook & a spare minute all you need to do is: • On facebook search “Clothing at Tesco” • Click to “Like” the page • On the left hand side of the page click the tab “Uniform Giveaway” • You will now be on the vote page. Select “Essex” as the Local Authority and “Frobisher Primary and Nursery School” • Click vote If you can help I know my niece would be so grateful

Hi honeybee13, how do i do that?

Just a bump for the evening crowd...... Has anyone got any advice regarding the evidence not being given to me at hearing & being produced after I was sacked? Thank you

Thanks for the advice. To add to my previous post in another thread, I've managed to find a text message (on my phone) from my boss telling me not to worry about keeping the ledgers up to date but to concentrate on a new project, As we can catch up with them later. I know you mentioned data protection in the prevoius thread but as this was sent to my personal phone I'm sure i can use this in an ET (can't I?) What about the company not gving me their eveidence at the disciplinary meeting? does that count for anything? also the evidence that I have now got from them I'm clearly able to prove that this was constructed after I was sacked? does this help me in anyway?

Hi all Hopefully just a quick one I was sacked for gross misconduct, at the original disciplinary meeting before a decision was made I wasn't given any evidence of the allegations against me. On being told I was sacked I requested an appeal hearing, as I had disagreed with this. At the appeal hearing I was presented with their evidence. This evidence related to new allegations which were not part of the original disciplinary, also there was evidence which did relate to the original allegations but had clearly been produced after my sacking. So I know I'm probably clutching at straws but this has got me thinking: They can't bring up new allegations after my sacking? Has the company acted wrongly by not giving me the evidence at the original disciplinary meeting. (I was informed they were investigating 6 - 8 weeks before I had disciplinary meeting, I was off sick at teh time) Can I argue that the company didn't make a fair decision as they never had the evidence at the time, It is clear that they only got thier evidence after I had been sacked. I'm guessing this is why they never produce evidence at the original disciplinary meeting. I wonder if someone more legal minding (it wouldn't take much) would let me know what they think. thanks for reading

An independent department had reviewed this one particular ex employee's work and had identified that the reports were incorrect, as I was in charge of correcting these reports I was also "cc" into the emails, these were also sent to my personal email as I worked from home or in other locations around the country. As these emails were sent to my personal email and I was in some way envolved would I not be able to use these as proof? As I didn't take them from the office. I can also call upon this employee as a witness if need be, so wouldn't that help my case? I don't know if this is important or not but my P45 was issued (at least dated) before the date that I was actually dismissed.

Thanks for the feedback, certainly food for thought.............. Some of the stuff I mentioned above I am able to prove, especially concerning the employee who resigned and was not sack as I was a witness to this and have copies of the email between the company and ex employee. I guess I need to think long and hard about what steps I next take PS.Are the company alowed to withold holiday payment which has been acrued throught the year as I haven't been paid for this?

Thanks for the reply SarER....... Yes you are correct in the fact that I didn't keep some of the ledgers up to date, the other things that they are accussing me of not doing are: apparantly I was asked to stop a monthly report, however they don't have any evidence of this and I totaly believe they never asked as they have always emailed me such requests and then would chase up if I hadn't confirmed by email. I was accused of being told a procedure I was using was wrong time & time again, however I had never been giving a verbal or written warning. Being accused of mistakes that I haven't even made, as I'm off ill and not able to help it's my fault. When I was signed of ill my employer spoke to my husband and admitted he new what was wrong me. The main reason I think this is unfair and why I'm so angry is that I'm being treated different to other employees, for example one employee had produce incorrect reports dateing back several years, hadn't followed any of the company procedures and nearly all the ledgers hadn't been kept uptodated for at least 2 maybe 3 years. Not only was he not sacked for gross misconduct, when he handed his notice in the company tried to get him to stay. I know I fell behind in my keeping one of the ledgers updated, (3 months behind) this was mostly due to the fact that I was updateing and correcting all the my other colleagues work. Why am I being treated differently, I strongly believe it's because I was signed of sick from work
