 Background

 I have created this database for a local secondary school called The Connaught School.

The Head teacher of school is Mr. Hanna which has been head for twelve years. The deputy head is Mr. Flower which has been deputy for ten years. The school contains over fifty teachers and helpers. It furthermore has a learning support team which helps the less able pupils. The school accepts boys and girls of any religion and any race. The uniform includes of black blazers, green and black tie, white shirts, black trousers, and black shoes. Among the school contains a leisure centre which has two brand new sports halls and one large gym. The leisure centre funs a various amount of clubs and activities. For example football, basketball, cricket, boxing, judo, karate, table tennis and badminton. The school does not have a 6th form; however has a day-care service for young children. In the main building it has one canteen for pupils and staff. Recently the school has required new computers in its computer centre. This database will help to organise their pupil data as they are currently storing their information on paper in file-ing cabinets.
