Welcome to cyram.org. This website is where I store all of my projects and documents. I am the IT Coordinator and Year 5 Maths teacher at St. Andrew's School in Rochester, Medway, Kent in the United Kingdom.
This website is a staging ground for my various projects, experiments and ideas. I update the site when I can on a semi-regular basis when I can find the time.
