Timetabling for international schools

Your students' subject choices become classes and printed timetables.

  • Parents pick A-Level subjects on a simple form from home.
  • Choices are sorted into option blocks, with a teacher and a room for every class.
  • Clashes are flagged with a fix, before term starts.
  • Every student and teacher gets a printed timetable.

Here's how it works.

Parents pick subjects from home. The coordinator turns every family's choices into classes, then prints a timetable for every student and teacher.

1 · A parent picks subjects at home

2 · The coordinator builds option blocks

3 · Everyone gets a printed timetable

Option blocks are built from everyone's choices.

Each class goes into a block, so the students taking it are free at that time. You see straight away how many students get their full combination.

Clashes are flagged, with a fix.

When a student's subjects land in the same block, the board says why and suggests fixes, with what each one costs.

Teacher periods and labs are checked.

No teacher is booked over the school's limit, and no two science classes are put in the same lab at the same time.
