Notifications to staff of cancelled cover arrangements and to staff and students of cancelled room closures

Staff currently only know if cover is cancelled when it falls off their timeline - a formal notification confirming that cover is no longer required would be extremely helpful. Ditto when a room closure takes place and staff and students are notif...

Seating plans for all lessons, similar to external exams manager

Maintain report mapping to previous report cycles from archived Gradebooks

We have noticed that once Gradebooks have been archived, which is the reasonable process to do after rolling over every year. The report mapping to previous/historical report cycles are removed. This means that all gradebook data is removed from s...

Room cover functionality

It is sometimes necessary to move lessons from one place to another. This does not seem to be possible as to move a lesson from a room, the room needs to be "closed" which then means it cannot be used to house another lesson. This seems to me to b...

Add Pupil to MULTIPLE SETS at once

SO tedious to add one set and then another one using the painful dropdown menu. You need to at least be able to multiple select the sets from the huge dropdown (which also needs to be able to be filtered by year group).

Add an additional option to the Exams Manager Candidate Special Arrangements called 'Coloured Paper

Students may have Exam Special Arrangements which specify that they need coloured paper. It would be helpful to have this added as a check box option that can be viewed alongside the others as it does not currently appear.

To be able to add a new student to multiple teaching sets at the same time

If a new student arrives, we have to open the teaching sets and click on "add students" one by one. It would be easier if I could go to the student's profile somewhere and add a list of the sets she/he would join as we do it when importing sets at...

Ability to split the cover period into two and assign different teachers

We have hourly timetable periods but sometimes we need to split the period into two half hourly cover periods and assign different staff. This facility ensures that the relevant people are aware that they need to cover a class. Some of our staff a...
