When we suspend lessons by year group (not by set), it also effects other year groups if we have a student out of their year in that class/set. Example: I have suspended Upper 6 lessons for study leave. A Lower 6 lesson showing as suspended in cov...
Remove top 5 absent teachers or give the module granular permissions
Granular permissions for Cover manager widgets. Currently all staff who have access get to see the "Top 5 absent teachers" this goes against the ICO guidance that "An employer must not publish ‘league tables’ of sickness absences of individual wor...
Suspending a timetable also marks rooms as free for room changes
When a timetable is suspended e.g. Y11 go on leave on exams, it marks the room allocated to their lessons as avaliable so that these show up when allocating room changes.
