Cover Manager

Frequently when cover is required due to part of a year group being out on a trip, we may combine classes. We couldn’t find an obvious way of combining classes and notifying teachers that this has happened. We found that we could get the same memb...

We would benefit from a quick add option in the cover module. I would have the opportunity to create an "absence" add a name and the time required. It would be great for invigilation and random duties we need to cover. It would generate a cover sl...

I would like to be able to publish from Cover Manager directly to the Daily Bulletin rather than saving a PDF printout and manually creating a new bulletin post each day. Rather than staff just seeing their own cover, they can see the cover overvi...
