School timetable software with proxy cover built in
Set the school's periods once, override them per class where you need to, and build the week slot by slot. When a teacher is away, assign a proxy to cover their periods.
Included in Orbit at no extra cost, along with every other module.
What changes when Timetable moves into Orbit
- The master timetable is a spreadsheet that only one person can edit.
- On the morning a teacher calls in sick, the coordinator hunts for someone free.
- Teachers and students keep printed copies that go out of date.
- One live timetable. There are no stale printouts. Everyone sees the current week.
- Calmer mornings. Proxy cover is assigned in Orbit, not over a string of phone calls.
- Rooms on the timetable. Each slot names its room, so teachers and students know where to go.
The morning a teacher calls in sick
At 7:30 a.m. the science teacher reports sick. The coordinator opens the timetable, sees the periods that now need cover, and assigns a proxy teacher for each one.
The proxy sees the extra periods on their own timetable, and the class timetable shows who is covering. There are no notes on the staffroom board, and no rounds of phone calls.
What the Timetable module does

School-wide period timings, with overrides for classes that run a different day.
