Timetable scheduling is a critical task each year for school administrators, who are not only challenged by the coordination of resources but ensuring the result still takes into account the ‘human element’. While many digital solutions have been created which work to quickly compute a feasible timetable, many fail to take into account what really matters, which is what solution increases students’ chance of success.

The most innovative software can now achieve both ends of the spectrum: a seamless timetable that’s also built to help students succeed. The following list depicts the key characteristics school timetable software should contain to ensure you get the best result for both students and teachers:

- The ability to quickly generate both simple and complex timetables that are clash-free and optimally disperse lessons throughout the week for both students and staff.
- Optimise your key staff and classroom resources.
- Offer solutions for resource challenges such as staff absence and room availability.
- Update staff and students in real time on any device when timetable changes occur.

Another major factor to consider when electing school timetable software is the ability to integrate with existing systems in your workplace. Marrying up with your school management system allows for data such as attendance, assessment and reporting to be shared and change to be easily managed. It also avoids staff doubling up on tasks, as making one change can flow through to all integrated systems.
