What it is
Tes Timetable is school scheduling software for creating and adjusting customised timetables, including complex schedules. Schools can automate schedules or make manual allocations, identify and fix teacher and room clashes, adapt to staffing changes, and assign student subject choices. It can handle flexible working requests and create supplementary timetables for student groups with needs outside regular activities. Premium and Premium Plus include Choice, an online class-selection portal that supports electives with prerequisites, multiple streams, and balanced lines using room and staffing data. Those packages also include Daily, which provides temporary timetabling for staff absences, automated communications, and SMS and email notifications. Tes says the product integrates with more than 70 systems, including Compass, Sentral, Arbor, and iSams. It is available on web and Windows. The E10 desktop application requires a native 64-bit Windows 10 or later PC; macOS and virtual environments are not supported for E10. Pricing is on request, and the Australian product page offers a free demo.
