TIMETABLE CONSTRUCTION

This is where the timetable itself is created. With subject blocks having been devised, numbers of sets agreed, and staffing in place, ProTemporis will collect from the school details of staffing allocations for the following year’s timetable. We will visit the school before timetable construction starts, to talk to each Head of Department about his/her wishes and requests, to view each teaching space, and to have an extended conversation with a representative from the senior management about what they want to achieve with the timetable from a management perspective. This person will act as a liaison between ProTemporis and the school throughout the timetable construction process.

ProTemporis will consult with the school regularly as the timetable takes shape. Issues may come up which require input from Head of Department, and all queries to them will be directed through the liaison member of the management team.

ProTemporis will undertake to deliver the completed timetable back to the school within eight weeks of submission of the departmental staffing allocations, notwithstanding any undue delays in the school responding to queries that arise during the construction process. We will issue timetables to each member of staff, as well as produce wallchart versions for posting on noticeboards. ProTemporis will work with software that is compatible with the school’s Management Information System, and will upload the new timetable electronically into your MIS in preparation for the new year.

If this service is purchased as part of an Annual Contract then ProTemporis will also manage any temporary timetable provision required within the school necessitated by, for example, long-term staff absence.

This service is inclusive of two day visits to the school.
