The hidden cost of duplicate calendars

When finance counts fee days from one sheet, attendance from another, and exams from a third, every calendar change becomes a reconciliation project. Teachers lose trust in timetables; families get conflicting messages about working days.

  • Exam sessions respect holidays and term boundaries automatically
  • Fee installments align to academic milestones
  • Leave approvals avoid clashes with events and exams
  • Timetable publishes against the same year structure
