Staffing, period grid, substitutes, and lesson planning
Define who teaches what, build and publish timetables, handle substitutes, and plan lessons against the same calendar your exams and attendance use, so teachers spend time teaching, not chasing schedules. Timetable chaos creates ripple effects across the whole school. Schoolyi connects teacher assignments, period grids, substitute coverage, and lesson planning in one workflow. Coordinators can auto-generate drafts, check feasibility, and publish confidently; teachers open one hub for their classes, materials, and weekly plans.
Outcomes
Practical results schools report after rolling out this area on the shared calendar and roster.
Published timetables everyone can trust, with clear substitute handoffs
Teachers see their classes, subjects, and tasks in one place
Lesson plans stay tied to the real school calendar
Academic heads spot staffing gaps before they become crises
Product truth
Good school software copy should answer who owns the work, what the handoff produces, and which parts still depend on deployment decisions.
This page describes the supported workflow boundary. Confirm configuration, integrations, data, and policy requirements in a representative pilot before committing to production.

Define who teaches what, build and publish timetables, handle substitutes, and plan lessons against the same calendar your exams and attendance use, so teachers spend time teaching, not chasing schedules. Because Teaching & timetable shares roster and calendar data, teams stop reconciling exports between spreadsheets and the parent portal.

These areas work closely with teaching & timetable and share the same calendar, roster, and role model.
Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.
Published grids use the same academic calendar as attendance and exams. Substitute coverage inherits the live period structure.
Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.
Yes. Draft timetables run feasibility checks on teacher assignments and room clashes before coordinators publish to staff.
Run a representative class through draft, review, and publish states before relying on the output for a reporting deadline. Check which role owns corrections after the result becomes visible to families.
Teachers open one hub for classes, lesson plans, materials, and substitute notes tied to the published timetable.
Validate credentials, permissions, and failure handling in a non-production environment before connecting live school records. Assign an owner for monitoring the handoff after launch.
Substitute assignments surface class context, materials, and period notes so coverage does not rely on hallway conversations.
Assign a workflow owner and test it with a representative staff account before the busy part of the term. Verify that approvals, coverage details, and sensitive fields remain within the intended role.
We'll show how this module fits your school's workflows and which teams benefit first.
