Teaching Groups
Create and maintain appropriate classes.
Learners
Connect the correct learners to each group.
Staff
Assign appropriate teaching responsibility.
Subjects
Connect classes to the relevant subject.
Courses
Maintain appropriate course or pathway context.
Departments
Keep teaching structures connected to the wider school organisation.
Timetable
Use the class as part of scheduled teaching.
Attendance
Connect lesson registers to the relevant group. The class becomes part of the connected school structure rather than another standalone list of learners.
Subjects
Create and manage the school’s subject structure.
Courses
Maintain appropriate courses and pathways.
Departments
Group relevant teaching activity.
Classes
Connect teaching groups to the appropriate subject or course.
Staff
Keep teaching responsibility connected.
Learners
Maintain the appropriate learner membership.
Timetable
Use the same structure when scheduling lessons. This gives the timetable a meaningful academic context rather than treating it as a collection of unrelated calendar entries.
Class
Which teaching group is scheduled?
Staff
Who is teaching?
Learners
Which learners belong to the scheduled group?
Subject
What is being taught?
Room
Where is the lesson taking place?
Time
When does it happen?
Timetable Cycle
Which recurring or rotating timetable context applies?
Resources
What additional scheduled resources are required where enabled? The same timetable structure can then feed staff, learner, classroom and registration workflows.
Classes
See the teaching groups assigned to the member of staff.
Lessons
Understand the day’s scheduled activity.
Rooms
See where each lesson is due to take place.
Times
Keep lesson periods clear.
Registers
Move from the lesson into the relevant attendance workflow.
Cover
See appropriate changes where cover has been assigned.
Protected Time
Keep relevant timetable context distinguishable where enabled. The staff timetable connects naturally into the Teacher and Classroom Workspace.
Lessons
See scheduled learning.
Subjects
Understand the subject context.
Teaching Groups
Keep the relevant class clear.
Rooms
Show appropriate lesson locations.
Staff
Display suitable teaching information.
Changes
Reflect authorised timetable updates.
Learner Experience
Make appropriate timetable information available through the learner workspace. The learner timetable uses the connected learner record rather than requiring a separate schedule to be maintained manually.
Room
Identify the teaching space.
Class
Connect it to the scheduled group.
Staff
Maintain the teaching responsibility.
Time
Keep occupancy linked to the correct period.
Conflicts
Identify overlapping room allocations.
School Scope
Keep rooms and timetable records within the correct organisation. Room allocation helps coordinate school space. It does not independently determine that a room is safe, accessible or suitable for a particular activity. Relevant premises and operational records remain within School Operations.
Staff
Avoid scheduling the same member of staff into conflicting lessons.
Classes
Identify overlapping class allocations.
Rooms
Prevent known double-bookings.
Recurring Lessons
Consider repeating timetable entries.
Dated Events
Consider specific scheduled entries.
Rotating Weeks
Respect appropriate cycle-week context.
School Scope
Reject inappropriate cross-school timetable relationships. Conflict checks are based on the information recorded in EdiWay. A timetable without a detected conflict does not guarantee that every practical staffing, room or operational constraint has been considered.
Staff
Update the appropriate teaching responsibility.
Class
Keep the correct group attached.
Room
Change the scheduled space.
Time
Maintain the revised period.
Learner Timetable
Reflect the appropriate change.
Staff Timetable
Keep the current schedule visible.
Register
Connect attendance to the correct lesson context.
Cover
Use the dedicated cover workflow when staff absence requires replacement.
Scheduled Lesson
Identify what needs covering.
Staff Absence
Use the workforce record.
Available Context
Consider relevant staff scheduling information.
Cover Assignment
Record the authorised cover arrangement.
Timetable
Keep the replacement responsibility clear.
Register
Allow the appropriate authorised member of staff to manage the lesson workflow. Cover remains a management decision. The timetable does not automatically decide who should cover an absent colleague.
Class
Use the current teaching group.
Learners
Use the appropriate class membership.
Lesson
Connect attendance to the scheduled teaching period.
Staff
Allow the authorised member of staff to take the register.
Attendance Mark
Maintain the attendance record.
Changes
Keep subsequent authorised amendments auditable. This reduces the need to recreate learner lists every time a register is taken.
AM Register
Record morning attendance.
PM Register
Record afternoon attendance.
Lesson Registers
Take attendance within individual lessons.
Tutor Registers
Use the appropriate tutor or registration group.
Multiple Daily Registers
Support additional attendance points where configured. The detailed management of attendance codes, lateness, absence, parent notifications, persistent absence and attendance analysis belongs to the dedicated Attendance and Registration workflow.
Current Learners
Use appropriate active class membership.
Teaching Group
Keep the correct register context.
Timetable Entry
Connect the group to the scheduled lesson.
Staff Responsibility
Keep register access appropriately scoped.
Learner Record
Return attendance to the connected learner journey.
History
Preserve appropriate attendance records even when future class membership changes. Changing a learner’s class should not silently rewrite their historical attendance.
Option Blocks
Organise appropriate curriculum choices.
Learner Choices
Record supported learner or family selections.
Capacity
Consider available places.
Combination Rules
Apply configured required or incompatible choices.
Timetable Feasibility
Check relevant timetable clashes.
Teaching Groups
Generate appropriate option classes where supported.
Allocation
Keep confirmed learner allocation visible.
Utilisation
Provide factual information about enrolment and capacity. These workflows remain subject to configuration and runtime assurance and should not be presented as autonomous curriculum decision-making.
Class List
See the learners they currently teach.
Register
Record lesson attendance.
Resources
Use relevant teaching material.
Assignments
Set appropriate work.
Assessment
Record and review authorised academic evidence.
Classroom Information
See appropriate learner support information according to permissions.
Feedback
Keep learning evidence connected. The teacher should not need unrestricted access to the entire learner record simply because the learner appears on their timetable.
Learning Strategies
Approved classroom-useful support.
Reasonable Adjustments
Relevant agreed educational adjustments.
Communication Support
Practical strategies for the lesson.
Medical Alerts
Minimum necessary safety information.
Attendance Context
Appropriate information relevant to current teaching.
Support Staff
Relevant classroom support relationships. This does not give every teacher unrestricted access to full SEND, medical, wellbeing or safeguarding records.
Teachers
Access their classes and relevant teaching schedules.
Learners
See their appropriate timetable.
Parents and Carers
See suitable learner timetable information where enabled.
Timetable Managers
Manage authorised school timetable structures.
School Leaders
Access appropriate whole-school oversight.
Cover Managers
Use relevant staffing and timetable context.
Support Staff
Access schedules relevant to their assigned responsibilities.
Rooms
Use the school’s appropriate teaching spaces.
Maintenance
Known operational issues may affect room availability.
Trips
Off-site activities can affect the ordinary school day.
Events
School activity can create timetable changes.
Cover
Staff absence can change teaching responsibility.
Operations
Keep premises and safety evidence within its own canonical workflow. The timetable coordinates teaching use of school space. It does not replace premises management.
Conflict Review
Help identify scheduling issues.
Timetable Options
Assist with possible arrangements.
Utilisation Summaries
Organise factual class, staff or room information.
Change Preparation
Help understand the impact of proposed changes.
Administrative Summaries
Prepare working information for timetable managers. Any generated recommendation remains subject to human review.
EdiWay AI does not:
- Decide the school's curriculum
- Determine which teacher should teach a class
- Override staffing responsibilities
- Ignore timetable conflicts
- Decide learner placements
- Make attendance decisions
- Determine safeguarding risk from timetable or attendance patterns
- Replace timetable managers or school leadership
