We have created 6 new students each teaching year to mimic all tutor groups for all 6 houses giving an array of options for 6 students in GCSE and A-Level. Alongside to debug options and each class.
Using a custom Google Sheets formula students can 'subscribe' to a class by the classcode being entered on the side of their student timetable page. This also includes clashes.
Typical Year 10 Timetable with subscribed classes to the right
Year 12 student's timetable with Combined Sciences and Sports Studies with a class in Tuesday Period 2
When making teacher timetables manually, sometimes this duplication can occur. Thus seeing a class twice in the same period with two different teachers
Example where 08PE02 has two teachers
In Years 7-11 where there should be no free periods, if there is a free period there is a period missing.
For example, in this debugging scenario: Monday Period 4 is missing when Year 9s have no free periods
