Your timetable

Where to find your own week, why it can lag what the office just changed, and how to print it.

Sidebar → Classroom → Timetable → My timetable. Your own week: every lesson you teach, which class, and where — including any Saturday classes or online groups you teach.

What you can see

My timetable is yours. Timetable shows any of your classes' full week, which is useful when you are covering for a colleague or planning around another subject.

You will not see the Setup tab — that belongs to whoever builds the timetable.

Why yours may not match what the office just told you

The timetable you see is the last published version, not the one the office is currently working on.

That is deliberate. A timetable is a working draft for days while it is being built — half-finished, lessons moving around, classes not started yet. Showing that to teachers would be worse than showing nothing.

So if you have been told your Tuesday changed and it still looks the same here, the change is real but has not been published yet. The note at the top of My timetable says when the version you are looking at was published. Ask the office to publish; it takes them one click, and everything appears at once.

Today and online lessons

Today's teaching lists your lessons in time order, with the one in progress highlighted. An online or hybrid lesson shows Online instead of a room and a Join link to its meeting — the same link your students get. It also appears on your dashboard's Today card as Open meeting from 15 minutes before the start.

Free periods counts the lesson slots you are not teaching. Assembly, worship, breaks, prep and clubs are not counted.

Printing yours

Use Print my timetable at the top of My timetable. It prints on one A4 landscape sheet — days down the side, periods across the top — which is the format most schools already pin up in the staff room.

Your unavailability

If you are genuinely not available at certain times — a part-time contract, a standing commitment elsewhere — that belongs on your staff record, not in the timetable.

Sidebar → My personal record, or ask the office to add it. Once it is there, the timetable will not schedule you then, and the office's own capacity figures count only the periods you can actually teach.

This is worth doing properly. Unavailability the system does not know about gets discovered as a clash in week two.

What to do about a problem

A lesson is in the wrong place, or missing. Tell whoever manages the timetable. Teachers cannot edit it — not a permissions oversight, but because a single change can clash with another class, another teacher or a room, and the checks that catch that run where the whole picture is visible.

Your week looks too full. Say so early. The timetable's Setup checklist names teachers who have been given more periods than a week holds, and an overloaded allocation is much easier to fix before the term starts than after.

A period shows a block instead of a lesson — Assembly, worship, or similar. That period has been given over on that day for the whole school. It is not an error and there is nothing to fix.

A meeting link is missing or wrong. The office sets the link for each class and subject on the timetable. Tell them; once they change it, every online lesson of that subject updates.
