What Bell Path is
Bell Path is web-based software for creating school timetables with automatic timetable generation. It checks scheduling conflicts and lets schools account for teacher constraints, room constraints, and student groups. Plans are organized for pilot, founding, and standard schools, with standard pricing based on the highest applicable enrolment, class, or staff tier. Standard annual prices are A$679 a year for 0–100 students, 1349.00 AUD for 101–300, 2699.00 AUD for 301–450, and 3599.00 AUD for 451–600. The listed school limits also specify classes and staff for each tier. Pilot schools covering 1–5 schools receive a complimentary first year, followed by a listed A$1,000 a year for years two and three. Founding schools covering 6–20 are listed at A$1,000 a year annually, with no GST currently added. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
