What Griddle is
Griddle is cloud software for school timetabling and daily organisation. Its tools check school data, report issues, and support automated timetable building alongside manual changes; the engine can produce solutions within two hours. AI line generation builds class combinations around school constraints and teacher and room requirements. Schools can use online course selection forms that apply curriculum rules and allow individual student exceptions. Flexible student groups, automatic enrolments, and class list changes are supported, with list updates reflected in student timetables. One Griddle setup can coordinate shared staff, spaces, students, and cross-campus classes. It supports multiple period structures, including overlapping periods and teacher break rules across structures. Daily Organisation covers changes such as teacher absences and events. Events created in Compass appear automatically in Griddle, and exam schedules can be published to Compass; Griddle Exams can also create extra sittings for special considerations. Multiple users can work on the same data at once, with roles and permissions to limit access to specific areas.
