Summary

Tes Timetable is school scheduling software for creating and adjusting timetables, including complex schedules. Schools can automate schedules or make manual allocations, identify teacher and room clashes, adapt to staffing changes, and assign student subject choices. It also supports customized working arrangements and supplementary timetables for student groups whose needs fall outside regular activities. Premium and Premium Plus include Choice, an online class-selection portal for students, and Daily, which provides temporary timetabling for staff absences, automated communications, and SMS and email notifications. Choice can handle elective prerequisites and multiple streams, using room and staffing data to balance lines. Tes says the product integrates with more than 70 systems, including Compass, Sentral, Arbor, and iSams. It is available on web and Windows, but the E10 desktop application requires a native 64-bit Windows 10 or later PC; macOS and virtual environments are not supported for E10. Pricing is on request, and a free demo is offered on the Australian product page.

Tes Timetable is aimed at schools that need to build complex schedules, manage student subject selections, or account for staffing and room constraints. Its Choice and Daily features may suit schools wanting class-selection and absence-cover workflows alongside timetabling.
