Building a yard duty roster

The roster comes from the timetable, balances across the term, and keeps a record you can show a staff member who asks.

Setting it up

01Define your duty areas and the break times each one covers.
02Set who is eligible. Education Support staff are only rostered automatically if you tick "Include in the automatic roster" for that person.
03Build the roster from your current timetable.
04Adjust anything by hand. Manual changes are kept and counted.

Total duties are spread across eligible staff over the term rather than the week.
Duty is kept off a teacher’s heaviest teaching days where the roster allows it.
A record for the school year shows each person’s supervision, so the balance carries forward instead of resetting.

Declare a wet day and the outdoor roster converts to indoor supervision on the same screen.

On the morning: add the absence, see who is free, choose cover, and publish the plan.
