[sims] Recommendations for a primary school wanting to do a timetable?

[Kellie]

Does anyone use or have any recommendations for a primary school wanting to potentially do a timetable? The school use SIMS as their MIS system.

Many Thanks

Nova-T6 in SIMS. You may want training in how to use it though (but this rings true of most timetabling related jobs).

Timetabler by Keith Johnson it will import to SIMS and may be more user friendly for the design process.

Would need a license - primary school won't have a license by default and I'd wager you'd have some fun.

Ideally wanted to stay away from Nova T6, it would be overkill for what the school requires and that would be fun and games to support!

Are the children changing class groups or just rooms?

Bit of everythingreally class groups, rooms, staff but at a basic level.

prime timetable is ideal for primary schools, I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else I think its £100 a year maybe.
