[sims] Curriculum Plan question in Nova T6

[suebedo]

I have never used sub-bands previously although my new school does have one which I can sort of see how it works. My problem is as follows:

 

Girls are in bands V & W

Boys are in bands X & Y

Most subjects are taught separately (it's actually two schools that share resources but that is a bit of a red herring)

Some option blocks share some subjects so.......

Option Block A has some subjects that both boys and girls can study, some that only boys can study and some that only girls can study.

If I put the block over the 4 bands, all subjects are available for all students which is not strictly true. I would prefer a solution that allowed me to control which subjects are available.

If I put one block over the 4 bands with just the shared subjects and then created two blocks one for V & W (girls) and one for X & Y (boys), timetabled at the same time again it would work but when students are added to classes in SIMS Curriculum Assignment by Scheme, some students need to be left with no ticks as their ticks are added in another scheme - I can see a mistake waiting to happen with this solution.

 

Any ideas for the best solution to this issue please? Is it sub-bands?

 

Thanks
