Why terms matter

Term dates shape the planning weeks available to the timetable and keep date-based work aligned with the school year. Add the term structure before building long-running allocations.

Editing guidance

  • Correct term dates before adding large numbers of term-wide allocations.
  • Avoid overlapping terms.
  • Confirm pupil-free days and holidays with the school’s chosen planning convention; SupportWise records the configured date boundaries but the appropriate local convention is a school decision.
  • After changing dates, review timetable weeks that sit near the old boundary.
