Group Bookings for Classes

A group booking allows all teachers of a class to be booked in one go. This can be useful in various circumstances, for example:

  • Shared Class Teachers will both attend the same appointments
  • Primary schools often have classes where a main and support teacher are present, or there is simply more than one teacher teaching a class. 
  • Secondary schools may need their science teachers (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, etc) available to speak to parents at the same time under the general heading of "Science".
  • Senior leadership appointments may require the Head and Deputy Head to speak to a parent at the same time.

Note: to use the feature, you must:

  • Already have an evening set up.
  • Have classes imported onto the system. It won't work if you only use teacher departments to organise your evening.
  • Have all the teachers available at the times you want parents to be able to book. If any one of the shared teachers is not available (due to a break, starting earlier or later than the default times for the evening, or for any other reason) then no appointment can be booked for that class at that time.

How to set up Group Bookings

In your Parents' Evening System admin panel, go to Evenings > Go To Evening > Configure Evenings > Class Teachers.

  1. Find a class in the list then click the Change button at the end of the row,
  2. Select Change Teacher(s) and then Multiple Teachers to choose the teachers you need, then An Appointment with all teachers at the same time from the options underneath.
  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
  4. When your parents (or you, as an admin) make bookings they will see a column for that class with both teachers named on it.
