What is Tes Timetable?
Tes Timetable is an algorithm-driven timetabling system created by the experts at Edval. It can explore up to 30,000 alternate timetables per second, taking the heavy lifting out of building even the most complex schedules.
Tes Timetable's intelligent approach means teacher wellbeing can be prioritised through better allocation of classes, accommodating flexible working, and getting rid of classroom clashes and unnecessary movement throughout the day.
The system can also improve outcomes by enabling more students to study their first-choice subjects, increasing satisfaction and engagement, while reducing costs through better use of internal and casual staff.
Recommended Usage
We recommend using the plaform for as long as required during timetable planning and construction. Typically this reduces workload from months to weeks or even days

 Set Up | For onboarding, schools can select one of two services. The Managed service provides a complete timetable migration from their old system with a handover session online. This takes approximately two weeks from when the data is received. The Standard service allows schools to import basic data and download a licensed timetable file. They then work through a self-paced online course to complete their timetable set up. Each new school has a dedicated timetable specialist to support them during their first year. Schools must complete the first training course before they commence onboarding. |
 Training | In PersonLive OnlineWebinarsDocumentationVideos Training is provided via online self-paced courses comprising of textual information, videos, directed exercises and interactive quizzes.

We have been using Edval Timetables for the past year and have already seen a positive impact on student satisfaction rates (eg. options success and fewer split classes) and staff wellbeing (eg. part time allocations, fewer split classes and improved rooming solutions).

Working with Edval this year has already saved us 0.75 FTE after just a small amount of time working with the software. Best from my perspective though is that is causing me to question how we timetable and the processes involved, the human impact and programming the data in the best way for all stakeholders.

Difficult to respond to some of the questions that relate to impact yet as only recently started to use Edval. I know there has been considerable positive improvements in the design of our new TT. Edval has also without doubt saved us money and helped us to make better use of our resources.
