Successful Post‑16 Timetable Construction: tools, techniques and real solutions

Post-16 timetabling carries its own distinct challenges, balancing flexible pathways, collaborative arrangements, and limited teacher or accommodation resources against the need to keep choice genuinely open for students. Generic timetabling approaches don't always translate well to a post-16 context, and many leaders are managing these pressures with little opportunity to problem-solve alongside others facing the same issues. This workshop offers focused, practical input on the techniques and tools most relevant to post-16 delivery, with limited places allowing real engagement with each delegate's specific context. 

Delegates leave with practical solutions to their own post-16 timetabling challenges, developed through discussion with a small group of peers facing similar issues. For organisations, this means a post-16 offer that makes fuller use of available staffing and accommodation while keeping pathways and choice as flexible as possible for students.
