4/6 covered internally — 2 require external cover

AI has scored and matched all available teachers automatically

How the systems connect

Staff absence, school timetable, and teacher schedules work together — so AI always has the full picture.

School Timetable

The school's class timetable determines which lessons are affected when a teacher reports absence. The system automatically checks the day of the week and finds all affected periods.

Teacher Schedule

Each teacher's personal schedule is used to assess availability. If a teacher already has a lesson in the time slot, they cannot be cover. The system checks this automatically.

AI Cover Match

The AI algorithm scores all available teachers based on subject match, year group proximity, workload, and cover counter. The best candidate is suggested automatically for each lesson.
