SitRep
Build the room you teach in
Create the reusable room first, then use its seats in class plans. Keep the layout recognisable across planning, teaching and print.
Start with a useful pattern
Create a room from an existing starting pattern and choose a personal default. Select classroom or hall dimensions and landscape or portrait orientation. An existing-room resize remains an unsaved change until every element fits the new bounds.
Place the furniture
Add, move, resize, duplicate and rotate tables, a board, door, teacher desk and restricted areas. Bounds and collision checks help keep the saved layout coherent. Furniture keeps the same proportions across the designer, seating plan, lesson view and PDF.
Personal or shared
Personal layouts retain their owner's control. Available school rooms can be used by permitted staff; editing them requires the separate room-settings permission. Shared use does not make every room freely editable.
Keep the earlier layout
Saving creates a new room version and preserves the old geometry. Plans do not silently adopt the new layout: review the proposed room change before saving their successor version.
The layout represents the furniture. Check physical access, support space and safety in the actual room; a drawing does not establish their suitability.

Prepare the class plan
Bring the permitted class and room together, keep alternative arrangements available and make the active plan a deliberate choice.
A roster you can place
Connected classes use authorised school directory references. Missing fields are not filled with invented values. Source and membership warnings identify changes that need attention; stale or unavailable information can block a new plan or lesson.
Drafts and an active plan
Keep named alternatives for the class. Copying makes a separate draft; explicitly activate the arrangement you intend to teach from. Only an active plan can start a lesson, and later changes do not rewrite the version used by an earlier lesson.
Explore with fictional names
For a demonstration, preview a manual list or CSV of fictional names. Review duplicates and ignored columns before confirming it. This trial route is not a general live-pupil import or MIS synchronisation service.
A lesson-only assignment does not grant school-wide class access. A saved class-plan list is not an authorised timetable.

Named arrangement
SitRep
Arrange pupils with teacher control
Move pupils directly or inspect an explainable starting arrangement. Keep fixed choices and unresolved requirements visible before saving.
Direct, reversible changes
Move or swap pupils by pointer, touch or keyboard, or return them to the unseated pool. Locks preserve fixed positions and deliberate gaps keep seats unused. Undo and redo step through local changes before a new version is saved.
Your planning cues
Apply a teacher-created planning colour that follows the pupil within this plan. It is a temporary planning cue, not a diagnosis or an automatic tag shared with DAS Board. Names-only output omits it.
Inspect the suggestion
Try an arrangement with its explanation and remaining conflicts. Consider near/apart, same/different table, position and LSA-space requirements. New pupil rules stay private or go for authorised review; approved rules can be shared within scope. Refused rules do not apply.
Review a change of room
Compare matching seats, pupils needing places and seating-rule conflicts before confirming another permitted room. Saving creates a new plan version rather than silently changing the original arrangement.
Suggestions never silently save. Optional grouping needs a school-approved field; missing values remain explicit and nothing is inferred from names. Check that proposed support space suits the pupil and room.
SitRep
Show the plan and teach the lesson
Choose the audience view, keep permitted guidance close and capture factual events as lesson drafts.
School setup required
Published DAS guidance needs a configured connection and current permissions. Confirm the available action catalogue during school setup.
The view for the audience
Use a names-only student view or the private teacher context, with room-fit presentation and zoom. Choose PDF content deliberately: deselected text and images are absent. Private overlays are omitted from names-only output; portraits must be authorised images supplied by the school directory.
Relevant classroom guidance
A configured, permission-checked DAS connection can show published classroom strategies with their source. Unavailable guidance stays explicit. Diagnostic and safeguarding rationale is not copied, and the connection does not guarantee that a strategy bank is populated.
A lesson draft you can correct
Start from the active plan's saved version. Record available positive or negative choices for one pupil or a deliberate selection, with short factual notes. Correct a review note or undo an eligible event or batch. These remain lesson-scoped drafts until review.
Keep useful actions close
Select and order available actions under personal or school palette policy. Labels, definitions and points remain read-only catalogue information. School-wide choices need the configuration permission. The available catalogue depends on the school's agreed setup.
An authorised colleague can use the plan as a teaching or cover view. SitRep does not allocate cover or replace statutory attendance, a markbook or safeguarding records.

Review the lesson and its seating context
Check the factual lesson record, preserve the approved version and use seating context as a prompt for professional reflection.
The current seating picture
Inspect permitted plans, neighbours, tablemates and valid relative room positions. Counts show their denominators; an unmarked feature or missing position is unavailable rather than zero. A plan list becomes a timetable only when authorised timetable data is supplied.
Patterns with their sample sizes
Look back over your latest 30 reviewed or copied lessons using their original layouts. Same-class pattern cards need five lessons across three days in each comparison and differences of at least 0.5 points per lesson and 25%. Sample sizes and missing records stay visible.
Check, then approve
Edit factual notes, remove mistakes and review the regenerated pupil summary. Approval preserves the exact checked event/category snapshot. Later catalogue changes do not rewrite it, and approval remains separate from successful delivery.
Return to the relevant record
Browse original room, plan and lesson history. Readiness reports identify plans affected by room updates, roster changes, source attention or unresolved constraints, with routes back to the work needing attention.
Recorded associations do not establish causation, diagnose a pupil or rank pupils or teachers. They do not automatically create seating rules or publish tags.

SitRep
Work with the access and information you need
Keep the permitted classroom task clear, and distinguish a source problem from a licence, permission or sign-in issue.
Access follows the responsibility
Class, pupil, plan, lesson, note and output views are filtered by current school and record scope. Plan management, lesson recording, review approval, export, seating-rule review and external duties are separate. Admin settings do not provide blanket pupil access.
A clear route to recovery
Stale or unavailable sources, licence/access failures and delivery states have distinct explanations. Secure sign-in recovery helps when a session needs renewed verification. An unavailable class source is not presented as an empty class or successful delivery.
Connected information and actions depend on current school configuration and permissions. Check the displayed state before using a plan or continuing a handoff.
