The staff day, notices and useful resources

Give staff an optional home for the day’s notices, calendar, work summaries and trusted links, organised around the people who need them.

Area 1 of 7

WorkPane

Start the school day in one useful place

Bring the information and shortcuts relevant to your role into a familiar staff workspace, with clear routes back to the products that own the work.

School setup required

Ask about approved configuration before relying on live weather information.

Your starting point and shortcuts

Home brings permitted notices, shelves and school-selected apps together. Keep school-promoted launchers separate from your personal favourites; each destination retains its own licence, access and sign-in requirements.

See work and return to its owner

Read permitted work summaries from licensed source products, then open the owning app. Dismiss a summary or your personal list with Undo; this does not complete, edit or delete the source work.

Optional school-location weather

A school-configured weather view can show observation time and whether information is available. Live use needs an approved provider configuration; the feature does not use the staff member's device location.

WorkPane is included in the full six-app suite. Products remain independently usable; source permissions, freshness and availability still apply.

WorkPane

Publish notices people can act on

Give school notices a clear audience, useful timing and an appropriate review route, from the first draft to expiry.

Draft and review

Compose a titled notice with rich text, tags and priority. Where review is required, another permitted publisher approves it or returns it with a private note; authors cannot approve their own submission.

Choose audience and timing

Address current permitted school groups, roles or staff, then distinguish scheduled, current, expired and archived notices. Selecting an audience does not grant publishing authority.

Set consistent school rules

Authorised school owners set notice defaults, expiry limits and review or acknowledgement requirements. Readers can acknowledge notices where required, but acknowledgement is not evidence of understanding.

School publishing rules and permissions apply throughout. Private review notes remain with the author and permitted publishers.

WorkPane

Find the right notice, app or resource link

Give staff a clear route to useful information while leaving source documents and their access rules with the systems that own them.

Search what you can read

Search readable notices, groups, shelves and school app resources together. Personal and relationship shelf visibility remains enforced; this is not a search of private source-document contents.

Make links understandable

Use concise resource names and purpose cues for approved web or internal links. WorkPane keeps the link and its presentation, rather than document files, source access tokens or sharing grants.

Keep the catalogue reviewed

Maintain school launchers, policy links, owners and review dates. The review queue identifies records due for checking; a review date is not confirmation that the destination is currently available.

Maintain useful resources

Permitted managers can review resource information and reorder pins, with checks against conflicting edits. Catalogue-backed pins are maintained through Apps.

Keep a personal shelf

Store useful personal resource links privately by default. An administrator does not inherit access to the contents of a staff member's personal shelf.

Share with a current group

Use active group shelves with permitted membership changes, preview, confirmation and Undo. Removing WorkPane membership removes that shelf view; it does not change sharing in the source service.

Support a named staff relationship

A relationship shelf serves the two named people in an active staff relationship. Administrators can inspect its lifecycle information without inheriting the shelf's contents.

Arrange and retain context

Save your preferred order for shelves you can see. Archive or restore groups and end relationships while retaining history; ending a relationship removes its live shelf view without altering source documents.

A search result, launcher or shelf card does not grant destination access or change the source system's sharing permissions. Shelf ordering never grants access. WorkPane membership and source-document permissions remain separate.

Keep everyday classroom tools close

Reach the small tools that help a lesson run, arrange them for your day and show supported tools separately when that suits the classroom.

Use a practical toolbox

Choose random names or groups, a timer, stopwatch, notes, tasks, dice or classroom clock. Classroom lists, notes and tasks stay on the current device rather than becoming synced school records.

Put useful tools on Home

Choose up to four compact Quick widgets for Home. Your school and user preferences are saved separately from the device-local contents of the tools.

Arrange without relying on drag

Save personal tool ordering and Home layouts, within school-required widget rules. Use non-drag ordering controls where preferred; layout choices do not change where tool contents are stored.

Show a supported tool separately

Open a supported classroom tool in a separate presentation window. The window shows the tool's supported content; browser window controls depend on the device.

Lists and notes remain on the current device. Use the school's approved pupil-record system for shared records.

WorkPane

Plan around the school calendar

See the coming weeks in school context, with dated day changes and recurring activities kept distinct from optional connected appointments.

School setup required

Ask which calendar sources are configured and whether the DAS appointment connection is ready to activate for your school.

See a manageable calendar window

Browse a clear five-week view with bounded previous, current and next navigation. Unavailable information stays clearly labelled so staff can see the limits of the current view.

Use the right school day

Use school-local time, the standard day and retained dated exceptions. Shared school information and current source availability remain authoritative.

Plan a repeating activity

Configure bounded weekly series, exclude individual occurrences and reverse a cancellation. This does not promise live calendar-file imports or automatic reconciliation with a supplier calendar.

Discuss connected appointments

An optional DAS connection can show participant-only appointments without pupil identities or notes. Ask for a school-specific demonstration of appointments appearing, changing and being removed, including withdrawn access. Confirm checked setup and activation before use.

Connected appointments need the appropriate licences and permissions, a school-specific demonstration and confirmed activation. Calendar views do not automatically connect a supplier's calendar.

WorkPane

Prepare tutor and year-team work

Bring verified tutor context and the published programme together, while keeping source facts, staff judgement and access responsibilities distinct.

School setup required

Ask for a school-specific demonstration and checked setup before activating tutor connections or reward views; confirm availability of year-team options.

See the assigned tutor group

A verified assignment can bring source-labelled attendance and conduct into view, alongside HP Source's current period, scoring and reward context. Missing information stays unavailable; cumulative points do not become invented weekly totals.

Review advice and record a response

School-configured recommendations remain advisory and need school approval for how their records are retained. Record Handled, Snooze or dismissal with Undo without changing source facts. A new week or escalation may surface an item again; missing thresholds do not create a judgement.

Prepare the published programme

Publish ordered daily items with notes, links, recurrence and dated changes, following the current school calendar, A/B pattern and permissions.

Ask about year-team options

Ask about availability of a year workspace bringing an authorised programme together with mapped notices and readable shelves. A programme responsibility does not grant Bulletin publishing rights or shelf membership.

Connected tutor views need school configuration, verified assignment and available sources. Recommendations support staff judgement; they do not make professional decisions or act in source systems.

WorkPane

Keep the staff hub useful

Give authorised school owners a practical way to review shared information and recover a sound configuration without opening private staff content.

Review aggregate maintenance

Review notice lifecycle, app-catalogue checks, group review and configuration state, with bounded CSV export. Reports exclude private shelves, specialist pupil records and staff rankings.

Restore a checked configuration

Read safe summaries of earlier configurations and restore a validated version as a new version. History is retained rather than overwritten, giving the school a clearer record of what changed.

Restoring settings does not reactivate expired connections, credentials or approvals. Maintenance reports do not grant access to private shelf contents.
