P16 Curriculum design

If your school has a Post 16 (sixth form), then this certainly adds a layer of complexity to the scheduling of your timetable. Therefore it is worth building in as much flexibility as practically possible. Although having said this, is it wise to build it in from the beginning? Flexibility can typically be gained by spreading blocks across a greater number of periods, putting lessons 'out of block', allowing (or not) certain staffing combinations if the students receive a double period. The impact of part timers, consortiums and feederations on the Post 16. By thinking through the possibilities in the Post 16 it might be possible to build in some flexibility. MIST Services works with many establishments each year and can offer guidance on the best way to implement your Post 16 curriculum. The implementation can differ from establishment to establishment and depend on your timetabling solution. Therefore many timetablers find a consultancy day concentrating on the P16 offerings very beneficial.
