Academic structure

Three small screens set the skeleton the rest of the platform hangs on: which year is current, how the school divides itself, and which subject teams exist inside each division.

Academic years

Each year has a start date, an end date, and a Current flag. Exactly one year is current, and that is the year new classes, courses and billing default to. Old years stay in place so results and invoices keep their context.

Divisions

Divisions are the school's top-level sections — Preschool, Lower Primary, Upper Primary, Upper School — each with a head and an explicit order. A division head's permissions are scoped to their division, and division is also a calendar and fee-structure scope.

Departments

Departments are subject teams inside a division — Science - Upper Primary, Languages - Upper School, ICT / Computer Department - Upper School — each with a head. Teachers belong to a department, which is how a subject lead gets a view of their own staff.
