Seating plans

Simple and quick to set up online in GO 4 Schools, seating plans are proven to impact on the learning of low to middle attaining students by supporting behaviour management and the tailoring of teaching to learner's needs.

And because GO 4 Schools is joined-up and real-time, staff automatically see the key information that matters in your school as it is today.

School improvement

The single most effective strategy to improve classroom behaviour is to have a good seating plan.

Support school strategy and save your staff time by making key information available to them online, in the context of their classrooms.

In the classroom

Help your teachers make informed decisions that have a direct impact on teaching planning and delivery.

Provide them with a 360° view, including key school and subject level data including progress, attendance, behaviour and support plans.

Efficient – Enter once, use and re-use

Support efficient classroom management with today's data.

I want to sit students with stronger Maths together for this strand of the course. How are they doing in that subject?
Do I need to seat any students apart because of behaviour interventions?
A new student has joined my group – I need to check their SEND status, etc, before deciding where to seat them
I'm a cover teacher – show student photos so I know who should sit where
I'm on a learning walk with an iPad. I want to check on a couple of focus students. Where are they sitting?
Printable on A3 or A4 – in colour or black and white – if you want a hardcopy you can annotate

Each student in a seating plan is displayed with your school's choice of key data, but also provides instant access to a more detailed view of data in GO 4 Schools in just one click.

Simple to set up

Define whole-school data sets to reflect your school's priorities, e.g. behaviour, academic, or attendance interventions, school focus groups, SEND, support plans, etc
Tailor the data shown by key stage, year group and subject to meet the needs of your progress and subject leaders to support curriculum delivery
Sensitive data is hidden by default to avoid accidental disclosure
Create rooms and a library of common room layouts centrally to save staff time
Create room layouts and datasets for special situations, e.g. exam numbers and student photos for exams, or Ofsted-based quality assurance data sets

Simple to maintain

Data pulled from other GO 4 Schools modules is always live and up to date
New starters and leavers are handled automatically, and there is no need to do any exporting and importing
Monitor the creation of seating plans to ensure you can get the most from learning walks
