Seating is a smart classroom management tool within Satchel One’s cloud MIS. It gives teachers the insights they need to create purposeful seating plans—backed by behaviour, inclusion, and attainment data. With easy drag-and-drop tools and seamless sharing, it saves time while helping every student get the support they need.
An effective seating plan is more than just desk placement—it’s a way to personalise the classroom experience. With Satchel One’s Seating app, teachers can view key student insights directly on the plan, including attainment and inclusion data, or Welfare Notes.
Welfare Notes let staff record essential information and attach key documents—like Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)—so teachers can make informed seating decisions and support each student’s unique needs during every lesson.
Seating has been really helpful, and has enabled teachers to think strategically about how they should be directing their questioning in a way that challenges all, especially in mixed ability groupings.Lymm High School
Teachers can generate, reuse, and share seating plans with ease—saving precious time in the classroom. Whether it’s planning ahead, covering for a colleague, or preparing for supply staff, Seating makes sure you're ready.
The system enables staff to access seating plans for all classes and assists with the smooth running of the school. It’s a fantastic addition to Satchel One running from the same cloud platform and l would highly recommend it.The King Edmund School
