Authority-wide annual wheel events one date — every school informed
The local authority sets shared dates — heads' meetings, joint theme weeks, council deadlines — once on the wheel. Every school in the authority sees them automatically next to the statutory deadlines. EVA (2020) finds local coordination is one of the strongest predictors that quality work actually lands.
One entry, every school
The date is entered once in the authority wheel — it shows up everywhere instantly.
Authority level
Events are owned by the authority and never overwrite a school's own local events.
Automatic propagation
When the authority adds or edits, every linked school sees the change immediately.
Visible to teachers
Teachers' wheel shows authority dates woven in with the school's own and the statutory deadlines.
Clear provenance
Each event is tagged with its source — statutory, authority or school — so no one is in doubt.
Edit centrally
Dates shift — the authority updates once, no need to email every school.
In the classroom
Borough heads' meeting
The date is set centrally — every head's wheel has the meeting straight away.
Joint theme week
Climate week across the borough — teachers plan with the dates visible from day one.
Authority reporting deadline
The authority adds its own deadlines next to the national ones — no mail-out required.
For the director of schools and for school leadership
Instead of emailing 22 schools about a new date, you set it once and every school sees it next to statutory deadlines. That matches DuFour's PLC principle of shared cadence: when the calendar is shared, the professional work can be shared.
- One entry replaces email to every school
- Clear provenance tag — does not overwrite school's own dates
- Versioning: edit or cancel without a mass mail
The school doesn't lose control of its own wheel. Authority dates are clearly tagged and cannot overwrite your own events — so your theme day and the authority's theme week can coexist without conflict.
- Clear provenance tag (authority/school/statutory)
- School's own events remain protected
- Read-only for school, edit access for authority
