Children’s after school programmes include a brand new set of sports packages for birthday parties. Local schools enjoy term-time after school programmes with multi-sports packages for Key Stage 1 and 2 on selected sites across the region.
TLE were preparing for May half-term Active Camps and needed the platform to manage bookings, produce registers and timetables and assign them to educators. They were creating bookings through the platform but were using Excel to create paper registers for the staff to sign participants in and out. Paper registers reduced their capacity to use safeguarding pins to ensure camp security for children, parents, and guardians.
Having been introduced to the platform, they wanted to maximise their use of its features. Exploring the platform further, TLE also wanted to automate tasks, reducing time spent confirming activity programmes by phone.
To prepare for their camps, they moved their registers to Coordinate Sport, dropping paper registers altogether. Saving time on planning procedures prior to the May camps, educators were able to use iPads to sign participants in and out. Using online registers through the platform meant that educators could use safeguarding pins, creating their most secure camps yet.
After the camps ended, they began testing Coordinate Sport’s extensive contract settings that would allow them to link contracts to an educator’s timetable, to automate staffing changes.
Maximising the use of the platform now may half-term camps are over is their primary focus. The team will now be looking closely at email automation for their timetables to reduce the time spent providing updated staffing changes to schools by phone.
