Once you have had your programme approved and you are able to draw up a calendar of events for the year, it’s a good idea to send this to all staff. Use a document that’s easy for them to view, download and save, if they wish.

It’s important for planning that all teachers know in advance when students will be missing from their classes, so make sure that you also update the calendar used by the school/college to record all activity.

We recommend that you use this opportunity again to drum up support and enthusiasm with colleagues, so that they can help to remind students of events and deadlines.
