It is amazing to be able to suspend a year group who are out on a trip as it means their lessons don't need covering and staff who are teaching those lessons are freed for cover. However, it would be AMAZING if this could also be applied to parts of the day. For example suspend a year group for a select number of periods or between a time as we have lots of trips and fixtures that leave part way through the day.
I think this is an essential requirement - if you are suspending a year group or a couple of lessons you have to select each lesson within those periods - being able to suspend by either time or lesson period (the same as cover absence) would make it mush easier.
