A planner is only worth using if it survives contact with a real term. These three commitments are what the system is built to hold: plans that are shared, evidence that arrives early enough to act on, and permissions that live in the database rather than in the interface.
Two teachers can build the same scheme of work without emailing versions back and forth. Plans cite curriculum standards by code, carry their own resources, and move through draft → submitted → approved with the decision recorded against a name.
Standards-based mastery per learner, per subject, over time, with attendance beside attainment because the two explain each other more often than either explains itself. A slide shows as a slope rather than a surprise at reporting time.
Row-level security on every table, four roles with a genuine ceiling, and an append-only audit trail with no update or delete path. A hidden button is not a control; a policy is. Records cannot be quietly rewritten.
Four roles, each with a real ceiling. The scope column is enforced by Postgres row-level security policies, not by hiding a button — a teacher requesting another grade's learners receives no rows, whatever the interface shows.
Only a platform owner can change who holds which role, and that change is itself written to the audit log.

“Train up a child in the way that he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Every teaching member of staff gets an account scoped to their own classes. Heads of department and academic officers get approval and oversight rights. Speak to the school office to be set up, or book a walkthrough for your department.
