Curriculum Coverage Tracker
Coverage against the teaching time that is actually left, once everything that eats a lesson is subtracted.
Trips, assemblies, exams and events routinely remove around a tenth of the teaching year, which is how 44 available lessons meet 45 required — a one-lesson shortfall that is a decision in March and a problem in June.

Frequently asked
How much teaching time is actually lost in a year?
Enough to matter. Between exams, trips, assemblies, events and disruption, a tenth of timetabled lessons is a common figure, and schemes of work almost never account for it.
What should I cut if the course does not fit?
That is a judgement for a department rather than an individual, and it should be made deliberately and early. The worst outcome is the accidental cut, where the last topics get whatever time is left.
Is coverage the same as learning?
No. A topic taught in the final week has been covered and largely not learned. Coverage is a necessary condition and a poor proxy, which is worth remembering when the tracker turns green.
