Making a ‘tweak’ was never an option

• Interdependency of departments, people and activities

• Small changes were never going to conquer the big challenges

optimised?

Which activities are most popular?

Are students taking advantage of the options available?

Are students turning up?

Are they safe?

Are more staff required to supervise extra-curricular?

SAM HART, HEAD OF SPORT, WINCHESTER COLLEGE

“CHQ allows a complex programme to be pulled together with ease, allocating different year groups to different times or locations.

“The ability to generate attendance registers for the Master in Charge of a session is first rate, and the feedback to the House Dons has ensured that participation rates in sport have never been higher.

“House Dons are taking sport seriously and boys now know they’re being monitored for the first time. CHQ is proving to be an real asset.”
