Why SweetSeat
Your seating plan has more constraints than a randomiser can see.
SweetSeat brings classroom layout, student placement, behavioural considerations, groups and relationship preferences into one practical planning workflow.
Build the room you actually teach in
Use square, trapezoid and semicircle desks, room annotations, doors and flexible layouts instead of pretending every classroom is a grid.
Record what matters
Capture placement needs, behaviour spreading, working groups, near-door needs and student or teacher seating preferences.
Find and inspect a strong fit
Use automatic seating optimisation, then inspect exactly which priorities were met and which still need teacher review.
Real classrooms
Start with the room, not a template.
Build the room around the furniture your students will actually sit at.
- Square, trapezoid and semicircle desks
- Snapping, grouping, rotation and duplication
- Room text and image annotations
- Door position and room orientation
- Fast room-fit controls for different screens
Student needs
Tell SweetSeat what a useful seat looks like.
Add the needs and preferences you already consider when you build a class plan by hand.
- Front, back and near-door placement
- Behavioural spreading
- Working groups and partner preferences
- Strong teacher preferences kept separate
- Learning-support flags for teacher awareness
Understand the compromise
SweetSeat doesn't hide what could not be met.
A useful seating plan is not a magic 100% score. SweetSeat shows the fit clearly so the teacher can decide whether the compromise makes sense.

Privacy by design
Student information should stay under the teacher's control.
SweetSeat is a self-contained browser application. Class data is processed in the browser and autosaved locally, rather than being sent to a SweetSeat database.
- No SweetSeat student accounts
- No student data is accepted by the public Try Me demo
- The demo contains fictional students only
- Teacher controls saved/exported plan files
Teacher judgement stays in control
“SweetSeat helps organise the information you give it. It does not decide what is best for a student, and it does not replace professional judgement, support plans or school requirements.”
