Add a department
Go to Staff → Departments. Type a name (a short code is optional) and pick the head of department if you know it. A head who isn't in any department yet joins this one.

Add its staff
Open the department, tick people under Add staff, and press Add selected. Someone already in another department moves here — the list shows where each person is now.
You can also pick a department on a staff member's Edit page, or when adding new staff.

Add its subjects
Tick subjects under Add subjects — Physics, Chemistry and Biology under Science, for example.

Find people by department
The Staff list now has a Department column and a filter, including Not in a department to catch anyone left out.
Deleting a department keeps its people and subjects — they are simply no longer in a department.
