Because life is too short to be copying the same thing out every week
We do planners. Bespoke plannners that save you writing your timetable out for
every single teaching week.
We do other stuff too. A growing library of free resources, because we are nice people,
and because our business depends on teachers coming here.
Isn't there a better way? Can't we have the reassuring presence of a physical planner
without the hassle of endlessly filling in the days and dates, rewriting our own
timetable out again every week?
What makes our planners special?
The heart of the bespoke teacher planner are the diary pages. They are
laid out with your school's structure, your lessons already filled in.
The dates filled in. Even the rooms filled in, which is useful if you
teach all over the place.
You can choose between a day to a page, or a week to a double spread.

Another important feature of the bespoke planner is the numbered note
pages - a few at the beginning to use as a contents page, and lots at
the end for writing things down. It's a flexible space. We're big fans of
Bullet Journals, which is why the
pages have dots. Follow the link to find out what that's about if
you don't know.
There are also sheets for class marks, because it isn't always
convenient to type them into a spreadsheet. These pages have alternately
shaded rows to make them easier to use. There are as many marksheets as
you have classes (and two to spare), each with as many as many rows
as you need. Bespoke.
Finally, or firstly in terms of where it is in the planner, on page 1
is the teacher's timetable. The planner is in black and white, but you
can colour the timetable in.
Ordering
We want to sell planners to schools because we want to make a bigger difference,
and because there's more money in it. We also sell planners to individual
teachers, but the whole school order works out much cheaper. Buying as an individual
does give you more control of your planner, you can call your classes by nicknames,
put an inspirational quote or a picture of your daughter's football team on the cover,
whatever.
If you are the first teacher in your school to order a planner from us,
you can get it for free!
But you do have to promise to show it to your colleagues and make them jealous so
hopefully next year your school orders a whole batch of planners.
