use any copyright-free content from your existing planner
choose any number of pages from our extensive planner content library

You don’t need to worry about presentation – just bundle your ideas and send to us. Our design team will take care of the rest.

Once we receive your content, our design team will create your editions, ensure they are proofread, then send out to you to evaluate. This step usually takes two to three weeks during our summer peak, but is quicker earlier in the year.

You are welcome to develop the planner further before it goes to print, we do not charge extra for this. Production takes two to three weeks, including delivery to your school.

We print and bind in our Huntingdon production centre using high-quality materials that will last the full school year. Our standard papers are 80gsm and have been tested to ensure they hold ink well without blotting for most pen types. Covers are heavy card, laminated for durability to avoid moisture ingress from damp kit in schoolbags.

Outer covers are polypropylene, which is 100% recyclable and highly valued in the recycling process, along with the binding. In most places, the planner can be dropped into your household recycling. We recommend removing the spiral binding before recycling. For plastic coils, simply snip off one end and pull out from the other!

Please note that we can, for a small cost, offer recycled papers for your planners.

Our pricing is simple and straightforward. Cost is added per page you choose to include – there are no hidden extras. Full pricing is included in our free information pack, and our team will advise you if we have any promotions or early order discounts available to you.

Note that it does not cost extra to have more than one edition, e.g. for each Key Stage.
