Cover Designs
A well-designed cover can drive engagement, by making the planners more interesting and encouraging students to be proud of them.
Photography
Add photos of your buildings, students, or school events to your planner covers to show off your school spirit.
Illustrations

A custom planner gives every student a tool designed to maximise productivity and improve outcomes.

- Homework planning
- Goal setting and achievement

- Project planning and more
Include all daily and weekly processes on planning pages designed for your needs. Prompt students to record in a way that reduces stress and increases productivity.
Will our planners last the school year?
Our secondary student planners are made from materials that will survive constant use. We guarantee our coil binding to last the school year (barring intentional acts of destruction!).
- Crush, twist or bend – they always returning to their original shape
- Will not cut or tear the pages
- Works equally well with any number of pages
We also offer metal spiral, twin loop wiro, stitched and other binding types. However, coil binding is the choice we recommend in most cases.
To aid durability, covers are printed on heavy card and laminated on both sides. Clear poly covers also add a high degree of robustness to most binding types. These covers have rounded corners so that they will not damage other items in school bags!
How can student planners help ensure a safe and successful school year?
Our customised secondary student planners are the perfect place to keep important information, procedures and policies to ensure a safe and successful year. Use our topic-relevant library pages to ensure important information is always at hand for students, parents and teachers.
Ensure students have key curriculum content, whether at home or school. Include bound-in clear wallets, allowing printed policy pages to be swapped easily at short notice. No need to rip out pages.
How can I make homework diaries for my school?
Use our homework recording pages to create dedicated custom homework planners or diaries. We have a variety of designs in our library, which can be used as shown or amended to better fit your needs. Alternatively, we can create a new design for you. Include any of your daily or weekly processes.
A customised homework diary can be a powerful tool in supporting your school’s home-school communication and reinforcing your school systems.
