A single planning system that works the same way for every teacher
Teacher planners should reduce workload, not create another system to maintain. Used daily, they should reflect how your school actually operates and remove duplication rather than adding admin.
A teacher planner shapes how staff plan lessons, record assessment, reflect on practice and manage professional responsibilities across the year.
When it is designed as a shared system rather than a personal diary, it reduces duplication, improves consistency and supports real workload reduction. When it is not, it becomes optional and gets dropped.
Most teacher planners do not fail because teachers do not care. They fail because the planner is not built around how schools actually operate.
Pages are forced into layouts that do not match the school’s planning model or expectations.
Policies are copied out repeatedly or ignored entirely, creating extra admin rather than clarity.
Too much space is given to low-value tasks, and not enough where real planning happens.
Planners are used for a term, then dropped when they stop being useful.
Both approaches result in the same fully custom teacher planner. The difference is how much of the setup and decision-making you want to handle internally.
Best for schools that want clarity, reassurance and minimal internal workload.
This approach reduces risk and ensures the planner aligns with leadership expectations from the start
Best for schools that already know exactly what they want.
This approach offers speed and control for experienced teams.
Create a teacher planner that reflects how your school plans, assesses and supports professional practice across the year.
Lesson and forward planning
These pages support weekly and forward planning in a consistent format that reflects how teachers actually plan lessons across the year. They provide enough structure to support shared expectations, without forcing rigid formats or extra rewriting.
Marking Policies
These pages are designed around the school’s marking approach, embedding expectations clearly rather than relying on separate policy documents. They help keep marking focused and consistent, without adding additional paperwork.
Meeting Planning and Recording
These pages keep meeting notes, actions and follow-up in one structured place, rather than spread across diaries, notebooks and loose documents. They support continuity and accountability without increasing admin.
Professional Growth
These pages support appraisal, professional development and reflection across the year, without creating additional systems for staff to maintain. They bring development records into one consistent place that stays usable over time.
From durable bindings to professional finishes, every teacher planner is made to last. Choose the style that best fits your day-to-day use.

We have received our school planners and just wanted to say a big thank you. They looked great and the delivery time was outstanding. Thank you again for all your help.
The planners arrived and I have had a look at them properly this morning whilst my team gets them in year/tutor group sizes. They look absolutely brilliant, so much better than our previous ones.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Caillen who has simply been phenomenal.I look forward to working with SPC on delivering an excellent service to our academies.

We’re here to make things easy. Whether you’re ordering for the first time or coming back for a reprint, here’s what you might want to know.
It depends on which route you choose. With Xpress — our self-serve option — you control the build, so the process moves at your pace. Print and delivery once approved is typically 10–15 working days. With our fully managed service, we need to understand your school’s full academic year structure before we can design anything — term dates, planning cycles, key events, policies — because the planner is dated from the start of the academic year. The sooner you get in touch, the more time we have to get it right.
Your sample pack includes printed examples of common teacher planner layouts — weekly planning pages, marking record templates, meeting notes — alongside paper quality swatches and binding samples. You can feel the difference between coil, wiro, and square back bindings before committing.
Most schools include weekly lesson planning pages, a personal timetable, marking policy reference pages, meeting planning and record pages, and a CPD log. Schools with specific priorities — pastoral leads needing parent communication logs, heads of department needing tracking sheets — add those alongside the core structure. The content is entirely your choice; we’ll advise on page ordering and space allocation based on what you tell us about how your staff plan.
An off-the-shelf teacher planner uses a fixed layout designed for an individual teacher. A custom teacher planner is built around your school’s specific planning model — your marking policies, your meeting structures, your timetable format. Every page reflects how your school actually operates, which means staff use it consistently rather than abandoning it mid-year.
Yes. Most schools order a single core layout used by all staff, with optional variations for heads of department, pastoral leads, or SLT. Content, page order, and sections can all be adjusted by role without changing the print run significantly.
