Timetables

A week of lessons, built on one screen.

Lay out a class’s week from a pattern, adjust it by hand, then save the whole week at once.

An example pattern fills a whole week. Every period stays editable before the week is saved.

Adjusting the week

Move a lesson. The times follow.

Drag a period to a new place in its day and the timetable keeps itself in sequence.

  • Lengths are kept. A double period stays a double period wherever it lands. Start times re-flow from the first lesson of the day.

  • Copy a day across the week. Get Monday right, then copy it onto every other working day and change what differs.

  • Nothing saved until you say so. Edits stay on screen until you save the week, and the page shows when it differs from what is stored.

An example Monday: the double Mathematics period moves to the top, keeps its 80 minutes, and the other lessons shift to follow it.

Built from your subjects

Only the subjects the class takes.

The builder offers the subjects assigned to the class and section, so a timetable cannot drift from what the class studies.

  • Subjects first. A class with no subjects assigned is pointed to the subjects page before anything is generated.

  • Teachers kept when you rebuild. Generating again can reuse the teacher already scheduled for each subject that week.

  • Clear reasons when something is missing. A period needs a start and an end, must finish after it starts, and needs a subject unless it is a break. The page says which rows need attention.

Only the class’s own subjects are offered, and saving explains which periods are incomplete. An example week.

Class timetables

The sheet each class follows.

View any class’s week by class, section and term, then print it.

  • Only the days you open. Days in your weekend setting are left out, so a Saturday school shows Saturday and others do not.

  • Ready to print. Open a print preview of the week, ready to pin up in the classroom.

  • Straight into the builder. Open the same class in the builder when something changes.

Teacher timetables

Every teacher’s week, across every class.

A teacher’s timetable shows which class they are in for each period, wherever it is taught.

  • Teaching load at a glance. Periods are counted for each day, with the number of classes and subjects each teacher takes.

  • Free time is visible. Gaps between lessons appear as free time instead of making separate periods look back to back.

  • Their own week, straight away. A teacher who signs in sees their own timetable without choosing anything.

How class and teacher timetables fit together.

Still have a question?

Yes. Timetables follow your school’s weekend setting, so any day you open is part of the week.
