Class Timetable / Schedule
Blank weekly period grid.
A blank weekly period grid that lets teachers map out the full school week at a glance. Each row represents a time slot or lesson period, and each column covers a day of the week, so any subject, activity, or duty can be pencilled in exactly where it belongs. Ideal for homeroom teachers building a new term schedule, specialist teachers coordinating across classes, or supply teachers who need a quick visual overview of the day. The template prints cleanly on a single A4 or letter-size sheet and can be laminated for dry-erase reuse, pinned to a classroom wall, or tucked inside a teacher planner. Because it arrives completely blank, it adapts to any school timetable structure — from five equal 60-minute periods to split-time blocks and morning-circle slots.
Learning objectives
- Plan and visualise the full weekly teaching schedule in one view
- Communicate lesson times clearly to students and substitute teachers
- Coordinate shared spaces or specialist slots without conflicts
- Build a reusable term planner that can be updated each week
- Support students with autism or anxiety by displaying predictable daily routines
- Reduce transition confusion by posting the timetable where the whole class can see it

Classroom & home ideas
- Post a colour-coded master timetable at the front of the room so students always know what comes next.
- Give each student a mini printed copy to glue into the front of their homework diary.
- Use a laminated version in the staffroom to coordinate shared equipment or booking slots.
- Create a simplified version for students who benefit from visual schedules by adding picture symbols to each cell.
- Have older students fill in their own elective or university-style timetable as a self-management exercise.

Frequently asked questions
How many periods can I fit on the grid?
The blank grid is designed with enough rows for up to ten time slots per day, covering a full primary or secondary school day. You can write smaller to fit more, or print two copies side by side for a fortnight cycle.
Can I use this for a rotating or A/B schedule?
Yes. Simply label the column headers Day A / Day B (or Week 1 / Week 2) instead of Monday through Friday, then fill in the periods as usual.
Is there an editable digital version?
The download includes a fillable PDF so you can type directly into each cell before printing, saving you time if your schedule changes frequently.
Can parents use this template too?
Absolutely. Parents homeschooling or running an afterschool routine often use this grid to plan subject blocks, extracurricular slots, and independent reading time across the week.
