The 26/27 HeadteacherChat Planner
An A4 hardback academic-year planner built for headteachers and senior leaders — meetings, follow-ups, decisions and key dates in one place. Designed by a former Headteacher who got tired of stitching three notebooks together.
What's inside
Weekly planning, meetings, key dates, leadership prompts, decisions and follow-ups — in one calm place that holds the work of headship.

Structured templates for SLT, line management and governor meetings — with next-step space built in.

One running place for the small commitments that matter — what was agreed, with whom, and by when.

Half-term and end-of-term review pages so the year doesn't blur into one long Tuesday.

The 26/27 planner
An A4 hardback academic-year planner designed around the real rhythm of school life — weekly planning, meeting notes, leadership prompts, key dates and follow-ups all in one place.
School weeks do not run like ordinary weeks. This planner is built around the meetings, deadlines, follow-ups and decisions that shape the academic year.
Lucy was a school leader in Norfolk for over a decade before designing the first HeadteacherChat planner, because nothing on the market was actually built for the job! Five years and 9,046 customers later, the planners sell out every year.
Nothing on the market was built around how school leaders actually work.
