Teacher Planner 2026/27 - Cottage Design

The HeadteacherChat® Teacher Planner 2026/27, Cottage design, is a planner for teachers with weekly time-blocked diary spreads (8am–6pm) and five tabbed sections. Created by a teacher, for teachers, it follows the school calendar.

I was a school leader and a classroom teacher, and the HeadteacherChat® Teacher Planner is my notebook from when I was in that role. It's how I kept everything in one place instead of carrying it all in my head. Teaching is my passion, and this is what helped me do the job. I hope you enjoy it!
