Department Timetable planner
This spreadsheet is for any teacher that needs a department timetable. Colour coding, capacity and loading calculations, and lesson numbers are all tracked automatically. It counts lessons by set, year group and subjects within a department and has space for 15 members of staff. Instructions and an example are included. The other two files in the download are example images and can be deleted.
It is easy to:
1) generate individual timetables for staff accounting for TLR, ppa, mentoring, NQT and other types of non-teaching lessons (see image)
2) adjust timetables mid-year as staffing changes
3) see any missed classes or double-staffed classes
4) adjust patterns through the use of colour.
Hopefully very easy to use - I created it and have found it invaluable as a Head of Department. All suggestions for improvements are very welcome. I also have another version that tracks rooms and can add more staff spaces if requested.

Excel Prep-Req sheet
Science practical ordering and tracking through Excel. No online sign up, no writing your classes each week or printing them off, no more lost paper or crossing out, and no more practicals going out twice or not being collected. Just a simple, well-designed prep sheet for Science departments everywhere. Please see the images for more information and help notes are included in the file.
This spreadsheet has a named tab for each member of staff where they enter their timetable and requests. This version caters for up to 12 staff, 5 working days and up to 6 periods per day - tell me if your needs are different. Once class names, rooms and sizes have been entered, the master can be kept safely and a copy made available for each week until the technician deadline.
Features include:
1. Resource tracking: know whether a practical is being prepared or ready to go, preventing duplication.
2. Risk assessment: flag unusual practicals and confirm staff have risk assessed each one.
3. Weekly summaries: printable documents for technicians and HoDs.
4. At home access: make the spreadsheet available online. HoD overview of the week ahead.
5. Copy and paste this standard format to create a school practical bank.
The aim is for ease of use with as few formulae and complexities as possible - it has worked in my schools so far!
I hope it is useful for you and if it is please leave a positive review below to help others find it.

Behaviour Planning Word
A prompt sheet to help teachers new and old to think about how they deal with common classroom situations. A place to jot down proactive, reactive and next step thoughts for a variety of different potential issues.
Probably most useful for teacher training and NQT years to evaluate current strategies and whether they work well.
This is the editable Word version. There is also a PDF version available for a lower price.
