Building a weekly class timetable you can print for the wall

Whether it is a primary class timetable for the classroom wall or a secondary teacher's own teaching week, the Timetable Maker gets you from blank grid to clean printout in a minute or two.

How it was built

You paint the week like a spreadsheet you can colour in. Pick a subject and click cells to fill them; use the colour brush — one button, like a paint tool — to give each subject its own colour, so the finished timetable is readable at a glance. Quick-fill lets you fill or clear a whole day or period at once, and copy a day across to others.

Each cell can carry a room and a teacher as well as the subject, which you can show or hide. If your school runs a two-week timetable, switch on Week A / Week B and each week keeps its own grid. Everything saves automatically in your browser, and you can print to PDF for the wall or the planner.

How to use it well

  • Set your subject colours first with the colour brush, then paint — a consistent colour scheme (for example science always green) makes the week instantly legible.
  • Use quick-fill to lay down the fixed points first — assemblies, PE, PPA — then fill the gaps.
  • Turn on rooms and teachers only if you need them; hide them for a cleaner classroom display.
  • Use copy-day for repeating patterns, then tweak the exceptions.
  • Print to PDF at the end — the colours and any room/teacher labels come through.

Where your data lives

Everything you type stays in your browser. There is no account and no server-side database — class lists and saved work live in your browser's own storage on the device you are using. You can export a backup or clear everything at any time from the Classes page.
