Weekly planner

What it helps with

The weekly planner gives you a practical view of the week ahead. It is for turning resources into an actual teaching timetable: what you are teaching, when it happens, and what materials belong with each lesson.

On desktop, you get a full timetable grid. On mobile, the planner switches to a simpler day-by-day view so you can still check and adjust lessons on the move.

Add a lesson

1. 1Open Weekly Planner.
2. 2Use Add Lesson, click an empty time slot, or drag across the time you want.
3. 3Add a clear lesson title.
4. 4Choose or confirm the subject.
5. 5Add notes, timings, and a description if useful.
6. 6Attach saved resources such as lesson plans, worksheets, slides, or unit plans.
7. 7Save the lesson.

Move and adjust lessons

You can drag lessons to a different day or time, resize them if the duration changes, duplicate them when a lesson repeats, and delete them when plans change.

Changes appear straight away so planning feels quick. If something fails to save, Kuraplan will return the lesson to its previous state rather than silently losing it.

Use timetable templates

Templates are for your normal weekly pattern: Year 8 Monday period 2, Year 10 Tuesday period 4, form time, intervention, and so on. Once a template is active, its lessons appear as light placeholder blocks in your planner.

Click a placeholder when you are ready to turn it into a real planned lesson for that week. You can also skip a slot for one week if assembly, testing, trips, or cover disrupt the timetable.

Import a timetable

If you already have a timetable, you can import it into a template from an image or PDF. Screenshots, school portal exports, photos of printed timetables, and clear scans usually work best.

For best results, use a file where the text is readable and the days and times are visible. If the import misses lessons, try a clearer crop or a PDF export from your school system.

Share and print

Use Share to copy a read-only link to the selected week. This is useful for sharing plans with a colleague, mentor, teaching assistant, or cover supervisor.

Use Print when you want a paper copy of the week with days, times, and lesson blocks laid out clearly.
