This free teacher planner for 2026–27 gives you 14 Word documents on A4 and US Letter: a complete planner, and each part on its own: a year at a glance, monthly calendars, a weekly planner, a class list, a parent contact log and meeting notes. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. I set up a new planner every September, so I built this one in Word with equal rows, the right week start for each country and every part as its own file.

In this guide, you’ll find what each page is for, how the A4 and US Letter versions differ, and how to set the planner up before the first day of term.

How to Set Up Your Teacher Planner

1. Choose A4 or US Letter: each has the right months and week start for that school year.
2. Type your name, school, class and room on the cover.
3. Add term dates and events to the year at a glance and the monthly calendars.
4. Type your timetable into the weekly planner once, save a copy, then print one for each week.

Print the complete planner double-sided and put it in a ring binder, so you can add more weekly pages through the year. Keep the contact log and class list private: they hold personal information about learners and families.
