How important is your school timetable to you?

Your school timetable steers the lives of EVERY child and EVERY colleague in your school for the whole school year. It not only directs the learning curriculum but massively impacts your school's routine, behaviours and, ultimately, pupil outcomes. Yet so many schools don't invest in the time and training to deliver a high-quality timetable or rely heavily on software-driven solutions to complete the puzzle.  Often, school leaders have too many other competing priorities in the last couple of months of the school year. Many schools are turning to companies like DL Education to outsource their timetable. 

Working with schools from the Lake District to Brighton to UAE and Hong Kong, DL Education is a leading player in the school timetabling scene. We have regular and repeat customers, but also work with new schools every year (including re-writes in September and for Christmas!) Having over 20 years experience in writing complex timetables (from tiny schools where almost all staff are part time and work in other schools on certain days to colleges with 3000 pupils, we can deliver your timetable on time and to a very high quality.

Outsourcing Your Timetable

DL Education understands the uncertainty Heads might feel about choosing to outsource the school timetable by handing it over to an external party. That said, we are yet to meet a school leader who has found the solution to be worse than they imagined! After meeting to discuss your requirements, we receive your staffing requests and carry out rapid feasibility checks and timetable blocking patterns then ensure regular contact with a designated senior leader to help you to understand any issues along the way. Timescales are clearly mapped out and adhered to. This should help you feel reassured about the process and it ensures minimal follow-up changes later on. We also work with a range of software solutions.
