BESPOKE STUDENT PLANNERS – THE CHOICE IS YOURS
With over 30 years experience in Student Planners, we’ve nailed the available options to ensure your student planners become firmly embedded in the student’s learning experience. Below is a simple 7 stage walk-through of just some of the options available. Of course, if you can’t see what you need here then get in touch and we’ll support you.
STANDARD A5 (148 x 210mm)
We offer our personalised student planners in a choice of different sizes to suit a whole range of uses. Our team of experts can help you decide which is the best choice for you.
The most popular size with space to write, record and read, our original A5 student planner offers a good balance between portability and space.
POCKET A6 (105 x 148mm)
Diminutive and portable like its name suggests, the pocket planner is small enough to fit in a pocket and is a favourite of sixth form and college students.
Its compact size allows for easy portability, yet provides adequate space to note down, record, and review.
We can also produce bespoke sized Student Planners.
In a world where one-size-fits-all is increasingly less effective, our bespoke student planners offer an innovative and personalised solution for your unique needs. We can work with you to identify and create the perfect student planners for your application. Each of our bespoke planners is thoughtfully designed, with specific sizes catering to different needs.

SPIRAL BOUND
Robust yet flexible, the most popular planner binding style.
CASE BOUND
Classic and distinctive, the premium option binding style.
TOUGH BOUND
The eco-friendly alternative, available in standard and A6 pocket sizes.
The binding of your students’ planners isn’t just about visual appeal—it plays a pivotal role in how these planners function and cater to the students’ diverse learning styles and needs. The choice of binding style can directly impact the students’ planning experience, aiding their organisational skills, time management, and even learning outcomes.
Usage & Durability: Consider the lifestyle and usage habits of your students. Will they be using the planner daily, carrying it between home and school, or leaving it mainly on their desks? For high-intensity use, the robust spiral bound or the eco-friendly tough bound options could be best. If you're seeking a more traditional planner, the elegant case bound option could be ideal.
Writing Comfort: The comfort of your students while using their planners is crucial. Spiral bound planners are known to lay flat more readily, which can be particularly beneficial for left-handed students or those who prefer to write without the interference of a spine. Case bound and tough bound planners provide a solid writing surface, ideal for quick notes on the go.
Style & Appearance: The aesthetics of the planners can also play a part in your students' engagement. A modern and casual look is offered by the spiral bound, while the case bound brings a classic, book-like elegance. The tough bound provides a minimalist and eco-friendly option.
Sustainability: If you're teaching the importance of environmental stewardship to your students, our tough bound planners, available in both standard and A6 pocket sizes, could be an ideal demonstration. These planners combine durability with a consciousness for the planet.
Choosing the right binding enhances the ease of use and their overall planning experience. Remember, as educators, we’re shaping not just their academic knowledge but also their organisational skills and habits. Our team of experts is always ready to assist you in selecting the most suitable planners for your class, harmonising their academic journey and personal learning styles.

The layout and design of the diary section can significantly impact a student’s ability to plan effectively and stay organised. By choosing a diary that fits your school’s unique characteristics and supports your students’ needs, you ensure that the planners are not just tools, but integral parts of their learning journey.
