3 DIFFERENT SIZE OPTIONS
We offer our personalised student planners in a choice of 3 different sizes to suit a whole range of uses. Our team of experts can help you decide which is the best choice for you.
Our original A5 student planner is the most popular size we offer and offers a good balance between portability and space. A5 planners are a good choice for most schools.
Also very popular is our pocket sized A6 student planner. 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.
We also offer a larger format B5 student planner. The B5 planner has more space for content and for diary entries, while still being small enough to easily fit in a book bag or backpack.
STUDENT PLANNER BINDING OPTIONS
Another important consideration for your student academic planners is the choice of binding. We offer 3 different options: spiral bound, toughbind (like a paperback book) and case bind (like a hardback book). Our experts can help you decide which is the best choice for your needs and budget.
A LIBRARY OF CONTENT TO EXPLORE
Over the years, we have learned exactly what schools tend to require in a student daily planner. We have therefore built up a huge library of content that can be easily added to our bespoke student planners. We’re also continually looking to add further options for schools through partnerships with providers of quality, curriculum relevant content (see our Study Skills and Student Wellbeing sections). One example is our ‘Restart a Heart’ content, designed to give students access to lifesaving first aid information – we can include this free of charge.
You are also free to create you own custom pages using our online design tool. This could be anything you’re your school wellbeing ethos, to uniform regulations – the choice is yours.
At Penstripe, our sole goal is to create the perfect School Planner, Diary or Journal to your requirements. Our expertise is on hand throughout the process to make a potentially stressful job a great deal more straight forward. We’ll support you in determining what options would be suitable for your needs, so you can create the perfect support tool for your students, staff and parents.

A HOMEWORK DIARY LAYOUT TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
There isn’t one student planner diary layout that suits everyone, so in collaboration with our customers we’ve developed multiple tailored diary designs with the specific needs of students, teachers and parents in mind. If that’s not quite enough we’ll can also help you design your own diary layout. Homework diaries for schools should be simple and clear, with enough features to make them consistently useful, without wasting space.
We’ve got eight styles to choose from, plus an option to design your own diary layout.
A COVER THAT TELLS YOUR STORY
It’s simple to create a bespoke cover using our online design tool MyPenstripe. Include photographs of your school, your logo and colours to create something unique to you. Many schools ask their students to design the cover, which makes for some very exciting results. Speak to our team for advice or to receive samples.
Each year we also design three covers which schools can use. This takes the stress out of designing your own and provides your planner with a vibrant cover for the academic year ahead.
