Our Services
Education Time is a specialist company offering full and flexible support for all aspects of the school timetabling process, from advice on curriculum planning to a complete construction of the school timetable.
Timetabling
Planning and curriculum design
Education-time works with schools and colleges to plan and design the curriculum that meets their needs. We begin by building an understanding of the exact requirements so that the basic approach to the timetable has the agreement of all parties. The curriculum design will result from a detailed discussion and of the aims, the resources and the priorities that the school or college have set.From this we will develop a curriculum plan that best meets these needs.
Creating the timetable, scheduling
Once we have agreement on the curriculum design we will then start the scheduling process. This is an exciting and challenging phase that generally throws up a number of issues that need to be resolved. We will therefore be in close contact to reach agreement on the finer details of scheduling. We will agree a completion date and stick to it.There will be the opportunity to reschedule parts of the timetable in the event of personnel changes or other factors.
Rewriting an existing timetable
Sometimes it is necessary to rewrite part of a timetable which is a challenge that we enjoy. The key is to decide precisely what needs to stay in place and where the flexibility exists. At Education-time we have found that this challenge normally presents itself during the course of the year as resources or personnel change.Emergency timetabling

The only guarantee we can give is that we will be able to identify where the problems are and provide a range of solutions to resolve them. The final decisions will always rest with you.Consultancy
