Why schools use this planner

True constraint solving

OR-Tools CP-SAT finds feasible timetables under hard rules, then improves coverage—well beyond manual grid filling.

No double-booking by design

Teachers stay in one place per period. Second-language streams sync in parallel. Set weekly workload per assignment when you need exact period counts.

Class teacher awareness

Optional class teacher per form class—the solver respects early-period patterns for pastoral time where workloads allow.

Second-language groups

Flag subjects as second language so Hindi / French groups share a slot while ordinary lessons stay one-per-cell.

Optional verbal rules

Capture “no teach Friday”, “Math in the morning”, caps per day, gaps between repeats, preferred periods, and more—in text the parser turns into constraints.

Your data stays yours

Teachers are scheduling records only (no separate logins). Classes, subjects, assignments, and timetables are scoped to your account.

Flow Straightforward workflow

  1. Teachers — Names & designations you recognise.
  2. Subjects — Offerings; flag second-language if needed.
  3. Classrooms — Form classes; optional class teacher from your list.
  4. Assignments — Who teaches what where, plus workload.
  5. Generate — Hours, breaks, goals & rules → review the grid.

Solve Generation controls

  • School window & period length — Teaching bands around recess and lunch.
  • Optimisation modes — Maximise placement, minimise idle gaps, or blend goals.
  • Preflight checks — Impossible loads flagged before solving.
  • Saved runs — Re-open each generated timetable in a readable grid.
