One of my first tasks when I became Assistant Principal was to create the timetable. Nobody ‘teaches’ you how to do a timetable or what you need to think about when you do it, so for me, it was initially a steep learning curve on top of everything else I was trying to get my head around. I hope that this post and the resources below help you if you are taking on the challenge of timetabling for the first time.
