The Problem

Many schools spend a great deal of time and effort creating Whole-School Plans, teacher plans and Cuntais Míosúla. These are often seen as necessary evils, taking up valuable time that could be spent on teaching and learning. With the ever-changing requirements of the new curriculum, it can be challenging to keep up.

All too often, the valuable information gleaned from this process accumulates in principals’ offices, piling up and becoming difficult to parse through, leaving individual teachers to feel frustrated and overwhelmed.

Our Solution

Our Primary Planning Tool addresses these problems by making planning easy and more intuitive for teachers. It provides seamless linkage with the Whole-School Plan, to Long and Short-term plans, to Cuntais Míosúil.

The tool removes the need for the paper trail, allowing for secure cloud storage of all your plans. As a result, teachers can spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on developing innovative and engaging lessons.

The Primary Planning Tool makes it easy to share plans with colleagues, so you can collaborate and get feedback at your convenience. With this solution, the planning process is streamlined and more efficient. As a result, teachers have more time to focus on what’s most important – teaching!

"As a staff we looked at trying to find a user-friendly tool to help create a standard template across the school. As there are different options, we approached Áine and her team and they offered us a month free trial.
It is such a wonderful tool and after the trial we signed up for the whole school. Fantastic for multigrade class. Not alone that but Áine was always a phone call away if an issue arose. We would strongly recommend Primary Planning Tool."

Yvonne, Teaching Principal, Co. Kilkenny

"I have been using the Primary Planning Tool for many years now and it has improved and grown every year. It has adapted to all the changes that were asked of it and it sports an excellent back up service and any issue that might arise is dealt with swiftly and efficiently with no fuss. As the curriculum changed, the PPT changed and adapted too with seamless efficiency. CJ Fallon have come on board now and for any school using their textbooks, PPT is the obvious choice. An excellent piece of curriculum software."

Anthony, 5th class teacher, Dublin

"As a multigrade teacher, planning can be overwhelming. However, since our school introduced The Primary Planning Tool this year, it has made planning easier. I find it easy to use and can manage all aspects of my planning in one place, from long-terms to Cuntais Míosúla. When using the PPT, the curriculum is at your fingertips enabling me to ensure I am covering all aspects of the curriculum across the three class groups. I have found that the programme makes whole-school planning incredibly straightforward as plans are easy to share and store in the digital library. The support I received in relation is excellent with any queries being answered efficiently and effectively. The Primary Planning Tool is an essential resource for the classroom!"

Aoife, JI - 1st Class Teacher, Kilkenny

"For many years I have struggled and failed to find templates etc. that made planning for my multigrade class manageable. Following a demonstration from the staff from the Primary Planning Tool I have implemented this tool in my classroom and haven't looked back. We look forward to rolling it out across all of our classrooms next year. It has saved huge amounts of time and also allows me to ensure that I am not omitting any element of the curriculum in my teaching. The level of support available from the staff at the PPT is second to none. This is a tool that I would not work without."

Ríona, Teaching Principal, Cork

"Our school was looking for a user friendly template for our teacher planning. Everyone was using different templates and there was no overall secure storage point for planning. After sitting down as a staff and watching the very comprehensive demo of the Primary Planning Tool everyone was in agreement that it would definitely be worth giving it a trial period in the school. The staff like that there was simple to use drop down menus and that the curriculum content was preloaded and ready to select for long/short term plans.
The teachers like how the long term plans feed into the short term plans and subsequently into the Cuntas Miosúil also. We would highly recommend the Primary Planning Tool to all schools regardless of size as we are a small multi class school and it works very well for us. We look forward to continuing to use the Primary Planning Tool in future years."

Catherine, Principal, Cork

"The Primary Planning Tool is the way forward for teachers. It has an amazing amount of information on it to help with short- and long-term planning along with generating a cúntas míosúil for each month too. All of the teachers in our school are benefiting from using it and find it very teacher friendly. Planning is an area of teaching that takes time but this Planning Tool is really helping us to plan efficiently and easily."

Lyndsey, 6th class teacher, Co. Louth
