Student timetables in bulk
In School >Timetable > Student Timetables > Printable Timetables you can download student timetables.
Select a year and school week that you would like to bulk download the timetables for. If your school works on 2-week cycles, this will automatically select more than one school week and this will output a timetable for each week, per student.
Select individual students, or a certain year group, registration form or another student group.
Select a layout option. Please note that the Grid Concise (Lessons Only), Grid (Horizontal Periods, Vertical Days), and Grid (Horizontal Days, Vertical Periods) options are only available if your school has set up Timetable Periods.
If you add a collation, this will separate out students in each year group, registration form or house.
Choose whether to include dates along the top and select which events to show. Please note: The Grid Concise (Lessons Only) layout option will only show lessons.
When you click the Download Printable Timetables button, you'll need to wait for the notification to pop up in the top right.
Click the notification to download the timetables.
This will download to your computer which you can then open.
The example below shows the Grid Concise (Lessons Only) layout option.
