Hi, I’m Mrs K, the creator behind The Pastoral Chemist. With over 10 years of experience as a secondary science teacher and Head of Year, I combine subject expertise in chemistry with a deep passion for pastoral care. Having taught across the UK, Ireland, and NI, I know firsthand the unique balance that teachers need to strike between curriculum delivery and student wellbeing. Here, I hope you’ll find thoughtfully designed teaching resources, pastoral tools and planners to support you.

Editable Teacher Planner - Teacher diary that can be edited specifically to your needs. See below for full contents.
After 5 years of being in teaching, I decided to put together my own planner to try and help me stay on track throughout the year. I normally buy a teacher planner, but I often don’t use half of it or run out of the sections I want. I decided to take inspiration from all the planners I have had over the years and put together just the parts I know I will use and have found invaluable over the past few years. It is tailored specifically for Secondary School Teacher but can be edited to suit your own key content!
