Every year I do up an easy to view one year calandar, for which I’ve uploaded the base template. Onto this I add in any extra days off for my school’s students which are marked in green. Then I mark in, especially for 6th years, their revision plan for 5th year work along with when they will be tested on their revision. Very handy tool!
