Love these planners and accessories! As a secondary teacher I've found it so hard to find a planner appropriate and useful for my teaching timetable. The covers are beautiful and the quality is fantastic!As a food and hospitality teacher my planner often gets a flogging with flour, sugars and all sorts of liquids (mainly my coffee) and they always withstand my working environment- that's a planner designed for the real world of teaching!

I can't live without my 'All in One' planner from TFT. It is hard to find a planner that doesn't have butterflies and cheesy quotes on every second quote. My planner is simple and the perfect layout for me to add the fluff just the way I like it. This is my third TFT planner and I will never use anything else.

If you are thinking of buying a planner then look no further! The Functional Teacher planners are beautiful! They are made with the best quality materials. I have the disc system and it has been a game changer. I add what I want in the place I like it such as Meeting Notes and customise the planner to suit my needs. I will never change!
