Where can I get a really good wall planner for DD starting GCSEs

I was hoping to get one which encourages her to balance her study time and leisure time and time for revision, rather than one that just has space for coursework due dates.

I dont know if one exsists but it should do Something that lets us parents see exactly how much effort they are putting into studying.

Does she have a school planner which could just be changed to incorporate leisure time too?

My DD uses her planner for school and revision planning really well - she is about to start GCSEs in September too. I would hope she would carry on that way and would think a wall planner on top, for her, would just be a lot of duplication and therefore a waste of effort. Be easier for her to incorporate leisure time into the planner TBH.

Using the planner also means the information is available to school, you and her.

Kez she does have a planner but its only a pocket size one. She does use it reasonably welland will put some social dates in. The problem is really the same as most wall planners, they have one small space for each day.

I wanted one which offers more than one space for each day. Something like this monthly planner might be better. Thank you both anyway

Why not make a bespoke one in Excel - or get her to design one in Excel - it is a really good skill to have

Prinnie, I think that's a great idea (was going to say excellent, until the hideous pun became apparent!).

She could customise it with photos or pictures that she's drawn herself (if you have a scanner), choose some interesting fonts ( dafont is good).

If you can't get to an A3 printer, perhaps a local print shop could print it out for you at a reasonable cost.
