The most popular size with space to write, record and read, our original A5 Student Planner offers a good balance between portability and space.

Diminutive and portable like its name suggests, the pocket planner is small enough to fit in a pocket and is a favourite of sixth form and college students.
Its compact size allows for easy portability, yet provides adequate space to note down, record, and review.
BESPOKE SIZES
In a world where one-size-fits-all is increasingly less effective, our bespoke student planners offer an innovative and personalised solution for your unique needs. We can work with you to identify and create the perfect student planners for your application. Each of our bespoke planners is thoughtfully designed, with specific sizes catering to different needs.

YEAR GROUP COVERS
By creating different planners for each year group, you provide students with a unique planning tool that grows with them, mirroring their academic journey and personal growth.

If you prefer a tried-and-true solution, our template diaries offer a classic and distinctive approach. With this option, you get a premium design that’s both practical and user-friendly.
ALTERNATIVES TO DIARY PAGES
Not every school uses a traditional week-to-view diary layout. We’ve created a number of simple alternatives to allow students to easily create their own note taking systems.
LEARNING SIGNALS
As an effective comprehension tool, learning signals can greatly enhance a student’s interaction with their planner. Popular for inclusion in A4 and A5 planners, these signals help students indicate comprehension and challenges in the classroom.
WALLETS
Incorporating storage wallets in the planners provides a convenient space for students to keep changeable information like timetables, notes, or permission slips. This feature ensures all essential documents are kept safe, organised, and readily accessible.
FURTHER OPTIONS
To maximise the utility of the planners, we offer a range of additional options. Pen loops ensure a pen is always at hand for quick notes; page markers help students quickly navigate to important sections; clip-in rulers and protractors turn the planner into a handy tool kit for various subjects.

Simple Artwork Process
Good customer service and excellent delivery of product from start to finish.
Lucy Massey, John Taylor Free School
I was super impressed with the initial call from George to introduce Penstripe. The speedy delivery of samples and information and how they would work with us gave me real confidence. We had been let down by a previous supplier and both George and Sarah provided guidance and solutions to ensure we would receive delivery of the planners before the end of the summer term.
Jas Mistry, Onslow St. Audrey's School
We have worked with Penstripe for a number of years and always get a quality product. Communication is clear and I was really impressed this year how quickly our teacher planners came, staff were really thrilled to get their planner before we broke up for the summer.
Lisa Hesketh, Co-op Academy Bebington
The experience we had with our previous supplier meant we had to find somebody new. To be honest, Penstripe was the only company I could find that met our needs. I was impressed that they supplied a list of schools who they supplied with diaries and I contacted several all of whom gave extremely positive feedback.
Hilary Simpson, St Catherine's College
I was able to create a good mix of our own content to suit our context as a middle school but also use existing Penstripe content to reduce time.
Mike Horton, Bredon Hill Academy
