Key Features

Build schemes that ensure curriculum coverage and student progression.

Backwards Design

Start with your end goal — what students will make or achieve — then work backwards to plan each lesson.

Key Stage & AQA Topic Picker

Choose KS3, GCSE, or A-Level. Browse Core (3.1), Specialist (3.2), and Design (3.3) topics. Select which specification points each lesson covers.

Visual Timeline

See your entire scheme as a horizontal timeline. Click any lesson to add focus, topics, and details.

Custom Topics

Not everything is in the spec. Add your own custom topics for practical skills, project-specific knowledge, and more.

Lesson Plan Integration

Create a full lesson plan from any timeline lesson (pre-filled in Planner) or open a connected plan when you've already linked one. Two-way link between Scheme and Planner.

Scheme Library

Save schemes for different projects. Reload and adapt them year after year. Build your department's resource bank.

Example

Plan backwards from your end goal. The timeline shows each lesson as a card — add focus and AQA topics, then create or open linked lesson plans. One scheme, full curriculum visibility.
