Start 30 days free

No card needed to start. You can sign up online with Stripe or talk to us first. The trial runs for 30 days on your own school data. We will remind you before it ends, and nothing is charged unless you choose to continue.

Start your 30-day free trial

Tell us your school name, department and contact email. Sign up online and add a card through Stripe, or chat/email us if you would rather start without payment details.

How the trial works

Set up once, then a proper month of use.

The trial is not a sandbox. It is your school, your classes and your schemes of work, so the decision at the end is based on real teaching.

Tell us about your school

Send your timetable export, term dates and the schemes of work your department already uses.

We set it up

Your classes, staff, rotations and calendar are built and reviewed with you before anyone signs in.

Use it for 30 days

Teachers plan their real weeks. Skips, shared classes and trackers all work exactly as they will after payment.

Decide

Continue and pay by invoice or card, or stop. If you stop, your data is exported to you and then removed.

Included in every plan

No add-ons, no per-teacher creep.

Both plans include everything below. The only difference is how many departments are covered.

Setup done for you

Timetable import, term dates, closures and rotations are configured before staff arrive.

Unlimited teachers

Price depends on how many departments are covered, never on how many staff use it.

All planning features

Skips, moves, notes, shared classes, specialisms, diary, calendar export and print.

Sign-in for staff

Passwordless sign-in by email link or Google, with owner, head of department and teacher roles.

Support that answers

Email support from the people who built it, plus a review point each term.

Your data stays yours

No pupil records are needed. Export at any time, and on cancellation we return and then delete it.

Billing questions

The bits business managers ask about.

What happens when the 30 days are up?

Planning is paused until payment is set up. Nothing is deleted. The owner sees a screen explaining the trial has ended, with a button to pay by card or request an invoice. As soon as payment clears, everyone carries on exactly where they left off.

Do we need a card to start the trial?

No. The trial starts when your school is set up, and no payment details are taken. You will get a reminder before day 30.

Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?

Yes. Schools can pay annually by invoice against a purchase order, which suits most finance offices. Card payment is available if you would rather set it up in a few minutes.

Who do we actually pay?

Owlnet handles sales, billing and support for Smart Planner, so your invoice and receipts come from Owlnet. Card payments are processed by Stripe, and card details never touch our servers.

Is VAT included in those prices?

Prices are shown excluding VAT, which is added on the invoice at the current rate.

Can we start with one department and add more later?

Yes, and most schools do. Departments can be added at any point, charged pro rata to your renewal date. Once you want more than five departments, the whole-school price works out cheaper and covers everything.

What if we cancel part way through a year?

You keep access until the end of the paid year. There is no automatic price rise on renewal without telling you first, and no long tie-in beyond the year you have paid for.

Does the whole-school price cover our whole trust?

No. Whole school means one school, with unlimited departments inside it. Each school in a trust is licensed separately. If several schools want it, get in touch and we will quote for them together.

Start with your own timetable.

Thirty days, your real classes, no card. Or click around the sample school first if you would rather see it working.
