What is Tes Timetable?

Tes Timetable is an algorithm-driven timetabling system created by the experts at Edval. It can explore up to 30,000 alternate timetables per second, taking the heavy lifting out of building even the most complex schedules.

Tes Timetable's intelligent approach means teacher wellbeing can be prioritised through better allocation of classes, accommodating flexible working, and getting rid of classroom clashes and unnecessary movement throughout the day.

The system can also improve outcomes by enabling more students to study their first-choice subjects, increasing satisfaction and engagement, while reducing costs through better use of internal and casual staff.

Recommended Usage

We recommend using the plaform for as long as required during timetable planning and construction. Typically this reduces workload from months to weeks or even days

Set Up

For onboarding, schools can select one of two services.

The Managed service provides a complete timetable migration from their old system with a handover session online. This takes approximately two weeks from when the data is received.

The Standard service allows schools to import basic data and download a licensed timetable file. They then work through a self-paced online course to complete their timetable set up.

Each new school has a dedicated timetable specialist to support them during their first year. Schools must complete the first training course before they commence onboarding.
