Made in Ireland, for primary teachers

The planning tool for the 2026 primary curriculum.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Tick the Learning Outcomes for your class and the fortnightly plan writes itself. At the end of the month, so does your Cúntas Míosúil. Every outcome of the redeveloped 2026 curriculum is already in there.

30-day free trial. No card required.

Keep the planning approach you know

Your templates are fine. Pleanáil just removes the searching, copying and repeated writing, and you still decide what goes in the plan.

Pick your class. Tick the outcomes. Edit the suggestions. Export.

Four steps, on real screens from the app.

  1. 1

    Choose your class

    Class teacher, SET or multigrade. One plan can cover more than one class level.

  2. 2

    Select the Learning Outcomes

    Tick them straight from the curriculum. Search in plain words, and flip any outcome between English and Irish.

    Add or edit the suggestions

    Tap a curriculum-aware suggestion, edit it, or paste your own wording. What you type is saved to reuse next time.

  4. 4

    Export your plan

    Save it as a PDF or Word document. The same work builds your Cúntas Míosúil at the end of the month.

What teachers are saying

This planning tool has been a game changer for me. It was easy to use from the very beginning, and I can access it anywhere, on my phone, tablet or laptop. It has streamlined my planning, helped organise my thinking, and I genuinely believe it will cut my planning time by more than half.

Multigrade planning was always the hard part, one plan covering two class levels without writing everything twice. Pleanáil handles that properly. As principal I have the whole school's planning in one place, with the Cúntas Míosúil generated from the plans instead of another Sunday-night job.

Two things that save the most time

Your Cúntas Míosúil, built from what you taught

Work covered fills in from the plans you actually taught, fortnight by fortnight, class by class. Add your reflection, check it, and export to PDF or Word.

“Where short-term documentation has clearly outlined the learning and the Learning Experiences, it may also be used for the purpose of your Cuntas Míosúil.”

That is the Department's own guidance describing what Pleanáil does. A blank template cannot build your Cúntas from your plans. Pleanáil can, because your plans already live here.

The correct Learning Outcomes for September

September does not mean changing every subject at once. Tell Pleanáil which area your school is enacting, and it shows the correct 2026 Learning Outcomes while keeping the appropriate existing curriculum for everything else. Not decided yet? Start on your current curriculum and switch the area when your school does.

For principals

See your whole school plan its 2026 year, without collecting a single folder

The redeveloped curriculum makes 2026/27 the hardest planning year in a generation. Pleanáil turns a term of chasing paper into a live picture of your school you can open any morning.

A principal's view: the whole school's planning at a glance.

Your school at a glance

Every teacher's plans and every Cúntas Míosúil, complete or in progress, on one screen. No end-of-month chasing.

The whole-school plan, in every classroom

Set your enactment area and agreed sequences once. They flow into every teacher's long-term plan, so the whole-school curriculum plan is what the school actually teaches.

Inspection-ready, any day

The coherence an inspector reads for is there across the school in a click.

Your staff, set up in minutes

Add a teacher and they are planning against the right curriculum for their class instantly. A new colleague mid-year comes in at no extra cost.

Pleanáil is a way to see your school's planning come together and reach the colleague who is stuck, while every teacher's work stays their own.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use material from my existing plans?

Yes. Type or paste your own wording into any section and edit any suggestion. What you write is saved so it is offered again next time, and you can export any plan as PDF or Word.

Do I have to enter every subject from scratch?

No. The curriculum is already loaded: tick the Learning Outcomes for your class, and every section offers curriculum-aware suggestions for your level. Your own additions are saved and suggested again the next time.

Does the next fortnight get quicker?

Yes. Your long-term plan, saved suggestions and previous wording carry forward, so a new fortnight starts from what you have already built.

What if my school has not chosen its enactment area yet?

You can start now on your current curriculum. When your school decides, switch the affected area to the 2026 specification; everything else stays exactly as it is.

How long does the first plan take?

It depends on how much you customise: watch the two-minute demo and look at the four steps above. You tick outcomes, edit the suggestions, and your first setup carries forward to later plans.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. Every account starts with a free 30-day trial, no card needed: build three full fortnightly plans for your class (SET and multigrade included), generate a real Cúntas Míosúil from them, and set up long-term plans for your year. After the trial your plans stay safe and viewable, and it is €59/year to keep planning.

Is it built for the redeveloped curriculum?

From the ground up. All 641 Learning Outcomes across STEM, SEE, Arts, Wellbeing, Mathematics, English, Gaeilge and MFL are built in. The 1999 curriculum is there too, so you can plan from both during the phased transition and use whichever specs your school has adopted.
