Some of our reviews:
Such a fantastic purchase. I would highly recommend this to any teacher. Very comprehensive and easy to edit to adapt your own class. Such a time saver. Thank you so much.
Ruth / Teacher
This bundle is a must for any teacher new or experienced with SET. The sample documents are filled with helpful prompts that guide planning and make life easier. I will continue to recommend teachingplans.ie to colleagues for the excellent products and prompt professional service. Thank you.
Ciara / Teacher
Excellent plans that are clear and detailed. A huge time saver and everything is editable. This is great as I was struggling on knowing where to begin with the paperwork and looking for ideas for what to teach. Thank you!
Aoife K. / Teacher
This is a super resource for anyone new to EAL or even if you have been teaching EAL for a while. They are structured, sequential in a spiral way which ensures all previous teaching is revised and worked on. These plans follow the Up and Away curriculum which is a recommended resource for teaching EAL. I was overwhelmed and unsure where to start with the children who have very little English. Now I have a road map, as it were, with the opportunity to take detours should I need to! Thanks teaachingplans.ie!!
Margaret / Teacher
I bought these plans because I was moving down to 1st class from 5th and wanted some extra ideas and peace of mind before school reopened. I was not disappointed. Clearly, a lot of time and effort went into both the long term and fortnightly plans included. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend.
John / Teacher
The ultimate set of long term plans for junior infant teachers. These plans are so thorough and detailed. They really take the stress out of planning for a junior infant class. They can be easily tweaked to suit your class. The long term English plan has actually enabled me to gain a better understanding of the new curriculum and how it should be used. This plan bundle will save you days sitting in front of the laptop. 10/10 from me. Thank you!
EibhlĂn / Teacher
A really great resource for anyone starting out with children who have no/very little English. I have been using these plans with some Ukrainian children who have just arrived in our school (first, third and fourth class). The plans are easy to follow, cover the Up and Away programme which we are using in school.
Fiona / Teacher
I think the resources are absolutely fantastic, really helped me out and saved me so much time in my planning- allowing me to focus more on enjoying everyday teaching! Thank you so much, DK
DK / Teacher
As a teacher entering the Infant classroom for the first time in many years, the one area I was apprehensive to plan for and teach was Aistear. However these plans are so detailed and comprehensive, they have saved me so much time and have taken the stress out of planning for Aistear. They really are money well spent and I highly recommend them. The seller clearly has spent a huge amount of time creating these plans.
Avril / Teacher
Cannot recommend these plans highly enough. They are thorough, detailed and extremely well laid out. They are also easy to adjust in order to suit your schools needs. Well done on great products!
Deirdre / Teacher
These plans have saved me so much time, and equally as important they have given me guidance and clarity when planning for a new area of teaching.
Aisling / Teacher
Excellent plans- It’s very clear that hours of work have gone into these plans. They are suitable for any JI class and could be adapted to suit SI too. I would highly recommend purchasing them.
Teacher S. / Teacher
Really detailed and relevant plans, incoporating COVID into the plans. These plans will be very beneficial to me and reduce my planning time once we are back. Thanks very much. I hope their will be more in October.
Anna L. / Teacher
All 4th class long term plans are excellent! They have saved me hours and hours of planning. Super handy to make changes on Word too based on your own school’s whole school plan. Life saver!
Aoife W / Teacher
I can’t quite believe how fortunate I was to come across this document. I teach the multiclasses 3rd-6th. I was feeling a little overwhelmed with implementing the New Primary Language Curriculum this year. This planning document has made all the difference and is very comprehensive. A sample is also included which is a helpful guide to filling in the template. It is exceptional!
Elizabeth / Teacher
Excellent notes. Very comprehensive. I would even go so far to say that they are over and above what is required. An excellent set of notes to guide you through September and beyond. You can edit and submit as you wish to suit your own room.
Catherine F. / Teacher
These plans are extremely comprehensive and detailed with a variety of options included within the purchase e.g. single 5th or 6th class LTP and multi-class 5th/6th LTP. These digital learning plans for primary school teachers have saved me hours of time and the suggested work activities for each fortnight within the long terms are practical, clear and appropriate for the class level. Your year is mapped out very clearly and because they are editable documents it allows you to easily alter the topics/activities if needed. I couldn’t recommend these plans enough! Well worth the investment!
Dawn C. / Teacher
I honestly cannot praise this vendor enough for the amazing quality of these fortnightly Irish primary school lesson plans. I’ve always taught senior classes and I didn’t know where to begin with lesson planning for 1st class. These fortnightly plans are going to make my life so much easier this year. They are so detailed, clearly laid out and also fully editable making them worth every cent. The amount of work that has gone into these plans is evident and I am so extremely grateful to the vendor for making them available. Thank you so much!!
Aoife M. / Teacher
Fantastic resource. This is a very comprehensive set of plans and easy to understand and alter. Thank you.
Gráinne M. / Teacher
Highly comprehensive, easy to follow plans. I would gladly recommend the work of this vendor. She is quick to reply to mails and very helpful in her communications back and forth.
Tara / Teacher
We often think of value in terms of cost but we should look at quality of what is being purchased. With these plans you get incredible quality and great value for money. This is my second purchase from this vendor. I am so grateful for them and the peace of mind that came with them. Thank you Claire!
Sculli / Teacher
I highly recommend these digital learning plans for primary school teachers. I bought them for 4th class last year and they were absolutely excellent! The quality was fantastic, easy to edit and make your own! I had been teaching 6th for seven years and was moved to fourth as I was expecting my first baby. The English and Gaeilge are in line with the new PLC 2019. I have been moved to fifth this year unexpectedly and the first thing I did was check if you had plans available for 5th! Thank you
Aoife Q. / Teacher
Absolutely fantastic resource! Having previously purchased the 3rd & 4th Class PLC Bundle I knew that I would not be disappointed. This product is so well researched and put together and easily adapted to suit your own class. I’d highly recommend this product, it’s well worth the money and will take the stress out of planning!
Sjmccor / Teacher
Fantastic resource, incredibly detailed I love how each plan can be altered to suit your chosen programme. Thank you!
Nora / Teacher
These plans are super and a wonderful help to me and my teaching. Thank you.
Roccat / Teacher
These plans are fantastic as I was at a loss as to how to plan for and also teaching ideas for my older EAL students. Very clear and I love that I can easily modify them if I need to. Great value and saved me a ton of time!
EM / Teacher
Super easy to use. You can tell the vendor has spent a lot of time on these plans. Amazing amount of detail and very easy to adjust to the books you are using in your own classroom. I also bought the Yearly Plans (separately) from the same vendor and decided to follow this up with the fortnightlies. I was THAT impressed! I highly recommend you purchase these. If you think about it, you’re saving yourself the stress of writing up new plans and affords you that time to focus on other issues I’m sure we’ll all have to address when we return to the classroom after COVID! Thanks Author!
Christopher L. / Teacher
A fantastic resource…incredibly detailed and excellent value. You’ve saved me a lot of time!! Highly recommended!!
James H. / Teacher
Super easy to use. You can tell the vendor has spent a lot of time on these plans. Amazing amount of detail and very easy to adjust to the books you are using in your own classroom. I also bought the Yearly Irish primary school lesson plans from the same vendor and will make Sept very comfortable. I usually make my own plans but I haven’t had 1st class in a long time and need the guidance. I look forward to putting these into practice!
Lawless C. / Teacher
This is an incredible resource. I teach the multiclasses 3rd-6th. I was feeling a little overwhelmed with implementing the New Primary Language Curriculum this year. This planning document has made all the difference and is very comprehensive. A sample is also included which is a helpful guide to filling in the template. What a tremendous amount of work inputted!
Elizabeth / Teacher
Hi there,
I’ve recently purchased your senior infants long term plan bundle and find them extremely helpful. i’m pretty slack when it comes to plans so these will save me a lot of time and are very thorough including all of the criteria necessary. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I look forward to receiving your timetable and Aistear plans as find this a little daunting (first time having senior infants) so any ideas/ themes/tips/ resources will be super helpful.
Suzy / Teacher
I had a quick look at SESE and seems very good with clear objectives and good content. I briefly looked at the English plan and it is a good guide for me to work from as I will add my own content to it. Thank you for your plans and all the hard work that was put into them.
Sarah W. / Teacher

Assisting Irish Primary School Teachers with Recorded Preparation for Teaching & Learning
 Primary school long term plans for September and short term plans for the year are essential requirements. However, knowing how to do them can be confusing, and they can take a huge amount of time, especially for new teachers or experienced teachers starting in a new role or setting.Â
Requirements for planning for primary school teachers have been in place since 1965. Rule 126 for National Schools states that Irish school teachers are required to prepare a detailed scheme of work in each subject, suited to the needs of their pupils. The National Induction Programme for Teachers (NIPT) has provided detailed guidance regarding layout and content for long term plans including templates, guidelines and examples. In addition to this, in 2015 when the Primary Language Curriculum was published, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) produced its own sample template for long term planning. New guidelines on Preparation for Teaching and Learning were published by the DoES during 2021 (you can read a summary of these guidelines in our blog post here).
This large volume of information and guidance has left many teachers confused about exactly what they need and how to do it. In addition to this, researching, formatting, and typing recorded preparation documents can require hundreds of hours of work and can easily become overwhelming. TeachingPlans.ie has been set up to help solve these problems!
We provide Irish Primary teachers with high quality sample written planning, planning templates, sample timetables, and other teaching resources in fully editable digital format which can quickly and easily be tailored to their own students and circumstances.
For class teachers, our long and short term subject plans will save countless hours as the content is already pre-populated, so instead of typing everything from scratch, you can simple edit what is there to suit. The sample plans provide suggested content for teachers who are new to a class level or for those who would like some new ideas, but you can quickly and easily change this to suit your own circumstances as desired.Â
Our planning templates for SET teachers will save you time as you won’t have to create your own templates from scratch and our sample completed plans will show you how to fill out the templates.Â
To provide additional help and support, we share guidance, hints, tips, and useful resources in our Irish teaching blog and on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We also have a large and ever expanding library of completely free resources.Â
In short, we have sample, editable long term written plans for all primary school class levels and resources for SET, EAL and autism class teachers, which have been created to save teachers time and stress. Sample fortnightly plans for all class levels are currently being created.
