Lower primary timetable planning resources Kenya brings together practical checks for coordination across Grades 1 to 3. Use this collection when preparing a new school term or reviewing changes to the current timetable.
Start with confirmed school requirements
Review the three grades together when they share specialist staff. Maintain a shared resource record alongside readable class routines. A change in one grade should trigger a check of every other grade using that resource. Confirm current applicable curriculum guidance before approving lesson allocations. The guides below use school planning examples rather than prescribed national totals.

Prepare, check and approve
Start with the staffing and resource records. Check individual assignments and count learning-area coverage. Review class, teacher and room views together. A change involving a shared teacher must be checked against their other classes. Keep proposed decisions separate from approved changes.
File a dated master and distribute matching copies. If the school later changes an assignment, record the new version and notify affected staff. A clear approval trail helps everyone identify the routine currently in force.
