Built for small schools
Multigrade planning, without the multigrade workload.
Two — or more — curriculum years in one classroom. Pleanóir generates plans that keep every level moving together, so you can spend less time formatting and more time teaching.

The reality
You're not planning for one class. You're planning for several.
In a multigrade classroom, every subject has two or more sets of learning outcomes, different books, different pacing needs — and one teacher trying to keep the whole room learning together.
That usually means writing the same plan twice, adapting templates, or trying to squeeze two curriculums onto one page. It is slow, repetitive, and easy to miss where the levels can overlap.
A typical multigrade planning loop
- 1Pick the strand for the older class
- 2Rewrite the same strand for the younger class
- 3Try to find a shared theme or activity
- 4Format two sets of content into one document
- 5Check curriculum alignment for both levels
Pleanóir collapses that loop into one draft.
How it works
One setup. One plan. Every level covered.
Select your class levels
Add every year group you teach — 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, or any combination. Pleanóir keeps each level's curriculum expectations separate.
Add books for each level
Different textbooks for different years? No problem. Pleanóir paces each book and weaves the strands together so no level is left behind.
Generate one coherent plan
Your Cúntas Míosúil or fortnightly plan differentiates for each class level while highlighting shared themes and integrated learning opportunities.
Case study
From a few hours to about twenty minutes.
Composite 3rd / 4th class
Small multigrade school
Planning for two curriculum years in one classroom used to mean doing the work twice over — hours spent getting the wording right, the layout right, making sure everything was inspector-ready, all while trying to keep two class levels moving together without losing the thread.
With Pleanóir, that same planning dropped from a few hours to about twenty minutes. No more wrestling with formatting. No more second-guessing the wording. Just a plan that's inspector-ready from the first draft, built around what's actually happening in this particular classroom — so the time that used to go into getting it right now goes back into teaching.
What changed
- Curriculum-aligned content for every year group in the room
- Shared themes and cross-curricular links surfaced automatically
- Differentiation built in, not bolted on
- Inspector-ready formatting from the first draft
- Works for two, three or more levels in one class
This is a composite case study based on one-to-one demos with multigrade teachers. No individual teacher is named or identifiable.
Inside the plan
Two levels. One clear document.
A generated multigrade Cúntas Míosúil separates the learning outcomes for each class level while calling out where the strands overlap — shared themes, common methodologies, and integrated activities that keep the classroom running as one group.
- Clear 3rd-class and 4th-class strands side by side
- Shared SESE / Arts themes highlighted across levels
- Differentiation for support and extension built in
- PCF key competencies referenced for both year groups
