ieAssessing the Timetable: Jim Lyons (2000)
• Does the timetable represent the educational philosophy of the school?
• Are subjects satisfactorily distributed through the timetable cycle?
• Are subjects treated fairly, by all having a fair distribution of lessons throughout the day?
• Are specialist rooms and other resources used to the best advantage?
• Is gender equity observed?

• Has movement been kept to a minimum?• Is the staff non-teaching time reasonably
spread?• Does the timetable facilitate curriculum
continuity for the following year – and the year after?
• Is the timetable presented as simply as possible?
• Are class timetables balanced and do all classes have a fair share of experienced staff?
