Built for one job: the absence nobody planned for
The scramble
- Search a resource library for something close enough
- Stitch together worksheets from different sources
- Write notes for a cover teacher late in the evening
- Hope the answers are right and the timings work
With CoverReady
- Choose year group, subject, length and objective
- Get one pack where the plan, worksheet and answers match
- Cover notes are already written
- Edit what you want, then print
Cover lessons, ready before the bell.
Not a resource library, and not a full planning tool. One pack for one absence, for teachers who would rather be anywhere else at 6am than building worksheets.
Questions teachers ask
Which year groups and subjects are covered?
Years 3 to 6, in English and maths.
Can I change the pack before printing?
Yes. Objectives, plan, worksheet and answers can all be reviewed and edited before you print.
How long can the lesson be?
You choose 30, 45 or 60 minutes and the timed plan is built to fit.
What does the cover teacher get?
A timed plan, pupil instructions, a printable worksheet, answers and marking notes, and practical notes for running the lesson.
Is it a library of resources?
No. You describe the absence and get one complete pack, rather than searching through thousands of files.
