The school calendar, without typing it out

Term dates, inset days, concerts, trips, picture day. It arrives as a flyer or a PDF screenshot and ends up on the fridge.

Why school dates get missed

They arrive in the least convenient format possible: a newsletter, a PDF attachment, a photo of a noticeboard in a class WhatsApp group. Each one holds a dozen dates spread across a term, and none of them are in a form your calendar can read.

One scan for the term

Photograph the sheet — or screenshot the PDF — and every dated line is pulled out at once: inset days, the concert, the trip, parents' evening, picture day. You see the list, uncheck anything that isn't yours, and save the rest together.

Dates printed without a time save as all-day events, which is usually what a school date is anyway.

Team schedules, club and camp timetables, and the reading-week calendar that goes home in the book bag.
