🗓️ Monthly View with Month and Year dropdowns – inspection names under each date, with a “1 more…” note on double-booked days.
📋 Daily View by date range – list every inspection between any Start Date and End Date with time, location and description.
🏫 One Events tab feeds everything – seven columns (ID, Date, Day, Event Name, Time, Location, Description), and every view updates as you type.
🔍 Sample data written for schools – Compliance Follow-Up Review, School Transport Fitness Check, Fire Safety & Evacuation Drill, CCTV & Gate Security Review and Canteen & Kitchen Hygiene Inspection, among 19 fictional types.
🔗 Click-through navigation – four Home buttons and a “Back” link on every tab.
📦 What’s Inside the School Inspection Calendar
Home
A simple menu with four buttons – Annual View, Monthly View, Daily View and Events – under the calendar title.
Annual View
Twelve month grids for the year in the Year box. Shaded days hold a scheduled inspection, so a principal can see the rhythm of the whole school year at once.
Monthly View
Choose a Month and Year for a full month grid. The March 2026 example shows Compliance Follow-Up Review (plus one more) on the 3rd, then Playground Infrastructure Survey, Remedial Re-Inspection, Classroom Teaching Observation, CCTV & Gate Security Review and Library Stock & Condition Audit.
Daily View
Set a Start Date and End Date to list every inspection in between – the March 2026 sample returns entries 17 to 24. Handy for a weekly staff briefing.
Events
The master list: 19 inspection types, 35 locations (Principal’s Office, Records Room, Bus Bay, Chemistry Lab, Medical Room and more) and 12 start times from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday to Saturday. Replace the rows with your own plan.

👥 Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
✅ Built for:
- Principals and administrators planning internal walk-throughs and follow-ups
- Facilities and transport coordinators booking washroom, canteen and bus checks
❌ Not for:
- Anyone needing checklists, findings, ratings or corrective-action tracking – it records the schedule only
- Schools wanting a tool that guarantees an official inspection outcome – it makes no such claim
- Desktop Excel users – an Excel edition is in preparation

- Sign in and choose File > Make a copy (Google Docs Editors Help: create, view or download a file).
- Overwrite the 100 sample rows in the Events tab with your inspections.

- Use the Year, Month and date-range boxes to review, print or share the plan.
💼 Real-World Use Cases
A school principal spreads teaching observations, library audits and playground surveys across the year and uses the Annual View to stop any month piling up.
A facilities coordinator prints each week’s washroom, canteen and electrical checks from the Daily View every Monday.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the School Inspection Calendar in Google Sheets?
A PDF with the Google Sheets copy link. Sign in with a Google account and use File > Make a copy – no Excel, macros or scripts needed.
What happens when two inspections fall on the same day?
The Daily View lists both; the Monthly View shows the first plus “1 more…”. The sample has two such dates, 3 March and 8 October 2026.
Does it record inspection findings or ratings?
No. It stores date, day, time, location and a one-line description. It has no checklist, scoring or reminder feature and is not linked to any inspection body or accreditation scheme. Long event names can clip in the Daily View column.
