Real stories from UK secondary schools using AI to transform teaching, learning, and school performance
Geography teachers were spending hours marking assessments, leaving little time for actual teaching. Traditional marking methods were inconsistent, feedback was generic, and teachers were burning out from excessive workload. With increasing class sizes and curriculum demands, something had to change.
We built Rubrical as an AI-powered geography assessment tool that processes handwritten submissions, provides detailed feedback aligned to curriculum standards, and maintains teacher professional judgement. The platform works with existing school systems and supports Department for Education requirements.
Secondary schools struggled with computer science education - students found programming intimidating, teachers were overwhelmed with basic support queries, and GCSE uptake was declining. Traditional teaching methods weren't engaging digital natives who expected interactive, gamified learning experiences.
CodeKit combines AI tutoring with gamified learning to make programming accessible and engaging. Students learn through interactive challenges while the AI provides personalised support, reducing teacher workload and building student confidence in computer science.

Education AI Questions
Direct answers to the questions educators ask about AI implementation, safeguarding, and educational outcomes
Most AI solutions can be piloted within 2-4 weeks and fully deployed across departments within a term. We typically start with a single subject area (like Geography with Rubrical or Computer Science with CodeKit) to demonstrate value before expanding. Our implementation includes teacher training, system integration, and ongoing support to ensure smooth adoption.
Yes, our education AI integrates seamlessly with major school systems including SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, and popular VLE platforms like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and Moodle. We build custom APIs where needed and ensure data flows smoothly between systems without disrupting existing workflows.
Teachers need minimal training - typically 2-3 hours of initial setup plus ongoing support. Our AI tools are designed to feel familiar and intuitive for educators. We provide comprehensive training materials, regular check-ins during the first term, and a dedicated support team who understand educational contexts.
Absolutely. We recommend starting with pilot programmes in 1-2 departments to demonstrate impact before expanding. Pilot periods typically run for one term, giving teachers time to see real benefits in their daily work. This approach helps build confidence and allows for adjustments based on your school's specific needs.
Yes, significantly. Schools using our AI solutions report 45% increased subject uptake (as seen with CodeKit in Computer Science), more detailed feedback (2.5x improvement with Rubrical), and better student engagement. The key is that AI enhances teaching rather than replacing it - teachers spend more time on high-value activities like individual support and creative lesson planning.
AI excels at personalisation. Our solutions can adjust feedback styles, provide additional scaffolding, offer alternative explanations, and support visual/auditory learning preferences. For SEND students, AI can provide consistent support, reduce anxiety through predictable feedback patterns, and help teachers identify specific areas where additional support is needed.
Our AI is designed to build independence, not dependence. Tools like CodeKit guide students towards understanding rather than providing answers. We implement graduated support that reduces as students become more confident, and teachers maintain full oversight of the learning process to ensure students develop genuine skills and knowledge.
All our education AI solutions are built around UK curriculum standards. Rubrical aligns with KS3/KS4 Geography assessment objectives, whilst CodeKit supports GCSE Computer Science requirements. The AI helps teachers demonstrate impact, track progress, and provide the detailed evidence Ofsted values whilst reducing administrative burden.
Student safety is paramount. We exceed GDPR requirements for children's data with enhanced protections including parental consent management, data minimisation, and automatic deletion schedules. All solutions can run entirely within your school's infrastructure, ensuring student data never leaves your premises. We maintain comprehensive audit trails and regular compliance reviews.
Yes, parents can opt out and we provide clear communication templates to explain how AI benefits learning. In practice, opt-out rates are typically very low (<5%) when parents understand the educational benefits and safety measures. We work with schools to ensure transparent communication about AI use and its benefits for their children's education.
Our education AI includes multiple safety layers: content filtering, age-appropriate language models, and continuous monitoring. Unlike general AI tools, our systems are specifically trained for educational contexts and include safeguarding protocols designed for school environments. All outputs can be reviewed and schools maintain complete oversight.
Schools retain complete ownership of their data. We provide comprehensive data export tools and will permanently delete all student information within 30 days of contract termination (or as per your school's data retention policy). Our contracts include clear data ownership clauses that protect your school's interests.
Schools typically see ROI within 6 months through teacher time savings, improved retention, and reduced supply costs. Rubrical saves geography teachers 3-5 hours per week on marking, whilst CodeKit reduces CS teacher support time by 70%. When you consider teacher hourly costs and supply teacher rates, the financial benefits are substantial - before considering the educational improvements.
Yes, multiple funding routes exist including DfE technology grants, MAT central funding, and EdTech demonstrator programmes. We help schools identify appropriate funding streams and provide business case templates. Many schools use existing IT budgets or professional development allocations. We also offer flexible payment terms for state schools.
We offer MAT-wide licensing with significant economies of scale. Pricing is typically per student or per school within the trust, with volume discounts for larger MATs. This allows individual schools within the MAT to pilot solutions whilst benefiting from trust-wide procurement power and shared implementation costs.
We understand budget constraints in education. Smaller schools can often share costs through local consortiums or start with subject-specific solutions that demonstrate clear ROI. Our pricing scales appropriately for school size, and we offer payment plans that spread costs across the academic year to help with budget planning.
Every school has unique requirements and challenges. Let's discuss your specific needs and how AI can support your teachers whilst maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding and educational quality.
