30% of a teacher's week — back to the pupils
We don't save hours into a spreadsheet. We give them back to the children: more eye contact, more 1:1, more teacher in the room — and a teacher who still has energy when the day ends.
back to the children — every week
Equivalent to an extra teacher in roughly one in six classrooms across England.
Calculated from ~468,000 FTE teachers in state-funded schools (source: DfE School Workforce Census).
A teacher's week, before and after
Based on feedback from teachers using the platform — the saved hours come almost entirely from preparation and administration, not from teaching time.
Estimate based on direct customer feedback. Actual savings depend on which modules a school adopts.
Where the hours disappear today
Three honest realities most schools recognise.
Preparation from scratch
The same activities get rebuilt again and again — one teacher at a time, often late at night.
Administration in silos
Absences, grades, communication and reports live in separate systems with no shared context.
Collaboration that costs more than it gives
The faculty team meets, but everything drowns in emails, attachments and conflicting versions.
Hours back every week on preparation
Plan once, differentiate automatically, reuse across years and teams.

The real reason it adds up to 30%
Every module shares the same data model. You never type the same thing twice.
A substitute booked in the timetable automatically updates the schedule, notifies parents, surfaces in the pupil log and inherits the lesson prep — without anyone copying anything.
What does 30% actually look like in one classroom?
The maths per class
30% of a teacher's week per class ≈ 4 extra hours. Here's where they can go:
Estimate based on 30% saving of a typical 40-hour week. Figures vary by class and module mix.
30% more teacher — and the class can feel it
30% isn't the goal. It's what makes the real goal possible: the teacher being with the pupils, not behind a screen.
More adult contact
1:1 conversations, small check-ins, the teacher reaching every pupil — including the quiet ones.
Faster feedback
Grades auto-feed, marks land in one place. Sarah knows what to work on today — not next week.
Better teaching, not just more of it
When the faculty team shares prep, all four classes get the best version of a unit — not the one a tired teacher could build at 10 PM.
A teacher who's there
No late-night catch-up, no administrative burnout. The teacher goes home on time and shows up fully present the next morning.
I get to see the pupils again — not just race past them.

Frequently asked
Is 30% realistic for our school?
Most schools see the saving after one semester once timetable, lesson prep and the pupil log are in use. If you adopt only one module, savings typically land between 8–15%.
Does it work without AI?
Yes. AI accelerates things, but the core saving comes from modules sharing data. You can disable AI at school level and still save significant time.
What about GDPR and PII?
Data sits in the EU. An AI chokepoint blocks personal identifiers before they reach any AI provider. Every prompt is audited for 180 days.
How long is onboarding?
Typically days, not months. We provide a 7-step guide plus sample data so you can see it working before migrating real data.
Does it replace teachers?
No. It gives the time back to the students. Every decision, every grade and every message still has a teacher behind it.
