Question 1

How does School Reports UK ensure compliance with Department for Education standards?

Accepted Answer

Our AI models are specifically trained on official Department for Education reporting guidelines, SIMS, Arbor or Bromcom requirements, and the National Curriculum in England. We regularly update our training data to reflect changes in curriculum and reporting standards. However, all generated comments should be reviewed by you as the qualified educator to ensure they accurately reflect your pupils' individual performance and meet your school's specific requirements.

Question 2

Will comments work for my specific subject and year level?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We support Reception to Year 13, including senior secondary subjects. Our platform covers all curriculum areas and elective subjects commonly taught in UK schools, and includes EAL (English as an additional language) support as well as support for pupils with additional learning needs.

Question 3

Do the comments use the correct UK achievement scale?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our AI understands the the language of the expected standard (working towards, at the expected standard, or at greater depth), EYFS expected and emerging judgements, and GCSE grades 9-1 used in UK schools and generates comments appropriate to each achievement level. For Reception, we focus on effort and progress without grades. For secondary years, we align comments with syllabus outcomes and curriculum standards. The platform automatically adjusts the tone and content based on the achievement level you specify.

Question 4

Can I use this for pupils with additional learning needs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have built-in support for pupils with diverse learning needs. Support for pupils learning English as an additional language, describing subject understanding separately from developing English proficiency. Where a pupil has a SEN Support Plan, we focus on personalised goals and the adjustments already in place, and we deliberately keep diagnoses and support classifications out of the comment itself.

Question 5

Which schools is School Reports UK built for?

Accepted Answer

School Reports UK is built for schools in England: the national curriculum, the EYFS and the DfE reporting requirements, from Reception to Year 13. Schools in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland follow different curricula and assessment arrangements, so the achievement language in our comments is written for England.

Question 6

Is using this tool considered 'cheating' by my headteacher?

Accepted Answer

No, think of us like a sophisticated spell-checker for professional feedback. You provide the student context, achievement level, and teaching observations. We help with the wording. You review, edit, and approve every single comment before it goes anywhere. The professional judgment is yours; we just save you the time of finding the right words at 9pm on a Sunday. Many schools already use comment banks and templates, and this is simply a smarter, more personalised version of that same approach.

Question 7

How much time can I realistically save using this platform?

Accepted Answer

Teachers using the platform consistently report cutting their report writing time in half. A typical teacher might spend 30+ hours writing comments for 90-120 students. With our platform, that time reduces to review and personalisation. The exact time saved depends on class size, subjects taught, and your editing preferences.

Question 8

How does the AI generate comments? What information do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

You provide basic information about each pupil: a student code or nickname (never a real name), year level, subject, achievement level, and optional teacher notes about specific achievements or areas for development. Our AI then generates a personalised comment that follows UK reporting best practices: starting with positive achievements, describing specific skills and knowledge, and providing constructive guidance for improvement. You can then edit and refine the comment before finalizing it.

Question 9

Can I customize or edit the generated comments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We strongly encourage editing and personalization. The AI provides a professional, compliant foundation, but you know your students best. You can edit any part of the comment, regenerate with different parameters, or use the comment as inspiration while writing your own. Think of it as a highly intelligent starting point that respects your professional judgment.

Question 10

Does the platform remember my students from term to term?

Accepted Answer

We do not store real student identities. Use codes or nicknames (e.g. A17, Blue-3, Ella-Maths) — you know who that is; we do not. We store only teacher-created, de-identified workspace data. You can export drafts and copy-paste into your school's official system. Any continuity is managed by you; we never touch real student records.

Question 11

What browsers and devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

Our platform works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and devices. We have a responsive design that works on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. There's no software to install - everything runs in your web browser.

Question 12

Is my data secure and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We do not store any personal student information — only teacher-created, de-identified workspace data. Our platform is designed for de-identified data only; do not enter real student names or personal details. We comply with applicable privacy legislation in your jurisdiction and Department for Education requirements. Workspace data is encrypted at rest. We never use your workspace data to train AI in a way that identifies real children, and we never share it with third parties.

Question 13

What kind of support do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer email support Monday-Friday during business hours.

Question 14

How does the pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We offer flexible token packages based on your reporting workload. Create an account, choose a token pack, and start generating. Tokens never expire, so you only pay when it's report time.

Question 15

Do I need to buy tokens to start?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New accounts choose a token package before using the dashboard and generation tools. There is no subscription, and your tokens stay available until you use them.

Question 16

Do tokens expire?

Accepted Answer

No, tokens never expire. Unlike subscriptions that charge you monthly, you only buy tokens when you need them. If you don't use all your tokens this reporting period, they'll be there next time. No recurring charges, no wasted money.
