For school AI leads, digital strategists and departments
Evaluate AI marking for your school
Explore how TeachEdge’s marking and feedback could fit your school. Start with the work teachers already set, review the evidence and agree a manageable pilot before considering wider use.
What to establish before a pilot
Subject and assessment fit
Check the subjects, qualifications, exam boards and question types you need. For KS3, Quick Mark and Class Marking let teachers set a learning focus and success criteria, with marks and feedback or feedback only.
Compare the three marking routesTeacher judgement and review
TeachEdge generates draft results. In Class Marking, teachers can adjust marks, edit feedback and control release. Manual release is the default; automatic release is an option. Agree the review approach your school will use during evaluation.

Involve your IT and data-protection colleagues before using student work. Review the published privacy and security information, and contact TeachEdge about documentation or questions specific to your school.
Costs and practical support
Plan around marking frequency, response length and the use of handwriting or scans. Department plans share credits; whole-school plans are tailored to expected use. Discuss the teachers, subjects and support needed for your pilot.
A practical approach to a school pilot
Use these steps to structure your evaluation. Agree its scope and success criteria with colleagues before starting.
- 1
Choose a focused starting point
Start with a department, subject or assessment type. Agree what you want to learn: whether feedback is useful, how much checking is needed, and whether the workflow fits teachers’ routines.
- 2
Use work your teachers understand
Choose a representative range of responses and compare the draft marks and feedback with teachers’ judgements against the same criteria. Include weaker, stronger and borderline answers, and record disagreements.
- 3
Assess the whole workflow
Measure preparation, upload, review, correction and feedback return as well as AI processing time. Ask students whether they understand their next steps, and check the credits used for the work you actually mark.
- 4
Review before expanding
Bring together teacher feedback, marking comparisons, workload observations and student responses. Decide which uses are suitable, what support colleagues need and whether to extend the pilot.
Discuss a starting point for your school
Tell us the subjects and year groups you have in mind, how work is submitted and what you want to evaluate. We can use the demonstration to explore those questions.
