Teacher & school — two angles on one tool

For the EAL teacher

  • ·Built-in home language translation

For the school

The school gets documented work for bilingual pupils — important for EAL provision and municipal reporting.

Frequently asked questions

How good is the pronunciation?

AI uses native TTS voices with correct prosody.

Does it replace the language teacher?

No — it gives pupils personal speaking time between classes.

Which curriculum goals does the English as an Additional Language coach cover?

The coach is mapped to England's National Curriculum for English as an Additional Language (KS2–KS4 programmes of study) and AQA/Edexcel/OCR specifications at GCSE. Teachers see coverage per lesson and per year plan.

What happens to personal data in the conversation?

Every prompt is scrubbed for NI numbers, email and pupil names before it reaches the AI (our PII guard returns 422 on a hit). Nothing is used for training, and only the school admin can review prompt audit logs.

Can the teacher turn the AI coach off for individual pupils or classes?

Yes. The AI coach can be disabled per class, set or individual pupil under Productivity AI controls. Pupils then see the same workspace without the AI buttons.

How does coach activity show up in My Learning and the Gradebook?

Each session is logged on the pupil's knowledge map and can be linked to lesson preparation and the year plan. Teachers see engagement, AI use and artefacts in the Gradebook — AI answers themselves never produce a mark.
