We are back after the most amazing Edexcel GCSE Business results.

Stephen Walton (Head of Economics & Business at King’s Chester) shared with me how one of his GCSE Business sets performed after using TeachEdge for marking and interventions:

Grades 7–9: 32% → 87.9%

Grade 9s: 5% → 39.4%

Pass rate (5+): 95% → 100%

In Stephen’s words:

“It is a remarkable transformation – quote it!”

We’re now working with nine GCSE Business & Economics sets there this term.

Back to school, lighter marking. ✍️📷

We built TeachEdge to help with the real workload: marking typed or handwritten answers (diagrams too).
Students snap a photo in the portal → TeachEdge transcribes it, reads the diagram, and gives AO-tagged feedback you can tweak in seconds. You stay in control—nothing goes to pupils until you approve.

What teachers are finding useful:

Handwritten & diagram recognition (AD/AS, cost curves, timelines, science graphs, etc.)

Sharper feedback that’s quick to edit and release

Question setting when you need fresh assessments (with mark schemes; full solutions for Maths/Physics)

UCAS references from rough notes to polished draft in your voice

Downloadable data by class or student for reports & parents’ evenings

Used by 300+ teachers last term, typically saving ~4 hours a week.
Free 2-week trial for new schools.

If you've tried this with ChatGPT, you'll know the response probably wasn't quite what you had in mind for your classroom.
Most of us have been there - asking AI for help and getting something that feels a bit American!. Or generic. Or just not quite right for our students.

I've been working with many UK teachers to figure out why some get brilliant results from AI while others find it frustrating. It turns out it's all about how you ask.

I've put together a free 5-day email course that covers the basics of getting AI to actually understand your classroom context.

What's included:
- Why some AI prompts work better than others
- How to help AI understand UK curriculum and teaching styles
- A simple technique that can save a few minutes per prompt
- Templates you can adapt for different subjects
- Examples from real UK classrooms

Just 5 short emails over the course of a week - nothing overwhelming.

DfE and JCQ have both updated their AI guidance for schools recently.
To make it easier for SLT and HoDs, I’ve pulled it together into a simple step-by-step strategy — how to set priorities, train staff without overload, and run a half-term pilot you can actually measure.

I’ve also added where AI-assisted marking tools (like TeachEdge) can fit safely into that strategy — saving teacher time but keeping full control over feedback.
