AI that gives you your evenings back
Practical, classroom-tested ways to use AI in your primary school for planning, resources and marking — without losing your professional judgement.
Teachers spend, on average, a substantial share of their working week on tasks that don't require standing in front of a class: planning, resourcing, marking, and communicating with parents. This is where AI in primary schools has the clearest, most immediate impact — not by replacing teaching, but by taking the first pass at the repetitive parts, so you have more time for the part of the job only you can do. Everything below has been written specifically for the UK primary curriculum and classroom reality, not adapted from generic corporate AI advice.
