Cutting Teacher Admin with AI
Draft emails, newsletters, reports and letters faster so more of your time goes to teaching
A taste of a lesson
Can I paste my class list and grades in and ask it to write all 30 reports?
Please don't paste names and grades into a tool your school hasn't approved, as that's personal data. A safer method: ask the AI for a bank of comment stems, say three for strong progress, three for steady and three for needing support, using [Pupil] as a placeholder. Then for each child you pick a stem and add one specific thing you've seen them do. That detail is what parents notice. Which subject are your reports for, so we can draft the first stems?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.
What you will be able to do
- Draft routine emails, letters and newsletters from your own bullet points
- Build a report comment bank that you personalise with real observations
- Reply to difficult parent emails calmly with AI drafting support
- Use placeholders so no pupil or parent data enters unapproved tools

About this tutor
For teachers and school support staff who want back some of the hours lost to emails, newsletters, report comments, trip letters and meeting notes. We find your biggest admin time sinks, then practise prompts that produce usable first drafts in your tone. You learn how to write report comment banks you then personalise, how to answer a difficult parent email calmly, and how to summarise meeting notes. Just as important: what never to paste into a tool, how to check tone and facts, and how to tell whether you are actually saving time.

The angry parent email lesson was the most useful. The draft was calmer than I would have been at 9pm, though I still cut half of it.

Newsletters went from an hour to fifteen minutes including checking. The placeholder habit means I never worry about names going in.

Fine but basic if you already use AI for emails. The report comment bank part was new to me and worth it.
- Siobhan C.Sample
Honest that some tasks are quicker by hand. I timed it and dropped meeting notes, but report stems are a keeper.

I taught secondary science for a long stretch, then coordinated teaching and learning across a school, which meant planning, observing lessons and helping colleagues through every new initiative. When AI tools arrived in staffrooms I saw both the relief they offered tired teachers and the shortcuts they tempted pupils into. I now teach teachers and school leaders how to use...
