Teachers spend more time on admin than on teaching

The average teacher spends 3-4 hours every week on lesson planning, resource creation and written feedback. That is time away from students, from rest, from everything else.

Generic AI tools like ChatGPT can help — but they do not know what Key Stage 3 means, they do not understand the UK curriculum, and they were not designed for a teacher's workflow.

"Pencil is ChatGPT that went to teacher training."

Real teachers. Real time saved.

I used to lose every Sunday to planning. Now I get two hours back every week. The quality has actually gone up.

Pencil was the only tool that understood the UK curriculum out of the box. It saved us months of prompt-engineering.
