AI statement
What Planwell uses AI for
One thing today: drafting catch-up work for a lesson a pupil missed, from that lesson's own content and the resources the teacher uploaded, when a teacher asks for it. The teacher reads and edits the draft. Nothing reaches a pupil until the teacher publishes it.
What is sent
The subject, the lesson's title and content, the text of the resources the teacher chose, and any instruction the teacher typed. The request is about a lesson, never about a pupil.
What is never sent
No pupil's name or identifier, no attendance, no marks, no staff name, nothing about any person.
Who processes it
Anthropic's Claude API, under its commercial terms. Anthropic does not use what Planwell sends to train its models. Planwell runs with zero data retention: Anthropic holds the request only for as long as it takes to return the response and keeps no copy afterwards.
A school can bring its own AI instead: its own API key, so the agreement and the bill are the school's, or no key at all, copying the prompt Planwell writes into the AI the school already uses and pasting the JSON output back for Planwell to check and file. The provider is then the school's choice and that provider's terms apply; what is sent does not change.
What Planwell keeps
The draft itself, in the school's own database, where the teacher edits and publishes it. For each call, the model's name and the number of tokens in and out, for cost and audit. Not the request.
What AI never does in Planwell
It never issues a card, marks a pupil's work, sends a message, or decides anything about a pupil. People do those; Planwell records them.
Inspective
Inspective was made by reading Ofsted's published reports with Claude. Every quote and every grade in it was checked against the report it came from. Nothing in Inspective runs through AI when you use it, and nothing about you is sent anywhere.
Next
Any new use of AI is written here before it goes live. The next is the audio version of a lesson for pupils who need it: a read-aloud script drafted by Claude from the lesson's text, edited by the teacher, then voiced by a text-to-speech service, which will be named here with the same facts as above.
