Yes, Olex.Al is designed to significantly reduce teacher workload through rapid AI assessment. Teachers typically save between 60 and 90 minutes per week on marking and feedback as the platform can mark an entire class of 30 essays in just 2 minutes.

Students do not have to type, the platform is built to work with both handwritten and digital work. It works naturally with standard exercise books—no special paper or templates are required. Students, or teachers, can take a photo of handwritten work on a desktop, mobile or tablet. Or work can be scanned in bulk, using a flatbed or office scanner.

For Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), Olex.Al provides a strategic, “examiner-level” solution to standardise writing assessment and moderation across all member schools. Trust leaders gain access to high-level dashboards that track student progress and attainment trends in real-time, allowing for data-driven interventions and the targeting of Professional Development (CPD) where it is most needed. To ensure a smooth rollout, every Trust is supported by a dedicated Trust Implementation Plan (TIP) and a Partnership Manager, ensuring that the technology is embedded consistently to reduce teacher workload and improve standards trust-wide.

Olex.Al is designed to be highly inclusive for EAL students by removing language barriers that often hinder writing progress. The platform features an automated translation module supporting over 100 languages, allowing feedback to be translated into a student’s native language to build confidence and involve parents in home learning. This multi-layered support ensures that pupils can access high-level writing tasks and receive rapid, detailed feedback regardless of their primary language, helping to accelerate their progress alongside their peers.

Olex.Al places the highest priority on data security, ensuring that all student information is managed within a strictly protected environment that is fully UK GDPR-compliant. Student work is never used outside of Olex to train any global AI models, ensuring all data remains private to the school. Furthermore, every piece of feedback and every image generated is subject to strict moderation, with no content reaching a student until the teacher has reviewed it and manually clicked “Send”.

Yes, but the key is separating formative and summative stages. During drafting and revision, teachers can use AI feedback tools (or their own teacher feedback) to support students. However, the final piece submitted for KS2 teacher assessment must be written independently by the student — no AI-generated feedback should be used to guide that final submission. Teachers are still welcome to upload the final piece to the analytics dashboard, as this is purely for teacher analysis and does not involve guiding the student.

Yes. Olex marks 30 GCSE essays in 2 minutes – handwritten or typed – with consistent, examiner-level feedback for every student. There are no per-script fees. Unlimited marking is included in your annual subscription, and class-level analytics show you exactly where marks are being lost so you can target intervention fast.
