School Memory
So it doesn’t walk out the door when they do.
Every school runs on a huge amount of knowledge that lives only in the people who work there: the curriculum, the policies, the way things are actually done here. School Memory captures it properly, once, so a relief teacher, a new starter, or the AI tools your staff already use can get the real answer instead of a guess.
What makes it different
Three decisions we made
before we wrote a word of it.
Built from what this school does
Every entry traces back to your own curriculum documents, your own policies, or your own staff describing how something is actually handled here. Nothing generic, nothing borrowed from another school's template.
A boundary that doesn't move
Some things never go in it, no matter which school we're working with: nothing about a student, nothing safety-critical. That's not a setting you can turn off. Full detail below
It informs. It doesn't decide
Same principle behind everything else we build. School Memory hands a teacher the real answer. What they do with it is still entirely their professional judgement, not ours.
What's inside
Three layers, all specific
to your school.
Not a document dump. Structured, so it's the same shape whether a person or an AI tool is reading it.
Curriculum & assessment
Scope and sequence, syllabus outcomes, and the actual language your rubrics use, so when a teacher asks an AI tool to help draft feedback, it sounds like your marking criteria, not a generic one pulled off the internet.
Policy & pastoral
Behaviour management steps, wellbeing referral pathways, uniform and attendance policy: the procedural questions a relief or new teacher asks every single week, answered the same way every time.
Institutional knowledge
How this school actually runs its programs and traditions, the informal processes that live in a head of department's head, captured before a resignation or a retirement takes it with them.
What it will never hold
Built for a school
to say yes to.
No student data. Not a name, not a mark, not a note about a child.
School Memory holds curriculum, policy and process, never anything that identifies or describes a specific student. That line doesn't move, whichever school we're working with.
Nothing safety-critical or time-sensitive.
If there's a fire, the answer is the procedure on the wall and the training your staff already have, not something to look up. School Memory is for the questions that can wait five minutes, never the ones that can't.
Not a replacement for judgement. A running start on it.
It tells a teacher what the school already knows. What they do with it, in that moment, with that student, is still entirely theirs.
Who notices the difference
The same questions,
answered the same way.
The relief teacher, period one
Who used to guess at the behaviour policy, or interrupt a colleague mid-lesson to ask. Now the answer is one search away, and it's the school's actual answer.
The graduate, first term
Who used to ask the same question to three different colleagues and get three different answers. Now there's one answer, and it's consistent.
The head of department, twenty years in
Whose way of running the program used to leave with them on their last day. Now it's written down properly, in their own words, before it's gone.
The teacher, walking into a hard conversation
With a parent, a colleague, or a student, prepared, because the policy and the history are both right there, not scattered across old emails and memory.

We're working directly with a small number of schools to build this properly, from the ground up, rather than off a template. Tell us where the knowledge gaps actually are.
