AI Policy

Last updated: 2nd February 2026

StartSprint uses artificial intelligence to assist teachers in creating educational content and analysing student performance. This policy explains how we use AI and our commitments to responsible AI use.

Core Principle

AI assists teachers; it does not replace professional judgement.

1How We Use AI

AI-Assisted Quiz Generation

  • Generate quiz questions from topics or uploaded documents
  • Suggest multiple-choice answers and distractors
  • Extract key concepts from educational materials
  • Teachers review and approve all AI-generated content before publication

Performance Analytics

  • Identify patterns in student performance data
  • Suggest areas where students may need additional support
  • Highlight questions with unusual difficulty patterns
  • Provide insights to inform teaching decisions

Content Recommendations

  • Suggest related topics for quiz creation
  • Recommend adjustments to question difficulty
  • Identify gaps in curriculum coverage

2What AI Does NOT Do

  • AI does not independently assess or label students. All student data is anonymous. AI analyses patterns, not individuals.
  • AI does not make educational decisions. Teachers remain fully responsible for all teaching and assessment decisions.
  • AI does not interact directly with students. There is no AI chatbot or direct AI-student communication.
  • AI does not use student personal data for training. Student gameplay is anonymous and not used to train AI models.

3Teacher Responsibilities

When using AI-assisted features:

  • Review all AI-generated content before publishing to students
  • Verify factual accuracy of AI-generated questions and answers
  • Ensure age-appropriate content and language
  • Check for bias or inappropriate material
  • Use professional judgement when interpreting AI insights
  • Understand AI limitations — AI can make mistakes

4Data Privacy & AI

  • No student personal data is used to train AI models
  • Gameplay data is anonymised before any AI analysis
  • Teacher-created content may be analysed to improve suggestions (opt-out available)
  • AI processing happens securely within our infrastructure
  • Third-party AI services (if used) comply with UK GDPR

5Transparency & Explainability

We are committed to transparency:

  • AI-generated content is clearly labelled as such
  • AI recommendations include explanations where possible
  • Teachers can always choose to ignore AI suggestions
  • We document which features use AI

6AI Model Selection

We use AI models that:

  • Are appropriate for educational contexts
  • Comply with UK data protection requirements
  • Have been tested for bias and accuracy
  • Are regularly updated and monitored

7Handling AI Errors

AI can make mistakes. We commit to:

  • Clear labelling of AI-generated content
  • Easy reporting mechanisms for incorrect AI outputs
  • Rapid response to reports of inappropriate content
  • Continuous improvement of AI accuracy
  • Never claiming AI is infallible

8Safeguarding & AI

In line with our safeguarding commitments:

  • AI does not have access to student identities
  • AI cannot send messages to students
  • AI-generated content is filtered for inappropriate material
  • Teachers review all AI content before student exposure

9Future AI Development

As AI technology evolves:

  • We will update this policy to reflect new AI uses
  • Teachers will be notified of significant AI feature changes
  • We will maintain our human-in-the-loop approach
  • Education and professional judgement remain central
