To do

1 Your designated safeguarding lead

Who we contact, and who your staff go to, if there's a safeguarding concern about something made or shared in Lessonsmith.

Name or role Work email

2 Two-step sign-in

Staff use an authenticator app as well as their password. School admins always must.

3 What teachers can share with pupils Teachers can set exam papers as tasks for pupils (live sessions and class tokens). Pupils' answers stay on their own device. Teachers can let pupils see the mark scheme after they finish a task. Teachers can run practice tests: pupils hand in their answers (typed, drawn or handwritten) in a live session for the teacher to mark. Answers are sealed in the pupil's browser so only their teacher's browser can open them, and they're deleted from Lessonsmith once the teacher collects them, or 24 hours after the session ends. Teachers can ask AI to suggest marks for practice tests. Only when a teacher asks, the question, mark scheme and that one answer (never a nickname) go to Lessonsmith's AI provider, which doesn't keep or train on them. The teacher always checks and confirms every mark. Off unless you choose it. Staff can make AI pictures for slides and worksheets. Only the teacher's description of the picture goes to Google (a UK or EU region); staff are asked not to include names or personal details. Pictures are labelled as AI-generated. Pupils can't make pictures. On unless you switch it off.

Leadership tools

🎓 Staff training studio

Bite-sized, lively CPD on techniques drawn from a wide range of trusted sources, such as EEF research, Rosenshine, cognitive science, Dylan Wiliam's formative assessment and Doug Lemov's Teach Like a Champion, plus safeguarding and KCSIE, SEND (codes, pupil profiles and EHC plans) and leading people (meetings, mentoring and difficult conversations). Short, sweet and meaningful: every session changes something for pupils, never a tick-box exercise. Each session has a hook, the big idea, why it works, The 5 Moves to try tomorrow, a hands-on activity and a one-week challenge, ready to present with notes.

🧪 AI Labs for pupils Off

AI Labs lets KS3 pupils train their own machine learning model in a lesson. It's included free with your licence, with 90 pupil licences (pupils using it at the same time). Pupils join with a class code and a random nickname: no pupil accounts, names or emails. Their pictures and sentences stay on their device, and nicknames and progress are deleted when each session ends.

AI Labs is off until you switch it on. While it's off, no one at your school can run it, pupils can't join, and the AI Labs terms and safeguarding responsibilities in our Data Processing Agreement (Schedule 4) don't apply to your school. The rest of Lessonsmith stays for staff aged 18 or over only.

To switch it on, please confirm that your school:

will only run AI Labs in lessons supervised by a member of staff, who remains responsible for pupils' safety online; has checked AI Labs against its own data protection and online safety policies (for example in its DPIA) and will tell pupils and parents about it in the usual way; will tell pupils not to type real names or personal details and not to photograph people, and accepts the AI Labs terms in Schedule 4 of the Data Processing Agreement.

Revision Forge Plus adds every other GCSE subject (GCSE Maths, English Language, Combined Science, English Literature, History, Geography and Religious Studies), live sessions and exam papers in every subject, mark schemes, and class tokens: one token per pupil, so pupils keep their progress on any device without logging in.

🎒 Pupil sign-in for Revision Forge New Off

Pupils sign in with their school Google or Microsoft account and Revision Forge opens every subject your school has. Switching this on is your authorisation: until you do, pupil logins with your school accounts are blocked. Optional: free resources, class codes and Smith Coins still work without a login.

🔒 Only your pupil email domains, verified by Google or Microsoft
🙈 No pupil accounts: we don't keep names or emails
⏱ Sessions last 8 hours; switching off ends them at once

Pupil email domain(s)

these domains are our school's own, used only for our pupils' accounts; we'll tell pupils and parents in our privacy notice, and accept Schedule 8 of the Data Processing Agreement; we manage these accounts (for example in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365) and will remove leavers.

🪙 Pupil coins New

🎁 Class rewards New Off

Let teachers offer small rewards to the whole group in a live Revision Forge session for reaching a Smith Coin level: 🥈 Silver, 🥇 Gold or 💎 Platinum (for example "a bag of sweets" or "a £5 book token"). Pupils see how close their own coin is, with an encouraging note.

👥 Shown to the whole group, never offered to one pupil
🧑‍🏫 Teachers check coins and give rewards in person
🔒 Item names only: Lessonsmith never handles money, gift cards or pupils' details

rewards follow our school's reward, healthy-eating and allergy policies, and our safeguarding policy on gifts; rewards are offered to whole groups, fairly, never to individual pupils in private; staff check coins and give any reward in person; the school provides and pays for rewards.
