AI for GCSE and sixth form
From Year 10 to Year 13, teachers use Flint to give pupils more one-to-one support than a lesson allows. Sparky can quiz a pupil at their own level, give feedback on an essay plan, hold a conversation in French or German, or play a figure from a history or literature topic.
Teachers set the rules. They decide what Sparky should draw on, how much help it gives, and what it should never do, such as write a pupil's answer for them. Then they read how each pupil got on.

Built around GCSE and post-16 courses
Flint's presets include the DfE's GCSE subject content for 33 subjects, from English language and combined science to film studies, economics and British Sign Language, as well as the Key Stage 4 programmes of study. A department adopts the ones it teaches in one click. Flint then builds activities against those objectives and tracks which ones each pupil's sessions covered, so you can see which topics a Year 11 group still needs to revisit before its mocks. Heads of department can open any pupil's conversations too, to see how a class approached a topic before planning the next lesson.
For A level, T Level, BTEC or IB courses, upload your specification or scheme of work and Sparky will work from it. Sixth formers use Flint for independent study between lessons: a physics student checking a derivation, an English literature student arguing about 1984 with Winston Smith, or a computer science student working out the Big O of their own code.
Coursework and exam rules
Sparky coaches pupils through their own work and doesn't write it for them. If pupils use Flint for coursework or NEA, the JCQ's rules on AI in assessments still apply. Pupils can't delete their conversations, so you can see exactly what help each one had. Many schools also ask pupils to note when and how they used AI on a piece of work, and a saved Flint conversation makes that easy to check. For revision, see exam prep.
UK schools use Flint's separate UK service at uk.flintk12.com, with pupil data stored in London and AI processing in the EU.
