Claude models, run in the EU
Sparky uses Anthropic's Claude models through Amazon Bedrock in the EU, together with translation, code-based maths calculations and web search to keep answers accurate.
One AI platform for every school in your trust
Give teachers time back and pupils a tutor that knows the curriculum, while your central team sees how AI is used in every school. Pupil data stays in the UK.
Why trusts choose Flint
Flint is built for schools, and it's set up to match how a trust is run.
Oversight across the trust, set-up in each school
Flint mirrors your trust's structure. Central leaders see analytics across every school, including flagged conversations. Each school keeps its own AI guidelines and moderation rules, so a primary and a secondary in the same trust can run Flint differently.
Safeguarding alerts that reach your DSLs
Sparky checks every pupil message for self-harm, violence, harassment, hate, sexual content, illicit content and pupils treating the AI as a friend. Schools can add up to 20 categories of their own. Alerts go by email to the staff each school chooses, and self-harm alerts are always sent straight away. Learn about moderation.
Pupil data stored in London
UK schools use a separate UK service at uk.flintk12.com. Pupil data is stored in London, and conversations with the AI run in the EU. Pupil work is never used to train AI models, and our sub-processor list names every provider.
Match each school's ethos and approach
Leaders can set a school's mission, teaching approach, marking expectations and academic integrity rules, and Sparky follows them in every class. Faith schools, specialist schools and all-through schools can each keep their own character. Learn about mission and background.
Quick to roll out across schools
Staff and pupils sign in with the Google or Microsoft accounts they already have. Class lists sync from your MIS or LMS, or you can upload a spreadsheet using UK year groups (Year 7, Yr 7 or Y7 all work).

Data protection
Pupil data is stored in London and AI processing runs in the EU. If our EU document-scanning service is down, the request fails instead of falling back to a US server.
Nothing hidden from staff
Pupils can't delete their conversations, and teachers and school leaders can read all of them. Safety alerts go to the staff each school picks, such as its DSL.

CUSTOMER STORIES
What teachers say
Teachers in schools around the world on what changed when their pupils started using Flint.
"By using Flint, students are also learning how to use AI effectively. They are learning the importance of effective prompting when asking Flint for explanations in different ways or reflecting on learning by summarising key points."
Richard Strafford
"We have rolled out Flint to our staff and students as their personal tutor. This has allowed students to gain additional support as well as provided teachers with “Additional hands” in the classroom."
Steve Buettner
"From a professional standpoint, Flint's impact on teaching practice is profound. By automating tasks such as document formatting and rubric construction, Flint AI restores the teacher’s focus to pedagogy, discourse, and relational teaching."
Joseph Shannon
"Using Flint for review for the end-of-unit test was optional, but all but two students chose to use it. Their performance on the test was noticeably higher than in previous years, so what I did with Flint definitely had an impact."
Lara Cross
