Teachers Decide
The platform curves, flags and drafts. The grade, and what happens next, is always the teacher's call.
Every mark should lead somewhere.
Distil EDU exists to turn the marks teachers already enter into help that arrives in time: the student who needs support, the family who should hear, and the report that takes minutes instead of an evening.
What We Believe
Families Hear From People
No message goes home until a teacher has read it and chosen to send it.
Honest Numbers
An absence is not a zero, an unmarked paper is not a fail, and every figure on a screen adds up.
Private by Default
Student data is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models.
Accountable by Design
Every grade change is recorded against the person who made it, and each teacher's classes stay theirs.
Built for Real Classrooms
It works on a phone, on a school connection, and for a register taken standing up at the front of the room.
Our Promises
- A teacher reviews every message before it reaches a family.
- Students never need an account.
- Assistants see only their own teacher's classes. Administrators see no marks at all.
- No adverts, no tracking scripts, and no selling of anyone's data.
How We Build
Start From the Classroom
Features begin with a job a teacher already does, in the order they do it.
Say What It Cannot Do
Where Google or WhatsApp sets a limit, the screen says so rather than pretending otherwise.
Check, Don't Assume
Security rules and the maths behind every grade are tested on every change.
