How does Report Alchemy work?
Report Alchemy uses AI to generate personalised student reports. You build a report format or paste in a report you have already written so it can copy the structure, add each pupil's name and your notes, and the AI writes a complete report, usually in under a minute. You can then refine it with plain-English instructions.
Is Report Alchemy free to use?
Every new account includes 30 free reports — enough for a whole class — with no expiry and no card required. When you need more, a Teacher licence is £24 a year for unlimited reports, and everything that supports the writing (AI suggestions, format learning, refinement) is included at every tier.
Will the reports sound like they were written by AI?
Report Alchemy learns your format, tone and length from a report you have already written and paste in, and writes to match it, so the output follows your house style rather than a generic template. Read and edit every report before it goes home: you know the child, and the AI only knows your notes.
Is my student data safe and GDPR compliant?
Your data is stored in the UK, in Google Cloud's London region, encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can delete any pupil — or your whole account — yourself, immediately. Reports are generated by OpenAI in the US under Standard Contractual Clauses. The pupil form asks for a first name only, and with name replacement switched on, the names of pupils you have added are replaced with a code before anything is sent for generation, and put back on our servers afterwards. Names we have not been told about — for example in an example report you paste in — are not detected, so remove them first. Nothing you enter is used to train AI models. Every sub-processor is named in our
privacy policy, and our
Article 28 data processing agreement is published in full and signable online, with everything else a DPO needs at
report-alchemy.com/data-protection.
Can I use Report Alchemy for any subject or year group?
Yes. The tool supports every subject — from Maths and English to PE and Music — and works for all year groups, from Early Years through to Sixth Form and beyond. It can also write in other languages for international schools.
Does it remember my pupils between terms?
Yes. Every pupil you write about is saved to your account, and when you write about them again you can choose to bring last term's report into context — so the new one can build on it. It's opt-in every time, and the My Pupils screen lets you rename, merge duplicates, group pupils into classes, download everything, or delete a pupil and everything about them in one click.
What are parents' evening notes?
Talking points for each appointment, built from the report you already wrote — what to open with, strengths worth saying out loud, one thing to raise, a question to ask the parent, and a next step to agree. For any pupil with a report, it takes no typing at all: one button writes the whole class, and the page prints as your running order for the evening.
How is Report Alchemy different from using ChatGPT?
Unlike generic AI chatbots, Report Alchemy is purpose-built for school reports. It learns your report format from a report you have already written, keeps your class list and your pupils from term to term, writes a whole class in one sitting, and offers suggestions for each section — none of which a general chatbot does for you out of the box.
