One school-safe AI platform. Every school aligned.
The platform 2,400 schools use to plan, create and adapt – now with the central oversight, consistency and rollout support an ETB or school trust needs.
You can’t standardise quality across schools with multiple different AI subscriptions.
Most ETBs and school trusts we speak to have the same uncomfortable truth: every school is already using AI - just not consistently, not safely, and not in a way the DPO can defend. Generic ChatGPT logins on personal accounts. One school on Copilot, another on Gemini, another on a free wrapper of unknown origin.
That’s a procurement headache, a compliance liability, and a missed productivity win all at once. The output quality is uneven, the data residency story is impossible to tell, and there is no way to report time-saved or monitor effectiveness.
Teachmate is what ETBs and school trusts deploy when they want a single, defensible answer to "what safe AI are we using across our schools?" One console. One DPA. One annual invoice. One named community manager. Every school on the same toolkit, every output classroom-ready, every minute of time saved counted.
Built for ETB - and trust-wide scale
Six things that make Teachmate work across a group of schools
Central standards and visibility without taking professional judgement away from schools and teachers.
Centralised group console
See every school and teacher from one ETB- or trust-level dashboard, then drill into local adoption when needed.
Adoption & time-saved reporting
Understand school-level adoption, commonly used tools and time saved, with reporting suitable for ETB board and Board of Management conversations.
Single ETB- or trust-level DPA
Use one Data Processing Agreement across all your schools, including any that join during the agreement.
SSO & managed provisioning
Support Microsoft and Google sign-on and manage staff access as people join, move schools or leave.
Dedicated group community manager
A named education specialist helps plan rollout, train school leads and keep adoption moving after launch.
Procurement that scales
Bring every school onto one supplier, one annual invoice and whole-school package pricing that reduces at ETB or trust scale.
Everything you need to roll out across your schools properly
Not just licences - the governance, provisioning, training and human support needed to make adoption work in every school.
Central admin & reporting
Manage school access and understand adoption from one ETB- or trust-level view.
SSO & provisioning
Use existing Microsoft or Google accounts and simplify staff moves across schools.
Group-wide CPD
Equip school leads with live training, reusable CPD for Croke Park hours and a practical rollout plan.
One DPA & named support
Give the DPO one supplier while our dedicated team support implementation.
From €2 per teacher, per month with group-wide annual pricing.
Group-wide pricing is quoted as a single annual total based on your rollout, with further discounts for larger and multi-year agreements. The ETB or trust receives one annual invoice.

The honest comparison
“Why can’t we just buy ChatGPT Edu?”
It's the question every ETB Director of Schools and trust CEO asks in the first call. Here's our honest answer.
Generic chat is not a workflow.
ChatGPT gives every teacher a blinking cursor and asks them to be a great prompt engineer. Teachmate is 160 structured tools where the teacher fills in class or year group, subject, learning objective and gets a classroom-ready output every time.
No curriculum scaffolding.
ChatGPT doesn't know what 2nd Year Science means or how a Junior Cycle specification is structured. Teachmate is built around the Irish curriculum from the first prompt.
No group admin console.
ChatGPT Edu gives you organisation-level admin, but no per-school adoption reporting, no time-saved dashboards, no school-to-school benchmarking, no board data.
No named community manager.
Teachmate gives every ETB and trust a dedicated, ex-teacher community manager who runs your in-service, supports launch in every school, and picks up the phone. You get a chatbot from the alternative.
Different price point.
ChatGPT Edu sits in a different (higher) cost bracket. Teachmate offers a single annual group-wide price designed for whole-ETB or whole-trust deployment, not just power users.
One DPA, one invoice, one supplier
Teachmate is purpose-built for school and ETB procurement and compliance – GDPR processor terms, procurement-ready documentation and one annual euro invoice - not retrofitted from a global consumer product.
Bring Teachmate to every school in your ETB or trust.
Used by 2,400+ UK and International schools and trusts and 440,000+ users. One group console, one DPA and one annual invoice - with a real human support team, not a chatbot.

- We never train our models on school or pupil data
- Cyber Essentials (UK government-backed) certified today; ISO 27001 in progress
- Dedicated group community manager (ex-teacher)

What trust leaders ask before rollout.
Straight answers about procurement, governance, implementation and academy-level control.
Can ETB or groups of schools buy Teachmate?
Yes. We support purchases for multiple schools. ETBs and other groups should contact our team to discuss licence numbers, central billing and the most suitable rollout. Buying as a trust or group of schools makes the per licence count cheaper for schools. Talk to the team.
How is whole-school pricing presented?
Whole-school pricing depends on the number of staff licences required and is presented as an annual total for the school. Schools and trusts can use our pricing page or contact us for the appropriate package.
How does a school manage staff licences?
After a school purchase is processed, the purchaser becomes the school group manager or they can appoint a manager. The management panel lets that person assign or reassign licences to staff email addresses.
What oversight does a school administrator receive?
Our school offering includes a management panel and information about product use and reported time saved, as well as top users. This gives leaders visibility of adoption. We will not provide individual teacher usage or tool data.
Does Teachmate support single sign-on?
Yes. School customers can use Google OpenID Connect or Microsoft Azure AD/OpenID Connect for single sign-on after a school administrator configures it. We receive an authentication token and user identifier, not the user's password.
Does Teachmate use sub-processors?
Yes. We use specialist service providers to deliver parts of our service. We maintain the current sub-processor list, including purpose and processing location, in Annex B of our Data Processing Agreement. View the current agreement.
Can a school request evidence about Teachmate's compliance measures?
Yes. We provide reasonably necessary compliance information on request. This may include relevant certifications, questionnaires or summaries of technical and organisational measures before any audit is considered.
