Our Mission

Rubrical was born from a simple observation: geography teachers across the UK were spending too many evenings marking instead of teaching or enjoying their own time outside of class.

We set out to create an AI-powered assessment tool that could transform this reality. Our platform analyses student work against curriculum standards, providing detailed, personalised feedback while saving teachers precious time.

Backed by the Department for Education's £1 million AI tools initiative, we're building the future of educational assessment - one where teachers can teach more and mark less.

The Rubrical Story

From idea to innovation: how we're transforming geography assessment

The Challenge

We recognised that geography teachers were spending 6-10 hours every week marking, leaving little time for planning or work-life balance.

The Opportunity

In early 2024, the Department for Education announced a major initiative to develop AI tools for marking and feedback, with £1 million in funding for innovative solutions.

The Innovation

We developed an AI solution specifically for geography teachers that could analyse student work against curriculum standards with 92% accuracy using the DfE's quality-assured content library.

The Future

We're building a solution that will transform educational assessment, giving teachers back their time while providing better feedback for students - and changing education for the better.

Government Backed

Part of the UK's Educational AI Revolution

Rubrical is being developed as part of the Department for Education's £1 million initiative to create AI tools for marking and feedback. Our solution draws on the government's quality-assured library of educational content, ensuring up to 92% accuracy in assessment.

"These tools can drastically reduce the time teachers spend marking homework and assessments, whether it's geography charts, coding exercises, or written essays."
