Introduction
We are thrilled to announce that TopSchool has been shortlisted for the National AI Awards 2025 in the Education & Learning category. This recognition represents more than a nomination—it validates our mission to build the intelligent infrastructure for tomorrow’s education system.

Why This Shortlisting Matters
Education is at a crossroads. On one hand, teachers face increasing workloads, administrative burdens, and pressure to deliver personalised instruction at scale. On the other hand, technology offers powerful new opportunities—but only when deployed responsibly.
Our platform, Personalised Learning AI Technology (PLAT™), addresses this challenge directly. By integrating AI into the core of schools’ infrastructure, we make it possible to deliver personalisation at scale while ensuring teachers remain in control. This shortlisting validates our vision: AI should amplify human teaching, not compete with it.
Impact Already Visible in Schools
- Time savings for teachers — freeing them from repetitive tasks so they can focus on pedagogy.
- Improved student engagement — with learning experiences adapted to each learner’s pace and style.
- Deeper personalisation at scale — making it possible for schools to deliver differentiated instruction without additional burden.
Governments and institutions are beginning to recognise PLAT™ as the foundation for system-wide transformation, ensuring that education systems can evolve responsibly and inclusively.
Voices from Our Community
“Being shortlisted for the National AI Awards is a testament to the courage of schools and educators worldwide who are embracing innovation. This recognition belongs to them as much as to us, and it strengthens our resolve to make personalised education a reality for every learner.”

Looking Ahead
The awards ceremony will take place on 16 October 2025. Over the next month, we’ll be sharing stories, insights, and updates about how TopSchool is shaping the future of education. No matter the outcome, this shortlisting confirms that our approach—co-intelligence between humans and AI—is the right path forward.
On the very same day, we are proud to announce the roll-out of TopSchool 2.0 for all our teacher users—a refreshed platform designed to make daily teaching faster, simpler, and more empowering.

The future of education will not be defined by technology alone, but by how technology supports teachers and empowers students. Our shortlisting at the National AI Awards 2025, alongside the launch of TopSchool 2.0, marks an important step toward that vision. Together, we are building smarter systems, stronger schools, and brighter futures.
