AI Batch Marking for Teachers
A class set of mock papers can take a full evening — or even a weekend — to mark properly. Generate whole-class marking against the real mark scheme in minutes in minutes, aligned to the spec and tier you actually teach.
The AI Batch Marking exists because a class set of mock papers can take a full evening — or even a weekend — to mark properly. Batch Marking processes the whole class in one go, returning individual feedback per student plus a class-level breakdown of where marks were lost. Most teachers we speak to spend several hours a week on this single task; OES collapses that to minutes without losing the professional judgement that makes the output usable in a real classroom.
Outputs are editable from the first second. Each student gets the same depth of feedback the strongest in the class would normally get from you — without the time cost. You can adjust tone, tier and length, swap activities, rewrite a single question, or regenerate sections without redoing the whole document — so the AI is a strong first draft, not a black box.
Marking is calibrated to the published mark scheme and surfaces class-wide misconceptions automatically. That spec-alignment is what separates OES from a general AI chatbot: every output is built around the GCSE, A-Level or IB syllabus you actually teach, with command-word patterns, mark-scheme conventions and language that examiners reward.
Department-friendly by design. You can save, reuse and share outputs across colleagues, standardise quality between classes, and use the Batch Marking as a shared baseline for trainees and ECTs without losing your house style.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Batch Marking take?
Most class sets are marked in a few minutes from upload. The slowest part is usually scanning or uploading the papers, not the marking itself.
Can I override AI marks?
Yes. Every mark is editable, and overrides are reflected in both the student's feedback and the class-level dashboard.
Does it work with extended responses (6-mark, 9-mark)?
Yes. Both points-based and levels-based mark schemes are supported, including extended response questions across GCSE, A-Level and IB.
Will I get class-level insights, not just individual marks?
Yes. The Class Insights dashboard surfaces which questions and topics the class struggled with most, so you know exactly what to re-teach.
Can I share the data with my department?
Yes. Class and cohort data can be exported and shared across your team for standardisation and intervention planning.
