Relay Relay Relay RELAY

Every student's confusion, heard. Every teacher, in the loop.

RELAY is an AI-powered EdTech tool for K–12 schools, built on learning science, not assumptions. It gives students the guardrails that research shows improve outcomes, and teachers the visibility they need without adding to their workload.

Our approach

5-Step Engagement
Framework

Every school that partners with RELAY moves through the same structured process. Each step builds on the last: collaborative, trust-centred, and grounded in evidence at every stage.

1

Understand Context

We interview stakeholders across the school, including leaders, teachers, and where appropriate, students, to map challenges, priorities, goals, culture, attitudes, and existing policy. No two schools are the same; this step ensures we design for yours.

Stakeholder interviews · Policy audit · Culture mapping

2

Collaboratively Design

We co-design a bespoke engagement journey with your team, for both teachers and students. The journey moves through three phases: Foundation, Fluency, and Future, each building capability before the next begins.

Foundation

Building shared understanding of the tool, the ethics behind it, and how staff and students will use it together.

Fluency

Moving from understanding to confident, everyday use in real classroom conditions.

Future

Embedding sustainable practice and preparing the school to adapt as needs and tools evolve.

Foundation → Fluency → Future

3

Pilot

We test with safeguards in place. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data, we refine the approach and measure real impact before any broader rollout. This is the phase pilot schools enter.

Controlled pilot · Data collection · Impact measurement

4

Implement & Adapt

Leader-led rollout with accountability champions embedded across departments. We review and refine continuously, building an ongoing relationship with the school rather than a one-off implementation.

Leader-led rollout · Accountability champions · Continuous review

5

Achieve Impact

Delivery of meaningful learning outcomes across the school. We workshop on trust across every stakeholder relationship, and audit trust levels to confirm the impact is real and lasting.

What makes RELAY different

Built differently,
by design.

01
No Grade · No Judgment

Purely formative. Students can admit what they don't understand without fear of a mark. That honesty is what makes their confusion visible, and worth listening to.

02
Student-Facing Pedagogy

Built on co-regulation and self-regulated learning, not productivity shortcuts, for students and the teachers guiding them. Designed for how people actually learn together.

03
Cross-Curricular, K–12

One consistent tool across every subject and year level. Not locked to maths or a single subject area.

04
School-Context Customisation

Shaped to your curriculum, ethos, and student cohort, not a one-size-fits-all subscription.

05
AI Implementation Strategy

The plan behind the tool. Guardrailed AI outperforms unrestricted AI by 127% (Bastani et al., 2025). The variable is always design.

Pilot programme

Apply as a
pilot school.

We're partnering with a small number of K–12 independent schools for our initial pilot. Pilot schools work directly with the EQV team through Steps 1–3 of our framework at a discounted rate, with pricing agreed before any work begins.

We're looking for schools that:

  • Are grappling with how to implement AI responsibly
  • Have leadership willing to be involved in the process
  • Want outcomes grounded in learning science, not hype
  • Are open to collaborative design, not just off-the-shelf tools
