Gyldendal – Talk With the Book

Snakk med boken (“Talk with the book”) is a world-leading safeguarding solution co-developed by Ludenso and Gyldendal. Students increasingly turn to generic AI for homework and revision, exposing them to misinformation, unsafe content, and privacy risks. Snakk med boken solves this by embedding a trusted AI tutor directly into Gyldendal’s textbooks and curriculum via Skolestudio, used by half of Norwegian K-12 students.

Powered by a state-of-the-art RAG system, every AI response is anchored in the textbook and flagged by the Source Validator when content falls outside it. This dual safeguard makes study safe, transparent, and curriculum-fit, while teaching learners critical source awareness. Teachers and parents can be assured that pupils engage within a safeguarded environment, protected from data leakage and misinformation.

By transforming AI from a risky shortcut into a safe study partner, Snakk med boken empowers students to learn responsibly while setting a new global benchmark for safeguarding in education.

Blackout Education

Blackout is a patented technology designed to eliminate smartphone distractions in schools at their root. Installed on student devices, it automatically disables non-essential apps during school hours, while still allowing SMS and traditional phone calls. This ensures parents can always reach their children in emergencies, but students are freed from the pull of social media, camera function and games when they should be focused on learning.

At a time when teenage mental health is under unprecedented strain, and with several countries already banning smartphones in schools, Blackout provides a practical and enforceable solution. Unlike lockable pouches or blanket bans, Blackout is flexible: schools set the hours, and the app ensures compliance without conflict.

Beyond blocking distractions, Blackout equips schools with powerful analytics on device usage, enabling leaders to enforce policies consistently and make evidence-based decisions. The result is a calmer, more focused learning environment where teachers can teach and students can thrive.

Most importantly, Blackout helps break the cycle of endless scrolling. By removing digital distractions during the school day, it inspires young people to re-engage with sport, drama, art, and face-to-face friendships – fostering healthier, happier, and more active lifestyles that last a lifetime.

Yondr

The link between smartphones, social media, and poor mental health in teenagers is well established. Almost 50% of teens spend over 21 hours a week on devices, and a recent NIHR study found that 90% of 13–16-year-olds have tried to limit their smartphone use. Teens who self-report problematic use are twice as likely to be anxious and three times more likely to be depressed than their peers. Esther Ghey, a leading advocate for safer schools says: “Reducing access to smartphones during the school day can help prevent bullying, improve focus, and support better mental health. It’s a simple step that could make a big difference.”

Since 2014, Yondr has led the global phone-free schools movement, helping over 250,000 UK students and 2.5 million US students to thrive in school. Combining a magnetic lockable pouch with a hands-on support programme, Yondr helps schools embed a phone-free culture.

The impact is measurable: Ryde Academy saw phone-related incidents drop 90%, and cyberbullying fall 63%. The John Wallis School experienced a 75% reduction in truancy and an 80% drop in online safeguarding incidents. With Yondr, students report feeling happier, more engaged, and less stressed while teachers enjoy calmer classrooms and increased focus from students.

Ransom Publishing – Reading Stars Achieve Phonics

Reading Stars Achieve Phonics is a collection 98 fully decodable books that accelerate the literacy results of struggling readers in KS2/KS3.

Distinct in their age-appropriate content that really understands and appeals to these learners, many of whom are disaffected readers who need to be “won around”, these creative books also dare to help learners tackle more than just phonics knowledge.

The texts are simultaneously written to do things like build reading stamina, aid automaticity, provide opportunities to read with prosody, develop broader literacy skills (i.e. the skills typically addressed in a good Book Band programme).

Packaged up in a dyslexia-friendly design that supports all weaker readers, the diverse books have achieved incredible results.

Meanwhile, teachers have enjoyed Ransom’s unparalleled expertise and attentive customer support. This includes their provision of invaluable free supporting resources, like time-saving pre-prepared guided reading lesson plans and running reading record assessments for every title.

It’s unsurprising that when ten randomly selected customers were asked “on a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to recommend Reading Stars Achieve Phonics to other schools?” they got an average of 9.4/10.

Arbor Education

At Arbor, we’re on a mission to transform how schools and trusts work. That means we never develop “AI for AI’s sake.” We start with schools’ real problems, focusing on the tasks that consume the most time, and work hand-in-hand with schools at every stage of development. Our particular focus is on reducing the admin burden for back-office staff and leaders.

In our 2025 survey of 9,956 Arbor users, customers told us that Arbor’s AI features save an average of 70 minutes per staff member, per week, which equates to 45 hours per year (over a whole working week) per staff member.

In this entry, we’ve highlighted two of our innovations from the past year:

– Auto Absence transcribes, translates, codes and logs absence calls, cutting a two-hour daily task to 30 minutes, improving safeguarding

– Ask Arbor, our in-MIS AI assistant. Built on top of each school’s data, Ask Arbor is uniquely positioned to answer questions and build reports unique to that school, saving leaders at least one hour a week.

To make sure every feature we create answers a genuine workload problem, all our AI development is grounded in co-creation with schools.

FlashAcademy®

FlashAcademy® is transforming English as an Additional Language (EAL) support by tackling one of education’s biggest challenges: teacher workload. In schools with large numbers of multilingual learners, assessment has traditionally been repetitive, slow, and a major drain on teacher time.

FlashAcademy® combines an EAL learning app with a digital assessment platform, already adopted by over 2,400 schools and 700,000 learners worldwide. Its breakthrough innovation is the AI reviewer, the first of its kind for EAL. The system analyses responses instantly, identifies partially correct answers, and produces clear summaries for teachers to review. This ensures teachers stay in control, while saving an average of 150 hours per school every year. Across FlashAcademy® schools, that adds up to over 280,000 hours of teacher capacity released annually.

The benefits go beyond time savings. Consistent assessment and reporting across year groups give leadership teams clarity on progress and help shape whole-school strategies. Unlimited teacher licences mean every teacher can support EAL learners, while simple PDF reports make it easy to share progress with parents.

By combining measurable workload reduction with ethical, transparent AI, FlashAcademy® is helping schools focus more time on high-quality teaching and accelerating learner progress at scale.

Snapplify

Snapplify’s Book Buddy AI is redefining teaching and assessment by transforming physical textbooks into interactive, multilingual, AI-powered learning companions. We launched in South Africa, one of the most challenging education contexts globally, where classrooms are often overcrowded, underfunded, and multilingual, and where many schools still rely on English-only physical textbooks that cannot easily be replaced.

Book Buddy bridges this gap by allowing learners to scan or reference their textbooks and receive explanations, summaries, and quizzes in their mother tongue. For learners from underprivileged backgrounds who struggle with English, this is a breakthrough — ensuring that existing resources are more inclusive and accessible. Teachers benefit too, saving hours each week through instant quiz and lesson generation, while analytics provide visibility into learner needs.

In 2025, Book Buddy AI was rolled out to 60,000 Grade 12 learners in Mpumalanga, a diverse province in northeast South Africa. For students preparing for the National Senior Certificate exams, this means equitable access to personalised support at scale — one of the largest AI deployments in African education.

Proven in Africa’s toughest classrooms, Book Buddy AI demonstrates global potential: if it can work here, it can work anywhere.
