Inspired Education Group, the leading global group of premium schools, has announced the results of a pilot programme of AI technology in everyday teaching and learning for secondary school students.

In a national first, the programme, which saw the Inspired AI platform used by pilot group of 160 students at BSB, has demonstrating that participating students saw an improvement in performance of 4.6 percentage points on average.

The success of the pilot means Inspired AI will continue to be rolled out to the wider BSB school community.

The Inspired AI platform leverages artificial intelligence to create bespoke ‘pathways’ for students across both their classwork and homework, whilst at the same time providing real-time analytics and recommendations to both teachers and parents.

Inspired AI uses initial ‘diagnostic’ testing to assess an individual student’s respective strengths and weaknesses and, using this data, then creates tailored exercises and modules for each student across subjects including English, Maths and Science.

These individualised ‘pathways’ ensure a student’s specific weaknesses are addressed and improved upon, whilst at the same time further amplifying their strengths across each subject.

Notably, students involved in the broader international study saw, on average, the greatest improvement in performance across Biology, 10.6 percentage points, and Chemistry, 9.4 percentage points.

John Maguire, Executive Headmaster, British School of Bahrain, said, “The British School of Bahrain has an enviable reputation for innovation and adopting technology to support learning.

This ethos has strengthened our position as the leading British school within the country.

Embracing AI aligns with the Kingdom of Bahrain’s unrivalled commitment to educational excellence, especially with Bahrain holding the region’s longest-established education system.

We can see a glimpse into the future of education, where innovation drives us towards greater academic achievement, and we’re excited to see what more we can do with it in the future.” In its everyday usage in schools, the Inspired AI platform serves three primary purposes.

Firstly, accelerating learning for students through intelligent personalisation.

Secondly, the platform also reduces the workload for teachers, particularly in terms of marking, analysis, and resource creation.
