What it is

Rubrical is a web-based AI teaching platform for geography departments. Teachers can upload PDF, Word, or image assessments and mark schemes, or create rubrics themselves. It marks answers criterion by criterion against the selected rubric, presents reasoning and evidence, and drafts feedback; a teacher approves every mark and feedback item before delivery to students or writing to an LMS. Rubrical also drafts specification-aligned objectives, timed lessons, and tiered resources grounded in checkable sources. Approved results produce assessment-objective breakdowns, question-difficulty rankings, at-risk flags, misconception heatmaps, and plain-English queries. Work can come from Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, scans, or student hand-in links. It supports AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas, and user rubrics. Feedback can be simplified, enlarged, shown in OpenDyslexic, or translated. Core school data is stored in London. Rubrical says student and learning-platform data are not used to improve AI models. Pricing is available by contacting the team.
