The questions Heads of English actually ask.

Writeiq is for English teachers and Heads of English in Years 3 to 12, and for the school leaders who sit alongside them and want to see what the writing data is saying across cohorts.

It was built in Australian schools first. The primary and secondary content libraries are written separately, the curriculum alignment covers nine frameworks (Victorian, Australian, IB, VCE, NESA, QCAA, SCSA, UK), and the moderation language assumes how Australian faculties actually work.

If you teach English, lead an English faculty, or are responsible for whole-school literacy, Writeiq is built for you.

Yes. Student writing is hosted in Australia (AWS Sydney), encrypted at rest with AES-256, and never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.

Edsthetic complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. We sign Data Processing Agreements with schools that need them, and our subprocessor list is public. The detail is on the security page, including incident response, data deletion, and the staff training programme.

If your procurement team has questions we have not answered there, email us and we will respond within a working day.

Four enrolment tiers per product. Writeiq starts at $3,600 a year for a school of up to 300 students; Allocateiq at $2,400. Bundle the two and save approximately 25%. All prices exclude GST.

The full breakdown is at /pricing — including a buyer-led calculator for your school's size and the complete feature matrix per tier.

Pilot schools pay nothing for the first term, and lock in the lowest pricing afterwards.

No, and we have built it on the assumption that you wouldn't want it to. Writeiq scores writing against the IWAF rubric and surfaces patterns across a class or cohort. Teachers retain the final word on every score and every piece of feedback.

The work the platform handles is the consistent dimension-by-dimension scoring and the writing of dozens of similar comments — the parts of marking that drain the week. The judgement work, the sitting with the piece, the conversation with the student, the moderation meeting, all of that stays with the teacher. That is where it belongs.

If anything, Writeiq makes moderation conversations easier, because the whole faculty is now looking at writing through the same lens.

Roughly 60 to 90 seconds per piece for a typed submission. Scanned handwriting takes longer because Vision has to transcribe first — usually under three minutes for a Year 9 piece.

Teachers in the Riverside College pilot reported saving 8 to 12 hours of marking time per assessment cycle compared to marking by hand. That is not the headline; the headline is what you do with those hours. Most of them tell us they spend more time on the students who need the conference, less time on the students who don't.

This number will firm up after Term 3 2026, when we run a structured survey across pilot schools and publish the result with a third-party evaluator footnote.

Adjust it. Every dimension score and every comment is editable before you save. Your edit becomes the final record — the saved score is the score you decided on, not the one Writeiq suggested.

We log overrides quietly in the background, not as a check on you, but so that we can see where the platform's judgement and the faculty's judgement diverge. Over time, those overrides feed back into the way the rubric is calibrated and the way feedback is written. Your override does not make the score wrong — it makes the score yours.

Yes. Writeiq supports nine curriculum frameworks across primary and secondary: Victorian Curriculum 2.0, Australian Curriculum v9, IB MYP, IB PYP, VCE, NESA (NSW), QCAA (Queensland), SCSA (Western Australia), and the UK National Curriculum.

Choose your framework once at the school level. The IWAF bands map onto your curriculum's achievement standards and language, so the report a Year 8 English teacher sees uses the descriptors and codes their school actually reports against. The full mapping is at /band-framework-correlation.

If your school uses a framework we do not yet support, tell us. The mapping work is bounded and we can usually add a framework within a term if there is a school waiting on it.

Writeiq is formative, not summative. It does not replace VCAA marking, and it does not replace NAPLAN scoring. Nothing in Writeiq counts towards a student's official mark anywhere.

What it does is tell you, much earlier than NAPLAN can, where the cohort is weakest. If a Year 7 group is consistently low on Text Structure but strong on Vocabulary, you know what to teach in the back half of the term, not after the results come back the following year.

For VCE, the value is the same. Writeiq doesn't give the official VCE grade, but it gives the teacher a reliable read on the dimensions VCAA assesses, weeks before the SAC.

Pilot first. One full term, free, no commitment to continue. We work directly with the lead teacher or Head of English — not a support queue — and we are honest about what is in beta.

The pilot ends with a conversation about whether to continue commercially. Pilot schools lock in the lowest pricing tier when they do, and a few have stayed at the pilot rate for the first commercial year as a thank-you for the early feedback.

To apply, fill out the form at the pilot section on the homepage. We respond inside two working days.

Two ways, depending on what you need.

To see how the platform behaves with realistic data, the Riverside College demo school is fully populated — classes, students, sample submissions, leadership analytics, the whole picture. Open /apps/writeiq and use the demo licence key (we will share it on request, or it is in the Pilot Welcome Pack at /help).

To trial it with your own staff and students, that is the pilot. Free for a term, your data, your school, real classroom use. Apply here.
