How AskArk Works…
AskArk isn’t just another AI tool — it’s a school-specific co-pilot with intelligent systems designed to work your way.
Unlike generic AI platforms, AskArk comes with over 50 pre-built “Asks” — structured, school-ready prompts to deliver accurate, policy-aligned answers in seconds.

For safeguarding, SEND, SLT comms, parent letters, policies, and more.

High-quality outputs for your whole school to use — minus any prompt-writing guesswork.
Unlimited Custom Asks
That shape around your own templates, priorities, and planning structures.
Closed and GDPR Compliant AI

School-Specific Knowledge Base
AskArk becomes more accurate and more aligned to your school’s voice, values, and policies the more you use it.

The results? Outputs that sound and feel like they came from your own leadership team. (Not from a chatbot.)
