Welcome to PPA Buddy Skool – a community for UK teachers who want to take back their time, protect their energy, and find smarter ways to manage the job we all love (and sometimes feel buried under). Teaching is full-on: the marking piles, endless planning, emails, data drops… it’s no wonder so many of us feel stretched.
Here, we keep things practical, safe, and teacher-friendly. You’ll find simple ways to use AI that actually make a dent in your workload — nothing techy, nothing overwhelming, just tools and ideas shaped for real UK classrooms. Everything we do is grounded in solid pedagogy, from Rosenshine’s principles to Bloom’s, so it feels familiar rather than futuristic.
This is a space to swap ideas, share wins, ask questions, and remember that we don’t have to shoulder the job alone. It’s supportive, down-to-earth, and genuinely helpful — the kind of staff room we always wish we had.
