Real Fast Reports was born out of the shared vision of two seasoned educators: Peter Gravell and Angela Newton. Their unique blend of experience and expertise has been instrumental in shaping and driving our mission.

The Founders

Peter, an Oxford University Physics graduate, has taught in top UK state and independent schools, and has experience as a Head of Science at an international school.

Angela graduated top of her class in Chemistry at Durham University before starting her teaching career with Teach First. She was Head of Science at a leading UK independent school and has since brought her skills and insights to shape education policy through working at the Department for Education, UK.

The Challenge of Teacher Workload

Amid a growing teacher workload crisis, report writing stands out as a perennial burden. This responsibility often spills into evenings and weekends, amplifying fatigue and contributing to the difficulties schools encounter in retaining their teachers. It's a daunting task for exhausted educators to produce meaningful, personalised feedback for their many students. This not only impacts teacher wellbeing but also risks undermining the essential dialogue between teachers, students, and parents.

The Value of Personalised Reports

Despite the demanding process, the founders deeply understand and champion the significance of well-crafted reports. As parents themselves, they experience the joy of receiving reports that truly reflect their children's personalities. This not only demonstrates the teacher's understanding and care but also fosters trust and respect, encouraging parents to engage with their child's learning.

A Game-Changing Solution

In 2022, a breakthrough in AI technology called GPT-3 offered an opportunity to revolutionise report writing. While exploring its capabilities, Peter and Angela realised its potential for transforming school reports. Within months, they developed a prototype and validated its appeal and effectiveness through user testing. In summer 2022, they made history by launching Real Fast Reports, the world's first school report writing tool powered by AI.

A Major Milestone

By summer 2023, Real Fast Reports has already helped teachers write over 100,000 reports, a milestone that we're incredibly proud of. Amidst emerging competition, our focus on quality and personalisation sets us apart. We're dedicated to enabling teachers to produce excellent, insightful reports that resonate with parents and students.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain deeply committed to our initial vision. We envision a future where report writing is not a burden but an efficient, rewarding experience for teachers. We are grateful for the trust and support we've received so far and are excited for the journey that lies ahead.
