The Vicerta platform

Three surfaces.
One vision.

Software that understands what schools actually do — built one piece at a time, in close collaboration with the schools using it.

Live

Pencil

The AI assistant teachers actually use. 35+ tools across lesson planning, differentiation, assessment, communication, and behaviour support.

Visit pencil.vicerta.com

Lesson planning

Generate full lessons in 30 seconds — UK-curriculum-aware, year-group calibrated, ready to teach.

Differentiation

Adapt any task for any ability level. SEND-friendly variants, EAL-aware language, scaffolded supports.

Assessment

Quizzes, rubrics, mark schemes, DOK questions — generated, exportable, and ready for marking.

Communication

Parent emails, behaviour notes, school reports — drafted in seconds, edited in your voice.

In development

Vicerta LMS

A school management system, rebuilt for how schools actually work in 2026.

The Vicerta LMS replaces the patchwork of registers, gradebooks, parent portals and timetables that schools currently stitch together — with one platform built around the real workflows of teachers, heads, students and parents.

AI is woven through it: a schedule generator that respects part-time staff, a dropout-risk model that integrates with your SIS, parent communication that drafts itself.

We're building this with a cohort of design partner schools through 2026, with broader availability in 2027.
