We want to see a world where the careful application of advanced technology brings about savings that can be reinvested into the areas that matter most in education.

We believe that Artificial Intelligence has massive potential for good and will improve the efficiency of our work in schools and MATs, but that it needs to be deployed sensitively and with appropriate safeguards in place.

We strive to work with our partners in the sector to help them leverage our technologies to save time and money and to strengthen governance.

Scriba was born out of the education sector, and we stay true to our roots! 

That means that we work with you to deploy and roll out our systems across your school or MAT.  We’ve designed it to be easy-to-use and intuitive but we know that with change comes questions and the need for support. 

That's why we're always here to listen, guide and make things better, together.

Scriba was founded as a solution to the problem of finding the time and resource to clerk the many meetings that take place across schools and MATs.  A conversation at the school gates led to an initial pilot to see whether AI could help schools approach governance more efficiently by doing the heavy lifting around transcription and minuting in a way that would free up the time of clerks and governance professionals. 

On the strength of the results of the pilot programme, Scriba was born, bringing the power of AI to the service of schools and MATs across the UK. 

'Scriba' - as you may have guessed - is Latin for clerk. But, just like the role itself, the word has more meaning than at first appears. 

In the Roman Republic, the Scriba was much more than a note-taker - they were a highly respected individual drawn from the non-aristocratic ranks of society who had excellent knowledge of law, process and government. Several Scribae achieved great reknown and influence.

We believe that the provenance of the name reflects the depth of the role - and it's something we're committed to upholding across the sector and beyond.
