A school in the Yorkshire Dales is trialling the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to mark students' mock exams.

Wensleydale School is thought to be one of the only schools in the north of England to implement the technology.

Headteacher Julia Polley said AI could give pupils more detailed feedback quickly and without any bias that a teacher might have by knowing the student personally.

In the short term, she said it had increased teacher workload rather than cut it because they had still been marking alongside the technology.

The school became aware of a company which was trialling AI marking in English, history, geography and business, which tend to be subjects with longer answers.
