Synthetic working data

Explore the starter data

We used AI-assisted research to investigate the published sources, then created 18 non-sensitive synthetic records shaped by what those sources expose. It is starter data for exploration—not real service data or evidence.

Read the note on this dataset

Eighteen invented lesson objectives standing in for the rough notes a teacher writes before a lesson, so drafting and feedback support can be looked at without using anyone's real planning or any pupil's work.

Every record in the file

Inspect, compare, understand

Use 18 synthetic lesson objectives to explore curriculum-aware drafting without using material from a real class. Switch views without losing the description, source file, or limitations on this page.

Synthetic working data

AI-assisted research helped identify and interpret the published sources. We then created a small, non-sensitive synthetic dataset shaped by the information those sources expose. It is for exploration—not evidence, training, or operational decisions.

Method note

How it was prepared

AI authored fictional planning notes across key stages and curriculum subjects, including one unfinished objective.

Conditions for use

What this dataset cannot tell you

  • The objectives were invented here, not collected from teachers, so they show a plausible starting point rather than how planning is really written in any school.
  • There is no pupil work in the file at all, which means the feedback half of this example cannot be tried on it.
  • Eighteen notes across three key stages is far too thin to represent the range of subjects, settings, and support needs in Northern Ireland classrooms.
  • It is invented. No record describes a real person, place, case, or measurement, and no result computed from it is evidence that anything works in a live service.
