Who this is for

Nobody around a child knows the whole of them

You see the homework at the kitchen table. Their teacher sees them in a class of thirty. They know which bit they actually understood.

An illustration: four children stand along a green ground line — one reading a book, one holding up a toy rocket, one holding a leaf, one writing in a notepad — with a large calm elephant standing among them.

At a glance

Who sees what, and who writes what

Your family owns the record throughout. The student and parent lenses are built; the teacher and school ones are designed and marked below.

Person	Sees	Writes
Student	Today's work, what helps them, their own progress	How a task went, self-assessment, goals
Parent	Trends, development areas, and the evidence behind each one	Profile, results, homework, observations
Teacher Planned	Would see their own pupils, class patterns, who needs support this week	Observations, assessments, feedback
School Planned	Would see the cohort it teaches, for planning support	—

The student

Opens it and finds today, not a verdict

Your child sees what to do next and what has helped before. Not development areas — and not because a screen hides them. The server does not send them.

A seven-year-old should not open an app about themselves and find a list of their weaknesses. That harm gets built by accident, when one page is reused for everybody.

The record is written about them from five. They will gain rights over it at thirteen and full control at eighteen.

The parent

Holds the record, and can check every word of it

The record belongs to your family, and every claim in it opens onto the work it was drawn from — so you can read that rather than argue with a summary.

What you write stays as you wrote it. “The school mentioned dyslexia today” is your family recording its own life — the guard runs over what EleMate writes, never over what you do.

You writeResults, homework, and what you noticed at the time.

You checkThe work under every claim, whenever you want it.

You deleteAll of it, in one go, with nothing kept back.

The teacher

Planned

Will see their own class, and never a league table of it

There are no classes in EleMate today. A teacher would get their own pupils, and one view answering one question: who needs me this week.

What it must never become is an input. The moment a claim about a seven-year-old is derived from the other twenty-nine in the room, it stops being about them and starts being about where they sit — the sentence that follows a child up the school.

An illustration: an elephant standing beside a school building with a clock tower, a tree and two clouds.

The school

Planned

Would get the cohort it teaches, for as long as it teaches them

A school needs its own cohort to plan support. That is real, and it is what we intend to build next — no school can reach anything here yet.

Your family owns the record. A school would submit to it and read it under a grant that ends when it stops teaching your child. A grant, not a handover.
