Skilly maps to the CCEA curriculum — PDMU at primary and Learning for Life and Work at post-primary — and runs in Northern Ireland mode: NI Key Stages and year numbering, PDMU/LLW strands, and the Designated Teacher safeguarding route. Pupils write short reflections after each lesson; the AI drafts warm formative feedback and flags any safeguarding signal; the teacher always has the final word. The result is a structured, evidenced personal-development programme — not more paperwork.

Early access — honest about where we are. The CCEA mapping (PDMU, LLW, NI Key Stages) is complete and the platform runs fully in NI mode today — you can try it in the live demo below. We're completing a fluent-specialist review of the NI-specific content before we call it generally available, so we're onboarding a small number of design-partner schools first. Join them and shape it.
Built around the NI Curriculum — not England's
The Skilly Northern Ireland programme
Each maps to shipped Skilly capability, running in NI mode today.
Primary Foundation–KS2 · Post-primary KS3–KS4
Skilly's lessons are mapped to the CCEA Areas of Learning — PDMU's two primary strands and LLW's post-primary strands (Personal Development, Local & Global Citizenship, Employability, Home Economics). In NI mode the platform reads in NI's terms: PDMU/LLW strands, NI Key Stages and the NI year numbering (P1 at age 4).
Designated Teacher · HSC Trust Gateway · PSNI
Every reflection is AI-scanned for a safeguarding signal the instant it's submitted. NI mode frames it correctly: the Designated Teacher (DT) for child protection — not a DSL or DLP — with referral to the local Health & Social Care (HSC) Trust Gateway Service and/or the PSNI. UK crisis services are surfaced (Childline, Lifeline, Samaritans). The RSE parental-excusal mechanism is enforced per pupil.
Self-evaluation · governor reporting
Every reflection counts toward your pastoral and personal-development evidence. The AI School Summary writes the headline; per-class and whole-school dashboards show engagement and the wellbeing picture; it all exports for self-evaluation and your Board of Governors pack. The teacher reads what each pupil actually wrote — the evidence is a by-product of good teaching, not extra admin.
Cross-school partnerships · per-school environments
Each school runs its own ring-fenced environment — no data crosses between schools. Where controlled, maintained and integrated schools work together through shared-education partnerships, Skilly gives each a consistent pastoral model and evidence base while keeping every school's data its own.
How schools fund it
🏫 Core & delegated budget
PDMU and LLW are statutory, so the teaching resource that delivers them is core spend. Skilly replaces scattered worksheets with a single CCEA-mapped, evidenced programme a school can run from its delegated budget.
🤝 Pastoral & wellbeing priorities
A structured reflection programme that lifts belonging and emotional wellbeing supports a school's pastoral care and Emotional Health & Wellbeing priorities — with the data to show it working.
Honestly: we don't build a pitch on a specific short-term grant. Skilly is funded the way statutory pastoral provision usually is — from core and delegated budgets.
🔒 Data protection & residency — answered up front
A UK-law Data Processing Agreement is provided for signature during onboarding.
Pricing

In England? England follows the DfE statutory RSHE (2025) and PSHE, with the DSL and MASH safeguarding route — a different curriculum and regime. See Skilly for England.
