Learning platform for SMART schools.
Castle is an earlier platform we built and continue to operate — a collaborative LMS for SMART schools, with attainment-based evaluation expressed through 'I Can' statements rather than marks. Retained here for reference and active customers.
Marks summarise. They don’t explain.
Marks summarise; they don't explain
A number ranked against a class tells a parent the result. It does not tell a student which learning objective they need more time on.
Per-objective tracking is manual
Class teachers cannot, by hand, track attainment per learning objective per student across every subject, every term — and then act on it.
Resources scatter
Teaching materials sit across email threads, personal drives and physical folders. Nothing persists across cohorts or teaching seasons.
Parent communication is reactive
Updates land at report-card time, depending on individual teacher capacity. There is no continuous, structured channel between school and home.
No longitudinal view of strengths
Schools lack a multi-year picture of student strengths and gaps across domains and skills — only term-by-term snapshots.
Five capabilities that turn schooling into continuous, holistic evaluation.
Curriculum delivery with 'I Can' statements
Curriculum mapped to specific learning objectives, expressed as 'I Can' statements students can see in their own words — attainment, not just a score.
Multi-school administration
One platform, many schools. Role-based access for learners, teachers, parents and administrators. Customised dashboards per role, per school.
Learning analytics
Longitudinal tracking of attainment per objective, per student, across cohorts. Detailed reports on performance and classroom trends — beyond scores.
Offline-first deployment
Designed to operate in low-bandwidth and intermittently connected environments — sync when online, function fully when not.
Integration with state platforms
Connectors and exports aligned with state education programmes. Reports, registers and student data flow into the systems schools already report into.
Built for state programmes and the networks they run on.
Runs on standard school IT — web browsers on classroom PCs, low-spec laptops and tablets, with a mobile app for students and parents on Android and iOS.
Castle web application, mobile app and offline sync runtime. Hosted by IDEA or deployed inside customer infrastructure for state programmes.
Works in low-bandwidth and intermittently connected environments. Offline-first design — local cache, queued sync, conflict-aware merges.
Role-based access, audit log, encryption at rest and in transit. Suitable for state education programmes with student-data residency requirements.
Where the engineering bar now lives — in our current platforms.
Bhaasha
Sovereign translation and transcription — the language layer for multilingual student, teacher and parent communications across state programmes.
Housing & Urban AI
Our active public-sector platform — SAP S/4HANA companion modules for urban governance. The same engineering posture we bring to state programmes.
Continuous evaluation — not just continuous grading.
Castle remains under active operation for state education programmes and SMART-school operators that adopted it. New deployments are considered on a case-by-case basis.
