What is Starlight
Starlight is the UK’s first AI-powered coaching platform designed specifically for teachers. It transforms ordinary classroom audio into personalised, actionable feedback—delivered within minutes. Built to support reflection, not judgment, Starlight helps teachers grow in a way that’s private, professional, and purposeful.
Teachers simply upload a lesson recording. Starlight then analyses the audio and returns a coaching report highlighting strengths, areas for development, and next steps—grounded in evidence, not opinion.
​
Starlight is built on three core principles:
​
-
Insight, not surveillance
-
Coaching, not compliance
-
Growth, not grading
Born out of real classroom experience and developed with frontline educators, Starlight aims to make professional growth easy, consistent, and empowering—for every teacher, every day.
Our Mission
At STAR21, our mission is to reshape professional growth in education through insight, reflection, and thoughtfully designed technology. We believe that the best development isn’t driven by pressure or performance metrics—but by clarity, curiosity, and care.
​
That’s why we’ve built Starlight around the STAR principles of effective feedback: Specific, Timely, Actionable, and Regular.
​
Our goal is to support teachers, coaches, and school leaders in growing their practice in a way that feels human, respectful, and sustainable. Grounded in the belief that AI should amplify—not replace—human judgment, we’re building tools that unlock potential without adding to workload.
​
Starlight is built for educators who believe in coaching with integrity, using technology to enhance culture rather than control it. One lesson. One insight. One teacher at a time.
