For schools
You’re the one who inherits the dispute.
Teachers pick up Loam because it ends the argument with a detector score. But when an integrity case escalates (a parent meeting, a formal complaint, an appeal) it stops being a classroom question and lands on your desk. What matters then isn’t the tool one teacher liked. It’s whether the school still holds the evidence, and on what terms.
From $250 / quarter + GST. The whole schedule is public.
Five reasons this becomes a school decision.
- 01
The records should outlast the teacher who made them.
On a free account, every sealed draft, replay and verification lives in one teacher's personal login. That's exactly right for one teacher: it's their classroom. It stops being right the day they change schools and last year's disputed essay goes with them. A School workspace belongs to the school: teachers come and go, and the records stay where the accountability sits.
- 02
Your privacy review shouldn't need a discovery process.
A school whose student writing flows through a patchwork of personal accounts has no agreement to point at when a parent (or the department) asks who holds the data and on what terms. The School plan is the governed version: a data-processing agreement, a published subprocessor register, collection notices you can hand to families, hosting in the customer-selected region (Sydney, Frankfurt or N. Virginia), and a security page written for the people who sign off. The paperwork exists so your review is short.
- 03
School admins can see adoption without guesswork.
School analytics show students, teachers, active classes, assignments and submissions, plus recent activity, replays and verification coverage. Teacher and class views make it easier to see where Loam is in use and where support may be needed.
- 04
Nobody should maintain class lists by hand.
School admins can invite one person, paste rows from a spreadsheet, or upload a CSV or text file. Each invitation can carry a teacher or student role, while school admin access is granted separately and deliberately.
- 05
Appeals season is longer than a school year.
Free accounts keep evidence for 12 months from hand-in: honest, and long enough for one teacher's classroom. Schools answer to a records policy measured in years: appeals, reviews, the complaint that resurfaces long after the class has moved on. A School workspace keeps evidence to your policy (seven years by default, configurable) so the answer to “can you still prove it?” stays yes.
Already have teachers on free accounts?
That’s how most schools discover Loam, and it’s by design: teachers choose the tool, schools own the records. Nothing should change until the ownership boundary is clear. If teachers already use Loam, talk to us before creating duplicate classes or accounts. We will review the current setup and explain the available rollout path before anything changes.
If a few names in your staffroom come to mind as you read this, talk to us. It’s a short conversation.
The price is on the page. So is everything else.
Graduated per-student rates, worked totals at real school sizes, and a calculator that shows its arithmetic. No call required to learn what it costs. And when your privacy office has questions, we’d rather answer them before you sign than after.
