All the tool guides

The short version

SEQTA is a learning management system for schools. Staff use SEQTA Teach. Students and parents have their own portals and apps, called SEQTA Learn and SEQTA Engage.^1,6
SEQTA was made by Education Horizons, which “became part of Tes in 2025”. SEQTA’s web pages and help centre now sit with Tes.^2,1,20
Its built-in AI is SEQTA AI Assist. It drafts lesson plans for teachers, and it sums up the feedback each student has received.⁵
Tes says AI Assist comes with a standard SEQTA subscription at no extra cost. A school administrator switches each part on or off.^5,7
Tes says lesson-plan drafting sends no personally identifiable information to the AI. It tells teachers never to type any into the AI fields.⁵
The feedback summaries draw on six months of teacher feedback about each student. Students see them in SEQTA Learn, and Tes says parents see them in SEQTA Engage.^7,4
We found no official SEQTA connection for ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini, and no SEQTA listing in any of their directories.^27,28,29,32
Tes’s own suggestion is to use AI tools alongside SEQTA with publicly available curriculum content, “without any need to share a school’s protected data”.²⁵
Tes doesn’t name the AI model behind AI Assist or say where it runs. Its Australian terms say school data “may be hosted or otherwise accessed outside of Australia, including in the United Kingdom”.^5,23

The plans

Tes describes SEQTA as “the all-in-one learning management system for progressive schools”, joining up student learning, wellbeing and attendance.²

Tes says Education Horizons “became part of Tes in 2025”. The same page lists Synergetic, a school management system, alongside SEQTA.²
Tes is a UK company, Tes Global Limited, with an Australian office in Sydney.²¹
We found no SEQTA prices. The SEQTA page offers a demo instead.¹
SEQTA’s help centre has start-of-year checklists written for WA Department of Education schools and for Catholic Education WA schools.^18,19

Where it runs. Schools can use SEQTA Cloud, which Tes hosts on Amazon Web Services (AWS).¹¹
Schools can also run SEQTA on their own servers or in their own cloud account, where Tes recommends AWS or Azure.¹³
Tes says SEQTA supports single sign-on, role-based access and auditing.^1,10,12

What’s built in

SEQTA AI Assist for Lesson Planning Drafts a plan for one lesson. The teacher reviews and edits it before saving.

What it does: Drafts a plan for one lesson. The teacher reviews and edits it before saving.⁶
Tes says the draft comes “complete with lesson titles, materials needed, learning objectives and differentiated learning ideas”.³
It fills in the subject, the Essential Learning and the syllabus links from the programme where they exist. The teacher sets the year level and the lesson length, which defaults to 50 minutes.⁶
The teacher can add Additional Details, such as “Include a group activity”.⁶
It uses Australian Curriculum version 9 subcodes automatically. For other curricula, Tes suggests pasting the outcome’s wording into Additional Details. Its examples come from the NSW K-10 curriculum and WACE 2024.⁶
The draft opens in the Lesson Editor. Tes’s help says “AI might produce inaccurate results.”⁶
Where to find it: In SEQTA Teach, on the Planner page. Choose Start with AI, or Go Manual to plan without it.⁶
Fill in the details and click Draft lesson plan. Draft a new lesson plan throws away the current draft.⁶
It isn’t available for programmes that aren’t attached to a class.⁶
Which plans have it: “SEQTA AI Assist is available to all schools as part of their standard subscription to SEQTA”, and using it “does not incur an additional cost”.⁵
Tes’s blog says it’s included in the SEQTA Teach subscription.³
What happens to your data: Tes says AI Assist “does not communicate any PII (Personally Identifiable Information) with the AI components that draft the lesson plans”.⁵
Tes’s blog says “No details regarding students, teachers or the school are available to SEQTA AI Assist”, and that the AI components “cannot access or read any data inside SEQTA”.³
Never put personal details in the Essential Learning or Additional Details fields.⁵
AI Assist runs through a Tes service at ai.seqta.com, which Tes lists as an AWS load balancer.⁸
Tes doesn’t name the AI model, say where it runs, or say whether what teachers type is used to train it. For more, it points to its General Terms of Business, Data Processing Agreement and Privacy Notice.⁵
Admin switch. Go to Administration workspace > Application Settings > Application settings and search for “AI assist”. You need the DATA: EDIT permission. Once it’s on, everyone with permission to edit programmes can use it. A school can switch it off at any time.⁵
In Australia: It’s built around the Australian Curriculum, version 9.⁶
Tes plans to add all Australian Curriculum versions and state-level curricula “as soon after first release as possible”.⁶

SEQTA AI Assist: Summarised Assessment Feedback Tes calls it “an AI powered addition to SEQTA designed to aid students in assimilating teacher feedback”.

What it does: Tes calls it “an AI powered addition to SEQTA designed to aid students in assimilating teacher feedback”.⁷
It gathers each student’s feedback from the last 6 months, across all subjects, and sums it up in at most 10 bullet points. The most frequent themes come first.⁷
The summary changes as teachers add new feedback.⁷
Where to find it: On the student’s dashboard in SEQTA Learn.⁷
Tes’s help lists the feature as “Summarised Assessment Feedback for students and parents”. Its blog says it’s “live and accessible to parents through SEQTA Engage”.^5,4
Which plans have it: “SEQTA AI Summarised Assessment Feedback is included as part of your SEQTA subscription.”⁴
What happens to your data: This feature works from the feedback teachers wrote about each student. Tes’s no-PII statement covers lesson-plan drafting, and the feedback article doesn’t say what’s sent to the AI.^5,7
Tes’s blog says only authorised users, “such as teachers and parents”, can see the feedback.⁴
Admin switch. In Dashboard Management (you need DASH: EDIT), choose Available, Required or Unavailable. Students can hide the summary when it’s Available, can’t when it’s Required, and no summary is created when it’s Unavailable.⁷
Once it’s on, every student with SEQTA Learn access is included. It can’t be limited to certain teachers, and the 6-month window is fixed.⁷
In Australia: Tes describes it on its Australian blog.⁴

Connect another AI

We checked each AI maker’s directory on 17 October 2026 and found no SEQTA connector. SEQTA’s public help centre had no articles on ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini or MCP.^{27,28,29,32,20}

We found no SEQTA MCP server and no public API documentation. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard most AI connectors now use.²⁰
Tes’s integration page says SEQTA works with “a wide array of educational tools and platforms”, but names no AI assistant.¹²
Tes’s own suggestion is that generative AI “can be used alongside existing learning management systems – without the need for complex technical integrations”.²⁵
Tes says teachers can draft plans from “publicly available curriculum content, without any need to share a school’s protected data”.²⁵

SEQTA links to Microsoft 365 in other ways. It can create a Microsoft Teams team for each class and keep the members in step with SEQTA enrolments. “Data travels from SEQTA to MS Teams, but not back to SEQTA.”¹⁵
Staff and students can also attach OneDrive files in SEQTA.¹⁶
Tes doesn’t describe either link as AI. Copilot inside your school’s Microsoft 365 is covered in our separate Microsoft 365 guide.^15,16

We found no public SEQTA API documentation.²⁰
For SEQTA Cloud schools, Tes offers a daily database backup that “has been introduced to replace direct database access”.¹⁴

What it can see and do The backup includes student records, attendance, wellbeing, academic results, marks and grades, and timetable data.

The backup includes student records, attendance, wellbeing, academic results, marks and grades, and timetable data.¹⁴
It leaves out credentials, system settings, direct messages, forum posts, notifications and correspondence logs.¹⁴
Tes says: “Unlike the SEQTA user interface, which may apply role-based permissions and visibility restrictions, the backup provides access to the full set of included data”.¹⁴
It’s a daily copy. Tes says it “is not intended for use cases that require near real-time access to information”.¹⁴

What you need SEQTA Cloud hosting, the right SEQTA administrator permissions, and Tes switching the feature on for your school.

Our reading: if a school feeds this backup into an AI tool, SEQTA’s role-based permissions don’t come with it. Anyone who can query that tool could reach all of the data.¹⁴

Zapier, Make and Power Automate

Tes doesn’t document any of them for SEQTA. Searches of SEQTA’s help centre found no articles about them.²⁰

All the tool guides

Jobs it’s good for

A first draft of tomorrow’s lesson. Pick the curriculum links, set the year level and click Draft lesson plan. Then edit it in the Lesson Editor.⁶
Lessons for WACE or NSW courses. Paste the outcome’s description into Additional Details. Tes’s examples include a WACE Accounting and Finance outcome.⁶
Differentiation ideas. Each draft includes differentiated learning ideas you can adapt.³
Consistent planning across a department. AI Assist plans sit in SEQTA, so heads of department can review them.³
Helping students act on feedback. The summary pulls six months of feedback across all subjects into at most ten points.⁷
Parent conversations. Parents can see the same summary in SEQTA Engage.⁴
Planning with an outside AI tool. Draft from public curriculum content and keep school data out of it, as Tes suggests.²⁵

What to watch for

Keep personal details out of the AI fields

Tes says to “never include any PII” in the AI Assist fields, such as Essential Learning or Additional Details.⁵
Tes’s AI policy guidance lists uploading personally identifiable information as a prohibited use.²⁶

Check every draft

Tes says generative AI “can supply inaccurate information”.⁵
It warns that links or videos the AI suggests “may not be relevant nor appropriate for your students”.⁵

Feedback summaries are about real students

Once the feature is on, every student with SEQTA Learn access is included, and summaries cover all subjects.⁷
Tes’s own policy guidance puts “feedback drafting, data summary” among the uses that need explicit human oversight.²⁶
Tes doesn’t say which student details reach the AI when it writes these summaries.⁷

Where the data sits

Tes hosts SEQTA Cloud on AWS.¹¹
Tes’s Australian terms say school data “may be hosted or otherwise accessed outside of Australia, including in the United Kingdom”.²³
Tes’s privacy notice says personal information will, “where possible”, be stored in the UK, the EEA or Australia.²¹
Tes’s sub-processor list gives AWS hosting locations as “EEA, UK & USA”, and names no AI model provider.²⁴
Tes’s Data Processing Agreement says it “will not transfer or authorise personal data to be transferred to a different territory without written consent from the customer”.²²
These statements don’t line up neatly. Our advice: ask Tes where your school’s data and AI requests are processed.

Locked-down networks

AI Assist needs the address ai.seqta.com. Schools that block outbound connections should ask their IT team to allow it.^5,8
Tes provides a test address, https://ai.seqta.com/connect, which shows “OK” when the connection works.⁵

Who switches what

Lesson planning: a SEQTA administrator with DATA: EDIT, in Application settings.⁵
Feedback summaries: a SEQTA administrator with DASH: EDIT, in Dashboard Management.⁷
Students can hide their summary when it’s set to Available.⁷

Outside AI tools

With no official connection, using an outside AI tool with SEQTA means copying information out by hand. Tes’s advice is to stick to public curriculum content.²⁵
The database backup gives the full included data without SEQTA’s role-based limits. Treat any AI project built on it as a privacy project. That’s our reading.¹⁴

What’s changing

2025: Education Horizons became part of Tes.²
17 June 2026: SEQTA release v2026.6.2 fixed an error that stopped AI lesson plans being generated.⁹
4 September 2026: Tes’s help article on the Cloud Database Backup Service, which replaces direct database access for SEQTA Cloud schools, was last updated.¹⁴
Planned, no date: AI Assist support for all Australian Curriculum versions and state-level curricula, and for programmes not attached to a class.⁶
Planned, no date: Tes says it will “keep exploring and adding new capability to SEQTA AI Assist”.³
Planned, no date: Tes says SEQTA Cloud “lays the foundation for the future of SEQTA as part of Tes360”.¹¹
Parents and summaries: one line in Tes’s help article marks parents as “(coming soon)”, while its blog says the feature is live in SEQTA Engage.^7,4

What we couldn’t establish

The AI model behind AI Assist, and who supplies it. Tes’s sub-processor list names no AI provider.^5,24
Where AI requests are processed. Tes lists ai.seqta.com as an AWS load balancer but names no region.⁸
Training. We found no statement on whether lesson details or student feedback sent to the AI are used to train models.^5,23
What the feedback summaries send to the AI, including whether student names go with it.⁷
When AI Assist launched. Tes’s pages don’t date it. Image file names in its help articles suggest mid to late 2024. That’s our inference.^5,7
Whether AI Assist starts switched off. Tes describes schools enabling it, but no page says it’s off by default.^5,3
Usage limits. Tes’s backup article mentions an internal table for “AI credit tracking”, and no page explains AI credits.¹⁴
Hosting. Tes’s statements on where SEQTA data is stored and processed don’t agree (see “Where the data sits”).^11,21,23,24
SEQTA prices.¹
How many schools use SEQTA. Tes’s SEQTA pages give no figure.¹
Whether Tes 360 will bring AI connections.¹¹
A public API. We found none in SEQTA’s public help centre.²⁰
Help centre dates. Tes’s help centre shows “Modified on” dates without a year. We read them as 2026 because the weekdays shown match 2026.⁵
SEQTA’s security and privacy page describes encryption, audits and compliance in general terms, without naming certifications.¹⁰
