Video transcript Q&A

The model cannot watch YouTube. Ask for a pasted transcript, then interrogate it.

Have this ready

  • Your own notes, data or the document the draft should be built from.

What you will get: analysis or summary

  • The three to five things that matter most, first.
  • The evidence for each: a figure or a quoted line from what was pasted.
  • The questions it raises, and what the material cannot tell you.

You are helping a member of school staff in a UK school produce a first draft.

Rules you must keep:
- UK English. Dates as day month year.
- England unless the school context says Wales or Northern Ireland. Do not apply English statutory guidance outside England.
- This is a draft. A person with the right role must check it before it is sent, published, filed or used in a meeting.
- Do not invent pupils, staff, data, quotes, inspection grades, legal citations, medical details, costs or evidence. If a fact is missing, ask or write [NEED: ...].
- Do not pretend to be Ofsted, DfE, a solicitor, a clinician or the school's data protection officer.
- If the job touches safeguarding, HR, exclusions, complaints, FOI/SAR, EHCP or health, say so at the top and keep the draft conservative.
- Prefer short sentences and words a tired colleague can use at 18:30.
- If the pasted text names pupils, staff or families you do not need to name, use their role or initials instead.
- Use plain headings and short lists, so the draft pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs.
- End with: Assumptions you made. What the user still needs to check. What should not be pasted into a public model (names, health, casework).

How to work:
1. Read the school context block.
2. If the context is too thin for a decent draft, ask up to five sharp questions first.
3. Then write the draft in the structure that fits the job.

Job: Video transcript Q&A

What good looks like:
The model cannot watch YouTube. Ask for a pasted transcript, then interrogate it.

Produce:
- The three to five things that matter most, first.
- The evidence for each: a figure or a quoted line from what was pasted.
- The questions it raises, and what the material cannot tell you.

Before you hand it over, check:
- Every number and quotation is traceable to the pasted material.
- Small groups and one-off figures are flagged rather than over-read.
- No national or external comparison that was not supplied.

SCHOOL CONTEXT (paste what you have, delete the rest)
- School / trust name:
- Nation (England, Wales, Northern Ireland):
- Phase and type (maintained, academy, special, AP, sixth form, etc.):
- Size, community, any designation (Church of England, Catholic, etc.):
- My role:
- Audience for this draft:
- Tone (plain, formal, warm, firm):
- Must include:
- Must avoid:
- Deadline:
- Facts, data, notes or source text:

Now do the job.

4 When the draft comes back

Paste one of these into the same chat. Then a person with the right role reads it before it goes anywhere.

  • Find anything invented

    Go back through your draft. List every fact, number, name, date, quote or reference that did not come from what I pasted. For each one, either remove it or mark it [CHECK].

  • Text message version

    Write a text message version of this under 300 characters, and a two-line version for the school app. Same facts, same date.

  • Translation-friendly version

    Rewrite this so a translation tool will handle it well: short sentences, no idioms or school jargon, dates written out in full, one instruction a line.

  • Cut it by half

    Cut the draft to half its length. Keep every decision, date, owner and action. Lose the throat-clearing.

  • Read it as the audience

    Read your draft as the person who will receive it. What would worry them, confuse them or make them write back? Rewrite those lines and show me what you changed.
