Pupils at a leading London school are less likely to be given essays to write as homework because of the power of online artificial intelligence.
Students at Alleyn’s School in Dulwich are instead being given in-depth research to carry out before their next lessons, as an alternative to essays.
It comes after the artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT was tested by the English department at £23,000 a year Alleyn’s School, and teachers gave an A* to an essay that it produced.
Headteacher Jane Lunnon said there is no longer any point in pupils completing essays at home to be marked.
