SLT AI is one of the most searched AI tools for school leaders in the UK. If you are trying to log in, check the price, or work out whether the free trial is worth your time, this guide covers the practical questions in one place.
SLT AI is an AI assistant built specifically for school leadership work — improvement plans, policy drafts, self-evaluation, governor reports, staff communications and the endless paperwork that lands on a senior leader's desk. We have reviewed the product in full in our SLT AI review for school leaders. This article covers the practical questions people search for: logging in, pricing and trials.
How to log in to SLT AI
SLT AI is a web-based tool, so there is nothing to install. To log in:
- Go to the official SLT AI website directly — type the address rather than clicking an advert, as ads for similarly named tools do appear in search results.
- Choose the log in option and sign in with the email address you registered with.
- If your school bought a team licence, use your school email address, not a personal one — team licences are tied to the addresses the account owner added.
Can't log in? The usual causes
- Wrong email. Staff often register with a personal address, then try a school one (or the other way round).
- Licence not assigned. On team plans, the account owner — usually the head or business manager — has to add each user.
- School filtering. Some school networks block newer AI sites by default. If the site will not load on the school network but works on your phone, ask IT to review the filter. Our guide to how school IT admins control AI tools explains how that decision should be made.
How much does SLT AI cost?
At the time of our review, SLT AI was priced on a simple per-user basis, with discounts for annual billing and for teams:
| Plan | Users | Price at time of review |
|---|---|---|
| Individual monthly | 1 | £10 per month |
| Individual annual | 1 | £95 per year |
| Small team annual | 2–5 | £85 per user per year |
| Medium team annual | 6–10 | £75 per user per year |
| Large team | 10+ | Custom quote |
Prices change, so check the current figures on the SLT AI website before you budget. Even so, this is one of the more affordable specialist leadership tools on the market — a full leadership team of five costs less per year than a single day of supply cover.

Ask me anything about AI in your school — policy, tools, training or safeguarding. I reply personally, usually the same day.
Is there an SLT AI free trial?
SLT AI has offered ways to try the product before committing, but the terms change, so check the current offer on its website. Whatever the offer, the best way to use a trial is the same:
- Pick two real tasks you have to do this half-term — for example, a section of the school improvement plan and a governor report.
- Do them in SLT AI using anonymised information only.
- Compare the time taken and the quality against how you would normally do it.
If it saves you an hour on each and the drafts need editing rather than rewriting, the annual price pays for itself quickly.
SLT AI or ChatGPT?
This is the question most leaders ask next. General tools like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini can do much of the same drafting — but they need better prompting, and they do not come pre-shaped around UK school leadership language. We compare the two directly in SLT AI vs ChatGPT for school leaders.
Before your leadership team signs up
- Add SLT AI to your list of approved AI tools in your school AI policy.
- Agree what information can and cannot go into it — no identifiable pupil or staff data unless your data protection impact assessment covers it.
- Use school email addresses on a team plan so access ends when someone leaves.
- Brief governors: they are entitled to know which AI tools leaders use for strategic documents.
Getting value from it in the first month
- List your leadership documents due this term.
- Use SLT AI for first drafts of each.
- Save the prompts and structures that work.
- Share outputs with the team for consistency.
Frequently asked questions
How do I log in to SLT AI?
Go to the official SLT AI website directly, choose log in, and use the email address you registered with. On a team plan, use your school email address, as licences are assigned by the account owner.
How much does SLT AI cost?

Does SLT AI have a free trial?
SLT AI has offered ways to try the product before paying, but terms change. Check its website for the current offer, and test it on two real leadership tasks using anonymised information.
Why is SLT AI blocked on my school network?
Some school filtering systems block newer AI websites by default. Ask your IT provider to review it against your AI policy rather than working around the filter.
Is SLT AI better than ChatGPT for school leaders?
SLT AI is shaped around UK school leadership tasks, so it needs less prompting. ChatGPT and similar tools are more flexible but need stronger prompts and careful data protection settings.
