How to use this AI in schools guide
AI in schools is moving quickly, and school leaders need a practical way to manage opportunity and risk. This guide helps you create a shared language for AI in schools so that governors, senior leaders, teachers and support teams can discuss artificial intelligence with more confidence.
The guide can be used before a staff meeting, governor briefing, trust discussion or policy review. It helps leaders consider how AI in schools affects safeguarding, assessment, workload, data protection, pupil use and staff expectations.
For external context, schools may also want to compare their internal approach with UK government guidance on generative AI in education and wider data protection guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office.
