AI for Schools: A Practical Starter Guide

AI in education is moving fast. Schools that embrace it thoughtfully will give their students (and their staff) a significant advantage. Schools that ignore it will fall behind.

This guide is for school leaders, heads of department, and teachers who want to start using AI in their setting but do not know where to begin. We cover lesson planning, differentiation, marking support, admin automation, parent communication, and the all-important question of student use and policy.

We also cover what AI should absolutely not be used for in a school context, and how to build policies that keep students safe while unlocking the genuine benefits.
