Artificial Intelligence is moving from novelty to necessity — reshaping how schools operate, how communities learn, and how young people prepare for their futures. For schools that already have a basic AI policy and some initial staff training in place, this one-day advanced programme provides the space to deepen your expertise, extend your influence, and position your school at the forefront of responsible innovation.
The morning will focus on leadership and innovation. Through case studies, hands-on exploration, and peer exchange, you’ll examine emerging uses of AI in education, develop strategies to embed sustainable practices, and explore how to lead whole-school change while maintaining your community’s values.
In the afternoon, attention turns to the bigger picture: the knowledge and skills young people need to navigate an AI-shaped world. We will consider the ethical, economic, and societal dimensions of AI, and translate these into curriculum design, student engagement, and wider school culture.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with:
