Artificial Intelligence for the Whole School: Practical CPD for Every Role
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept—it’s here, and it’s already reshaping how we teach, lead, and safeguard. But for many educators, the question isn’t whether to engage with AI, it’s how. That’s exactly what our new training series is designed to answer.
Whole School AI CPD
Artificial Intelligence for the Whole School is a six-part CPD programme tailored to meet the needs of every role in school—from the curious classroom teacher to the cautious DSL, from the strategic SLT member to the EY practitioner wondering how AI fits into early years. Whether you’re tech-savvy or technically terrified, this series offers a safe, supportive space to explore, experiment, and embed AI into your practice.
6 detailed sessions
Each session is practical, jargon-free, and rooted in the real-world challenges and opportunities schools face. You can book the full series or select the sessions most relevant to your role. Topics include:
- AI for the New and Nervous – a gentle introduction for those unsure where to start.
- ChatGPT but what next?– exploring a range of AI tools and their classroom applications.
- AI and Safeguarding – unpacking the risks, responsibilities, and the latest DfE and KCSiE guidance.
- AI for SLT – strategic planning, policy development, and ethical leadership.
- AI in the Curriculum – practical ways to enhance teaching and learning.
- AI in the Early Years – supporting young children and families in a digital world.
Linked to the latest guidance for schools
This builds on the DfE materials - Using AI in education settings: support materials - GOV.UK, which discusses the use AI to reduce workload, improve feedback, and enhance learning—while emphasising the need for safety, accuracy, and data protection. The guidance also highlights the importance of strategic planning when embedding AI into your wider digital strategy.
All sessions will promote safeguarding, although there is one session that will solely focus on this aspect. Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) 2025, now includes explicit references to AI under online safety, as schools are expected to consider AI-generated content, deepfakes, and misinformation as part of their safeguarding responsibilities
This isn’t just about technology—it’s about pedagogy, policy, and practice. It’s about giving staff the confidence to ask questions, test ideas, and make informed decisions. It’s about ensuring that every child benefits from the opportunities AI offers, while staying safe and supported.
Cost and Booking
Sessions run from 4–5pm and can be booked individually or as a full series. Prices vary depending on your school’s SLA package. Please note: each session must be booked separately via the links above.
Let’s move beyond the buzzwords. Let’s make AI meaningful, manageable, and safe—for every member of your school community.
