For leaders
Written for the person signing the invoice
You are not buying enthusiasm for a new tool. You are buying a defensible position: a written policy, assessments that still measure learning, and a staff who can explain both to a parent, a governor or an inspector. This page sets out the risk, the paperwork and the cost.
The risk position, plainly
Right now, in your school, students are submitting work that a chatbot drafted and staff are pasting pupil information into consumer tools with no agreement in place about either. Neither is a scandal yet. Both become one the first time a parent challenges a plagiarism decision or asks where their child’s safeguarding note ended up.
The exposure is not the technology. It is the absence of a written position. A school with a drafted policy, a defensible process and trained staff can answer a challenge. A school without one is relying on nobody asking.
What a governing body will ask
- Do we have a written AI policy, and who wrote it?
- What data are staff allowed to enter into these tools, and what is forbidden?
- If we accuse a student of AI misuse, what is the process, and would it survive an appeal?
- What have parents been told?
- How does homework still measure learning when a chatbot can write it?
The programme exists so that every answer is a document, not a shrug.
What the policy covers
The policy drafted in session six covers classroom use, assessment design, data rules for staff, age limits and terms of service, the process for suspected misuse, and what parents are told. It sits alongside your safeguarding and behaviour policies, not inside a computing document nobody reads.
Because the staff draft it themselves, it reflects your school: your phase, your intake, your existing behaviour system. We bring the structure and the difficult questions. The school keeps the pen.
How this fits inspection
Inspectors do not yet grade a school on its AI policy. They do grade on safeguarding culture, on the quality of education, and on whether assessment tells teachers what pupils know. Each of those now has an AI-shaped hole in it if the school has not thought it through.
The programme closes that hole with evidence you can show: a written policy, rewritten assessments, training records and a parent letter. It reads as curriculum leadership because that is what it is.
The method, once more, for maths
Why the assessments survive contact with a chatbot
Governors ask one sharp question: if the tools can do the homework, what are we measuring? The answer is the rewrite method. The AI’s answer goes into the task, and the student’s job becomes marking it, correcting it and arguing with it. The knowledge being tested is unchanged; the shortcut is gone.
Before
Here are the prices of nine houses sold in one street last year. Is the mean or the median a better measure of the typical price? Explain your answer.
Answered in one prompt. No knowledge required.
After
An AI tool answered the question above and chose the mean, arguing it uses every value. Its answer ignores the one house that sold for nearly four times the others. Mark the answer: explain why its reasoning fails on this data set, calculate both measures, and write the conclusion a statistician would defend.
Requires exactly the knowledge the original was testing.
Cost and contract
Published pricing, no discovery call required
Prices are per school, in pounds sterling, excluding VAT and travel outside our home regions. Multi-school groups and districts are quoted per group, and the per-school figure falls with group size.
Contract terms
Annual contracts run for a school year and renew by agreement, not by default. There is no per-teacher licence, no platform fee and no renewal escalation clause. If the programme is not working after session two, you can stop and pay only for what was delivered.
What we will not do
We will not sell you a licence for a chatbot, take a referral fee from a vendor, or tell your governors the evidence is stronger than it is. Our Evidence & Limits page states plainly what is unknown. If a vendor has already promised you transformation, read that page before signing anything.

Thirty minutes, no slide deck. Tell us your phase, your staff count and whether a policy exists, and we will say honestly which format fits, or whether the Policy Pack alone is enough for now.
