This is a whole-school governance and policy framework for the safe, ethical, and proportionate use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings.
It is not an AI tool, not a software platform, and not a monitoring or surveillance system.
This framework exists to help schools establish clear, defensible policy boundaries around AI use, while protecting student learning, assessment integrity, staff autonomy, and school governance.
What This Framework Is For
This framework supports schools to:
-
Set clear rules and expectations around AI use
-
Protect assessment integrity and authenticity of student work
-
Safeguard students, staff, and the school from misuse or uncertainty
-
Demonstrate structured, inspection-safe AI governance
It focuses on policy clarity and protection, not adoption or promotion.
What This Framework Covers
The framework provides structured guidance across:
-
Acceptable and unacceptable uses of AI in school contexts
-
Assessment integrity and academic honesty
-
Staff responsibilities and professional judgement
-
Student understanding and boundaries
-
Data protection, privacy, and safeguarding considerations
-
Decision-making, escalation, and review
All guidance is written to be technology-neutral, so it remains valid as tools change.
What This Framework Is Not
This framework:
-
Does not require the use of AI
-
Does not recommend specific tools or platforms
-
Does not monitor or track student or staff behaviour
-
Does not assess, score, or profile users
-
Does not replace professional judgement or statutory policy
It supports governance and clarity, not enforcement.
How Schools Use This Framework
Schools typically use this framework:
-
As a core AI policy document
-
To support leadership, boards, and senior management
-
To provide clear guidance to staff, students, and parents
-
To ensure consistent decision-making across the school
It is designed to sit alongside existing safeguarding, assessment, and data-protection policies, not replace them.
