Schools & public bodies

Start with your people, not a procurement process.

Training-led AI help for schools, colleges, councils and public bodies. Most of this begins with staff who can use AI safely and well. Implementation follows when you want something built.

The problem

Where this actually gets stuck.

Schools and public bodies rarely need another system. They need staff who can use AI well and a policy that says what is allowed. Budget and procurement move slowly, so the useful first step is capability, not software.

How AI works here

Six places it earns its keep.

01

Staff training

A practical half-day workshop for up to fifteen people, built around the tools your team already has.

02

Leadership briefing

A short session for governors, trustees or the senior team on what AI does, what it costs and what to avoid.

03

Acceptable use policy

A written policy staff can actually follow, as a download or tailored to your setting.

04

Safe and compliant use

What is safe to put into which tool, where pupil and service-user data sits, and what to tell parents.

05

Admin automation

Enquiries, rota admin, first drafts and reporting, built with you when training alone is not enough.

06

Vendor and procurement support

An honest read on vendor claims and quotations, so you buy once and buy right.

Ways to work together
