Approved by{{Name / board / senior management}}
Applies toAll staff, contractors and third parties acting for {{School / Trust Name}}

1. Purpose

{{School / Trust Name}} ("the school", "we") recognises that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can improve teaching, planning and administration. This policy sets out how AI tools may and may not be used, so that we capture those benefits without creating unacceptable risk to pupils, staff, safeguarding information, assessment integrity, or our legal and regulatory obligations.

This policy exists to help people use AI confidently and safely. It is not here to ban it.

2. Scope

"AI tools" means any system that generates, analyses, classifies, predicts or transforms content using machine learning or large language models. It applies however the tool is reached: a website, a desktop or mobile app, a browser extension or plug-in, a model running locally on a device, an assistant built into an operating system, or a direct API connection.

The rules, in your sector's terms

From the Data Classification Guide (Schools & Colleges). The examples are written for schools and colleges, not pasted from a generic template, so staff know in seconds what is safe to put into a tool.

Before anyone puts anything into an AI tool, they should know what kind of data it is. These examples are written for schools.

  • Public

    Examples: Prospectus, public web pages, newsletters.

    Rule: Fine in approved tools.

  • Internal

    Examples: Draft resources, lesson plans, non-sensitive notes.

    Rule: Fine in approved tools that do not train on your inputs.

  • Confidential

    Examples: HR and finance, governor and trust papers, exam material and mark schemes.

    Rule: Only in tools approved for confidential data. Never free or personal tools.

  • Pupil personal data

    Examples: Names, attendance, attainment, behaviour and MIS records.

    Rule: Only in tools approved for personal data, with a DPA. Never open or consumer AI.

  • SEND, special category and safeguarding

    Examples: Health and EHCP records, safeguarding logs such as CPOMS or MyConcern.

    Rule: Never in AI tools. Secure MIS and safeguarding systems only.
