Shaping the future of education with ethical AI

At Simon Balle All-through School, we believe in preparing our students for the future - a future where artificial intelligence (AI) will play an increasingly significant role in everyday life, the workplace, and education. This dedicated section of our website is part of our commitment to using AI in a responsible, ethical, and purposeful way.

As a forward-thinking school, we see AI not as a replacement for great teaching, but as a powerful tool to enhance learning, support staff, and empower our school community. Through our AI Working Group, we are actively exploring how AI can reduce workload, improve outcomes, and support every student’s journey - while always placing wellbeing, ethics, and safeguarding at the heart of everything we do.

This area of our website is designed to support you with:

• Parent/ Carer Guides: Understand how AI is being used in education, explore its benefits and risks, and access guidance to support learning at home.
• Student Guides: Learn how to use AI effectively, responsibly, and creatively to support your studies, revision, and research.
• Staff and School Insights: Discover how we are using AI across the school to plan, teach, and lead more efficiently and effectively.
• JCQ Guidance and Updates: Stay informed about the latest guidance from the Joint Council for Qualifications on the appropriate and ethical use of AI in assessments and coursework.

Whether you’re a parent curious about ChatGPT, a student wanting to use AI to improve your learning - you’ll find practical advice and thoughtful guidance here.

Together, we are shaping the future of education - one where AI is used to inspire, support, and enhance every member of our school community.
