Supporting UK schools with safe, practical AI

AI training for schools — think of Colin as your most helpful colleague.

Policy and governance first, then hands-on staff training, then someone to ask when things change. The result: safe, consistent AI use across your school — and hours a week given back to staff.

Colin is an AI-powered support service built specifically for schools — primary, secondary and multi-academy trusts. He helps your team write faster, plan smarter, and spend less time on the stuff that piles up — using the tools you already have, safely and simply.

What we do

Governance first. Then training. Then ongoing support.

AI is already in your school, whether it's been approved or not. Our job is to make it safe, consistent and genuinely useful — in that order.

1. Governance & policy

An AI policy, staff acceptable use agreement, governor briefing and parent letter — aligned to KCSIE 2026, DfE guidance and UK GDPR. Written for your school, ready for your headed paper.

2. Staff training

Hands-on sessions that meet staff where they are, from nervous beginners to curious adopters. Safe-use rules first, then real tasks from your school — letters, planning, reports, differentiation.

3. Ongoing support

Someone to ask when a new tool appears, guidance refreshed as statutory expectations change, and training for new staff. AI moves quickly; your school shouldn't have to keep up alone.

The result is the part everyone notices: 4–12 hours a week of admin, planning and communication time given back to staff — earned safely, with the paperwork behind it.

Real-world impact

Reduce teacher workload — hours saved, every week.

Based on schools we've worked with. We baseline first so the results are real.

Admin & Front Office

4–12

hours saved per week

Less time on letters, newsletters, routine communications, and scheduling.

Teaching Staff

2–6

hours per week, per teacher

Faster planning, feedback drafts, reports, and parent communication.

Leadership

2–6

hours saved per week

Quicker policy drafts, meeting prep, strategic documents, and responses.

Based on a typical 2-form entry primary school. Savings vary by school size and phase — we always baseline with your school first before making any specific claims.

School groups & trusts

One consistent, safe approach across every school in your group.

Multi-academy trusts, federations and school groups have a problem single schools don't: ten schools quietly doing ten different things with AI, and no way to evidence any of it.

One policy framework, every school

A single trust-level AI policy and staff agreement, adapted per school where it needs to be. Consistent wording, consistent standards, one version to defend at inspection.

Visibility of what's actually happening

Most trusts discover that staff across their schools are already using free AI tools with pupil data. We audit it, tell you plainly what we find, and give you a route to control it.

Rollout that doesn't need ten projects

Training delivered school by school to a shared plan, at a reduced per-school rate. One relationship, one point of contact, one invoice — not ten separate conversations.

How a group engagement usually works

Trust-level conversation — where you are now, what's already in use, what has to be true for AI to be signed off across the group.
Framework built once — policy, staff agreement, governor briefing and parent communication, written to your trust's standards.
Rolled out per school — each school gets its own adapted documents and a staff training session, to a shared schedule.
Ongoing support across the group — one contact for every school, guidance refreshed as statutory expectations change.

Pricing is per school and falls as the group grows — a trust of ten schools pays considerably less per school than a single primary would. Happy to put a figure in writing after one conversation.
