AI Training for Secondary Schools
AskColin provides AI training for secondary schools that actually reduces workload. No jargon, no new software, no pressure. Just real support that fits your school's day.
What AskColin provides
Real AI adoption in secondary schools happens department by department — through consistent support, growing confidence, and a toolkit built around your subjects and assessment demands, not a generic workshop nobody applies.
Practical sessions for all staff — from nervous beginners to early adopters. Jargon-free, hands-on, and built around the tasks your team actually do.
Templates, prompts, and a shared tone guide — built in your voice and stored in your existing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment.
We baseline at the start, track hours saved, and report back monthly. Time savings are real and visible — not just anecdotal.
No pupil data, human review always, clear boundaries. Every recommendation is designed for the UK secondary school safeguarding context.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — we work within your existing systems. Nothing to install, no new platforms, no extra logins to manage.
Not a one-off. Regular sessions, priority support, and a growing toolkit — the kind of consistent help that makes AI adoption last.
The results
