AI literacy is now a legal requirement Article 4 of the EU AI Act has required organisations using AI to ensure staff are AI-literate since February 2025. That includes schools.
AI advice and training for schools
Helping schools make sense of AI.
AI strategy and policy, training for staff and students, and software built around how your school works.
AI is already in your school.
The only question is whether it’s happening by design — or by accident.
Your staff are already using AI. So are your students. What most schools don’t have yet is a shared position — what’s allowed, what isn’t, and who decides. That gap matters more now the law has caught up.
Transparency duties are now in force Transparency duties took effect in August 2026. Breaches carry fines of up to €15m or 3% of turnover.
AI in education is classified high-risk Assessment, admissions and monitoring tools face strict obligations from December 2027. Schools need governance in place well before then.
UK schools are already accountable No single AI act — but UK GDPR, safeguarding duties and equality law already apply to AI, and the DfE expects a clear policy and staff training.
