Tips, Ideas, Guidance and Advice for School Leaders

This blog helps school leaders make sense of how to approach AI in education. With informal AI use already happening across classrooms and admin teams, and new DfE guidance published in June 2025, the need for clear, thoughtful leadership has never been greater. We explore what responsible AI use looks like in schools, where the risks lie, and how leaders can shape a school-wide stance that reflects their values, workload pressures and safeguarding responsibilities. Includes a link to Honeyguide’s AI Use and Ethics Toolkit Pack to support deeper reflection and strategic planning.
