AI Adoption
DfE-aligned AI adoption: policies, audits and role-based CPD with instant feedback
Through our partnership, hi-impact has created a dedicated AI adoption offer for schools and trusts, aligned with DfE expectations and embedded into everyday practice.
What’s Included in Our AI CPD Offer
hi-impact delivers a structured AI CPD and adoption offer created specifically for schools and trusts. The programme combines role-based CPD with governance, assurance and practical documentation, ensuring AI use aligns with DfE expectations and is embedded into everyday practice rather than sitting in isolation as training alone. Leadership teams gain clarity and oversight through auditing and reporting, while staff are supported with clear standards and guidance that enable confident, consistent use across the organisation.
As part of the AI CPD offer, schools and trusts receive:
Policies and documentation
School AI Policy
Staff AI Acceptable Use Policy
Student AI Acceptable Use Policy
Parental communication and information template
Short- and long-term AI planning guides
Auditing and assurance
Baseline audit to understand starting position and training needs
End-of-course audit to evaluate impact and progress
School-wide AI use audit
Trust-wide AI use audit
Together, this provides a joined-up approach to AI adoption, supporting leadership assurance, consistent practice and sustainable improvement across schools and trusts.
