“What would you do with an extra five hours each week? AI can turn lengthy reports, complex datasets, communications, and administrative tasks into polished, strategic outputs in minutes.”
Why this matters:
AI is now embedded in everyday school tools such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Canva. When used effectively, AI helps schools:
- Reduce workload for teachers, leaders and support staff
- Improve quality and consistency of communication
- Strengthen safeguarding, SEND, LAC, attendance and behaviour data workflows
- Enhance learning materials and accessibility for all learners
- Reduce printing and support sustainability goals
- Model digital confidence and future-ready skills for staff and students
Scenario:
Imagine you have a governor meeting tomorrow. You need a summary of attendance trends, SEND updates and parental engagement data. Instead of spending 3–4 hours compiling reports and designing slides, AI drafts your summary, creates a professional slide deck, and provides visual charts, all in under 10 minutes.
In this course, we’ll explore how AI is transforming everyday tasks across Microsoft 365, Google Gemini and Canva, helping you create smarter, more accessible content with ease. We will also dedicate a module to sustainability, showing how digital tools and AI can reduce printing, support net-zero goals and model environmentally responsible practices in schools.
