For teachers, school leaders and multi-academy trusts. Every edition, newest first.
The LEO Academy Trust, a 15-school primary MAT in Sutton and Surrey, has introduced a LEGO Education computer science and AI programme trust-wide. The initiative covers algorithms, machine learning, data bias and responsible AI use, backed by structured teacher training.
A new House of Lords briefing reveals that 94% of UK university students now report using AI in their studies, with 12% admitting to submitting AI-generated text directly. The briefing calls for a focus on critical thinking, ethical judgement and AI literacy, and flags government concern about the integrity of higher education assessments and qualifications.
Writing in TES, Shabih Bashir, Head of Key Stage 5 Mathematics at Doha College, argues that AI has transformed how he builds assessments, making them broader in scope and richer in detail whilst significantly reducing his workload. He highlights that the time saved feeds directly back into student support. The piece offers practical, subject-specific insight that secondary teachers can immediately contextualise for their own practice.
