Online event
Monday, Apr 27, 2026 from 10 am to 12 pm GMT+1
Overview

AI and School Operations: cut workload, strengthen governance, protect trust & lead smarter systems across your school or MAT. Find out how.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future consideration for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts, it is already reshaping how organisations manage resources, people, risk and accountability. This 2-hour live session, AI and School Operations is designed specifically for senior operational and governance leaders who are responsible for ensuring that schools are efficient, compliant, resilient and future-ready.

Targeted at COOs, CFOs, HR Strategic Leads, School Business Managers, Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and Board members serving on finance, audit, risk or resources committees, this session moves beyond tools and hype to focus on real operational impact, governance, and leadership decision-making.

Drawing on the highly successful delivery of this session within the AI Strategic Leadership Programme for Education, participants will explore how AI can be used to streamline administration, strengthen financial planning, improve workforce management, enhance data protection and safeguarding, and support smarter, faster strategic decisions, without compromising ethics, trust or accountability.

The session will combine expert facilitation, practical case examples, and structured leadership discussion, enabling participants to critically assess where AI can add value across their own organisation and where stronger governance is required before adoption.

By the end of the session, participants will:

  • Understand where AI can reduce operational burden and cost across school and MAT systems
  • Gain clarity on leadership roles and responsibilities (COO, HR, DPO, Board) in AI adoption
  • Identify high-impact, low-risk operational use cases for AI
  • Recognise the data protection, safeguarding and ethical considerations leaders must address
  • Use a practical Operational AI Maturity Matrix to assess current readiness
  • Leave with clear next steps for responsible, strategic AI implementation

This session is ideal for leaders who want to move from curiosity to confidence and from fragmented AI use to coherent, well-governed operational strategy.

You will be provided with somem takeaway resources.
