A holistic approach to AI integration: understanding our framework

Vision

Every learner and educator in every school and college, ready for an AI-powered future — one that nurtures not just knowledge and skills, but well-being, agency, creativity and lifelong adaptability.

Mission

Through our nationally recognised AiEd Certified framework, policy influence and evidence-building, we lead a sector-wide movement for responsible, inclusive and future-ready education.

Principles

Equity first

Inclusive AI for all learners, regardless of background or ability.

Education-led, not tech-driven

Pedagogy drives our approach, focused on learning goals.

Ethical by design

We champion safe, transparent AI with clear privacy, bias and safety policies and human oversight.

Evidence-informed

Grounded in real-world research, practitioner insight, and continuous evaluation.

Leadership-driven

We support leaders to implement AI strategically and sustainably, in alignment with their school’s vision and values.

Collaborative by nature

Teachers, pupils, SENCOs, leaders and policymakers shape our tools, training and frameworks.

Future-facing, present-grounded

Partner with schools to re-imagine learning while solving what matters now — from teacher workload to digital literacy.

System-wide impact

We aim to transform education by co-creating a fundamentally different model of learning, influencing national strategy and catalysing deep, lasting change.

Learner-led

We empower pupils as active partners and ethical AI ambassadors.
