After two years of case studies and research, presented at the AI In Education conference last year by Laura Knight, Clifton High School are thrilled to announce their Skills for Tomorrow Course designed to equip Year 7 and Year 12 learners with the skills and understanding needed to thrive in the future. This course is the first of its kind, developed in collaboration with multiple Russell Group universities and independent agencies, including co-design input from Microsoft.

Following a two-year case study of 21st Century Skill Development, presented at the National AI in Education conference at Epsom College in 2023, we have expanded the scope of this skills framework to give opportunities for all to develop individual brilliance in this area.
