Back by demand and following the success of our inaugural event in January, Artificial Intelligence in Schools: Opportunities and risks will return in October 2025.
This two-day online conference organised by SecEd and Headteacher Update will offer in-depth interactive sessions showcasing work that is happening on the ground in primary and secondary schools to manage the opportunities and the risk of the AI revolution.
The event will share practical insights, advice and ideas for how we can take advantage of AI to safely innovate, boost student outcomes, and support teaching staff, with a number of sessions led by schools and MATs based on their work to develop AI practice and their lessons learned. We also have a range of other AI experts.
The event will consider whole-school priorities and issues – including school-wide AI policy and strategy, teacher workload and CPD, safeguarding and data protection, and more.
We will also discuss using AI as part of teaching and learning, not least lesson-planning, resource-creation, pedagogy, and assessment.
The conference will showcase the latest AI tools and resources and will also look at how AI can support wider school operations, such as administrative and support staff, pastoral teams and others.
This event is aimed at senior leaders, colleagues with any form of responsibility for teaching and learning, and teaching staff working in primary and secondary education, including senior leaders, colleagues with responsibility for teaching and learning, teachers and teaching staff, leaders of CPD, and middle leaders among others.
We are currently in the process of planning our programme for this event. We expect to publish the final programme in June.
