Following the success of our inaugural event in January, our second national Artificial Intelligence in Schools Conference will take place in October 2025.
This two-day online event 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 AI in Schools Conference includes case studies, expert advice, and classroom-ready ideas relevant to all, whether you’re a school leader, digital leader, or classroom teacher. It will show you how AI is already transforming teaching, learning, and school leadership and how the risks are being managed.
The event will share practical 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. We will discuss using AI as part of teaching and learning, not least lesson-planning, resource-creation, pedagogy, and assessment. The conference will also showcase latest AI tools and resources.
The conference sessions include:
- Which tool for which task? Your guide to AI deployment in schools
- Your guide to rolling out AI tools in school: Lessons learned and common pitfalls
- Digital citizens in the age of AI: Media literacy and ethical use
- Your students and AI: Finding and fixing the knowledge gaps
- From key stage 2 to 5: AI at the Three Spires Trust: Embedding AI across the curriculum
- AI tools to support SEND & inclusion: Practical strategies
- A range of uses for AI in teaching, assessment and feedback
- Teacher preparedness for AI: Getting staff CPD right
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.
