AI with Children — What Schools Must Decide First

This short information leaflet is for school leaders who are quietly asking how to respond to artificial intelligence in relation to children — without rushing into tools, training, or policy.

It focuses on what schools must decide before discussing how AI might be used, including:

• clear boundaries for child-appropriate AI interaction

• why supervision and good intent are not enough on their own

• the idea of a baseline (not a strategy)

• the single most valuable first step a school can take

This is not a how-to guide, a programme, or a sales document.

It does not recommend platforms or classroom activities.

It is designed as a quiet read for heads, DSLs, board members, and senior educators who want clarity before commitment.
