A readiness score out of 45
Five areas — leadership, governance, data protection, technical controls and staff capability — with any weak area flagged, whatever the total says.
Eastbourne · UK
/ Free tool · Schools and trustsAI readiness, scored — for schools and trusts.
A working self-assessment built specifically for UK schools and multi-academy trusts — for senior leadership, governors, the DPO and the IT lead. Score where you are, find where AI would actually help. Done properly in about forty-five minutes as a team, or ten on your own. Your scores are free on screen; the branded report and companion guide arrive by email.
01/ What your school walks away with
A snapshot, not a verdict.
Score honestly, not aspirationally. A flattering score tells you nothing and protects nobody — if a control exists on paper but no member of staff could describe it, it is not in place.
Included
An opportunity score for ten process areas
Where the workload actually is, from parent comms to SEN administration — and which of those areas are genuinely worth pointing AI at.
Included
A route for every opportunity
Each one crossed against its data tier: start here, DPIA first, park it, or leave alone. The part most AI audits leave out.
Included
A branded report plus the guide
Your personalised PDF — top three opportunities, owners to assign, pre-flight checks — together with the companion guide, Responsible AI Enablement in Schools.
02/ The assessment · Schools and trusts
Work through it here.
Best completed by the people who will actually own the decisions: a member of SLT, the DPO or data protection lead, the IT lead or MSP, and someone who teaches. Not a school? Our general AI readiness check is the better fit.
Fifteen statements scoring how ready your school is to use AI safely, ten process areas scored for time and opportunity, and a data tier against each. About ten minutes solo — better done together as a leadership team. Score honestly, not aspirationally: if a control exists on paper but no member of staff could describe it, it is not in place.
