AI in Schools: How Our British Schools Approach This Topic – Plus a Podcast Recommendation

Many schools are grappling with the challenge of establishing clear guidelines for the use of AI. Especially in preparation for final exams or international qualifications such as the IB, AI can serve as a valuable tool – but how can it be used effectively? And where should the boundaries be drawn?

Many of our partner schools in the UK have already developed clear policies on AI, which they actively communicate to students – whether in the classroom or during weekly school assemblies. The International Baccalaureate (IB) was also quick to define an official stance on the matter. While recognizing AI’s potential benefits, the IB emphasizes transparent and responsible use in line with academic integrity principles. More details can be found in the latest IB Statement on AI.

Parents often wonder how they can help their children navigate the use of AI. A highly relevant episode of the ARD AI Podcast, titled “Does AI Make Us Dumber?”, offers practical insights. One particularly thought-provoking prompt from the episode encourages students to use AI as a learning partner rather than a shortcut for homework:

"Don’t ask AI – tell AI to ask you.": You are here to challenge my thinking. No matter what we discuss, structure your responses in a way that encourages me to reflect critically. Pose meaningful questions whose answers will help me better understand my task or goal. Then review my responses with me until I am satisfied with the solution. Listen to the podcast.

At the end of 2023, we explored this topic in depth during a webinar featuring Dr. Andy Kemp, Principal of the National Mathematics & Science College. He demonstrated practical ways students can use AI to enhance their own writing – for instance, by improving the structure of literary analyses: Watch the webinar recording.

Choosing the right school for a stay in the UK can be a significant challenge. It’s not just about finding a school with the right academic, athletic, and artistic programs—it’s also about considering the school's ethos, values, size, and location.

Our goal is to understand your child's aspirations, strengths, and interests in order to identify schools that are the best match for them.

But our service doesn’t stop at placement. We continue to be your point of contact for everything from visas, travel arrangements, and pocket money to school uniforms and other practical matters. We're here to support you and your child throughout their entire stay.

Boarding School - a model for success Why international pupils are so happy at British boarding schools

Oakham School Psychology Class
  • Whether highly academic or needing special support of some kind - a good boarding school supports each child according to his or her individual requirements.
  • Teachers have a different standing in Britain and are much more motivated and committed.
  • Small classes make it possible to teach the subject matter in a clear and interesting way. Learning is suddenly fun.
  • A huge range of sports, art, music  and other activities are offered outside of the classroom. It's cool to get involved. 
  • Being away from home for some time stimulates the ability see the bigger picture and to think and act independently.
  • Last but not least, English is learnt more or less in passing.

Das sagen unsere Alumni: „Die Lehrer waren phantastisch. Sie waren so interessiert an ihrem Fach und man konnte immer zu ihnen gehen. Sie waren kompetent und der Unterricht war sehr gut gestaltet."
