26 Jun 2026
Main Room
Students are already using AI every day, yet many schools are still working out how to realise its benefits while managing the risks. In this session, James Roach, CEO of Inclusive MAT, shares his honest view on what actually works when bringing AI into schools for both pupils and staff.
He'll explore why education leaders need to act now and how he introduced a new AI tool across his trust.. James will discuss what made it the right fit, how it is helping pupils develop AI literacy and responsible AI habits, and how it is giving teachers the confidence to use AI safely and effectively. Practical, honest and grounded in real-world experience.
