AI in education
isn't a technology

question.

It's a leadership one.

The problem

Most schools are making one of two mistakes with AI.

Mistake one

Ignoring it.

Waiting for clearer DfE guidance. Assuming the school is too small to be affected. Hoping the AI conversation goes away.

While leadership waits, teachers are already using AI tools — without training, without oversight, without anyone knowing what data those tools are processing.

Mistake two

Adopting it carelessly.

Buying tools without governance. Deploying without training. Letting vendors make the decisions. Calling it an AI strategy.

AI tools not embedded in curriculum practice don't improve outcomes. They add complexity. When Ofsted asks how AI serves curriculum intent, there's no credible answer.

The third path
Structured.
Governed.
Evidenced.
That's what we build.
What we do

Six areas. One coherent practice.

Every engagement begins with understanding your school. What we recommend depends on what we find — not on what's easiest to sell.

AI Policy Development

Bespoke policies aligned with DfE guidance, Ofsted expectations and UK GDPR — written for your school, not a generic template.

Data Protection & Governance

GDPR-compliant tool approval, DPIAs for every AI tool in use, and a governance framework that protects your school under ICO scrutiny.

Staff Training Programmes

Subject-specific, practical sessions that move teachers from anxious to capable. Not a one-day tick-box — practice that actually sticks.

Tool Selection & Procurement

Independent advisory on which AI tools genuinely serve your curriculum intent. We hold no financial interest in any tool we recommend.

Curriculum AI Implementation

AI embedded inside specific departments, mapped to EIF Intent → Implementation → Impact, with resources and evidence built alongside teachers.

Administrative Efficiency

Audit and redesign of your school's administrative systems — reducing hours spent on reporting, tracking and communication.

About Cursoria

"I approach AI in schools the way an operator does, not a theorist."

I've spent years at the intersection of technology and people operations — working across SaaS platforms, IoT deployments and customer success at scale. I understand what good implementation looks like. I know exactly how it fails.

I've engaged with teachers, headteachers, MAT directors and curriculum leads across the UK, West Africa, South Africa and Southeast Asia. What I hear consistently: schools are under pressure to act on AI and under-equipped to do it well.

I have no interest in recommending a tool that isn't right for your school. My value is the advice, the implementation, and the confidence your leadership team feels when Ofsted arrives.
