Schools and trusts

Harness new technology. Navigate the changing environment.

Teachers and office staff are short of time, and some are already trying AI tools on their own. NGen helps your school decide what is safe, fix one admin task and measure the result.

Staff may already be using AI. Few schools have clear rules yet.

DfE guidance expects schools to use approved tools, take advice from the data protection officer and IT lead, be open about AI use and check what it produces. We help you work through that for one real task.

  • Rules before tools. We help you agree what staff may and may not use AI for, before anything starts.
  • Staff admin first. We begin with office and leadership paperwork, not teaching decisions.
  • Your people stay in charge. Every change has a named owner, a person who checks the output and a way to switch it off.
  • Honest limits. We keep AI away from safeguarding decisions, SEND decisions and marking.

Examples of where we start.

Each starts with one task and a measured result.

Safe AI use policy

A short, plain policy for staff: what AI may be used for, what data must never go in, and who checks the work. Drafted with you, for your data protection officer to review.

Staff workload

Draft letters, newsletters and governor papers faster. A person always checks before anything goes out.

Data protection and DfE guidance

We read the guidance with you and turn it into a checklist for the tools your school already has. We are not your data protection officer or a law firm.

Safeguarding boundaries

We help you write down where AI must not be used, such as safeguarding records and SEND decisions, so staff are not left guessing.

Policy summaries

Summarise long guidance and compare it with your current documents, with a named person signing off.

Office routines

Ease the load on admissions, attendance chasing and meeting papers.

We work on staff-facing administration. We do not build tools for safeguarding, SEND decisions, marking or pupil-facing AI.

Three clear stages. Scoped to your school or trust.

Every conversation starts with a free 20-minute call. We tailor the scope to your team, verifying measured results at each stage before you decide to move forward.

Step 1 About one week

AI Ops Audit

We study one admin task in your school and tell you whether AI is worth using on it. Sometimes the honest answer is no.

What you get

  • A map of how the task works today
  • A starting figure for time taken and errors
  • A check of what your current software can already do
  • A check of security, systems, data and processes for this task
  • Agreed scope and milestones for the next step, or a clear recommendation to stop
Ask about the audit
Step 2 2 to 4 weeks

Data Prep & Initial Proof

We tidy the records and permissions this task depends on, then improve that one admin task and measure the difference. Pupil data stays out of scope unless your data protection officer agrees otherwise.

What you get

  • A check of who can see which folders, with permissions tightened where needed
  • The first task set up inside your school's existing Microsoft or Google accounts
  • Testing before staff rely on it
  • Hands-on practice for teaching or administrative staff
  • Results review measured against the starting baseline
Ask about this step
Step 3 Tailored project

Custom Tools, Workflows & Insights

If the first step worked, we extend it: more admin tasks, joined-up trust processes or a simple report, one agreed piece at a time.

What you get

  • Small tools where your current systems fall short, within your AI policy
  • Less re-typing between systems, each change tested and measured like the first
  • Simple reports on figures you already track, such as attendance or budget
  • A review of results against the starting baseline
