How school leaders and subject leaders can use AI for policy drafts, improvement plans, curriculum maps and leadership documentation.
Who this guide is for
Headteachers, school leaders, subject leaders and staff preparing leadership documents.
Overview
AI can help leaders structure documents, turn notes into first drafts and create clearer review prompts. It should be used for drafting and organisation, not as a replacement for governance, statutory guidance or leadership judgement.
Recommended workflow
- Start with agreed priorities, local procedures or required policy headings.
- Generate a structured first draft with actions, owners, review points or responsibilities.
- Check against statutory, trust, local authority or governance requirements.
- Edit for school context, approval process, review date and audience.
Classroom examples
School improvement plan
Turn a broad priority into actions, owners, milestones, evidence sources and monitoring questions.
Policy draft
Create a first version of a school policy section from agreed headings and local procedures.
Subject policy
Draft a subject policy that links intent, implementation, assessment, inclusion and monitoring.
Curriculum map
Create a draft map showing units, term order, retrieval points and assessment opportunities.
Use cases

Limitations and review points

- Policies must reflect actual school practice and current requirements.
- Leadership documents need local approval before publication.
- School priorities should come from evidence, self-evaluation and leadership judgement.
