Artificial Intelligence and the Queenswood Curriculum

Whilst we take great pride in the progress we have already made in implementing our girl-centred digital strategy, we acknowledge the constantly shifting and evolving nature in this area of education. The emergence of Large Language Model based generative AI marks a transformative step for humanity, and this will be reflected in the education sector as in our broader society. AI's myriad applications, such as tailoring educational experiences, delivering real-time feedback, enabling low-stakes self-assessment, and offering personalised 1-on-1 support outside the classroom, underscore its potential to completely revolutionise education.

AI also presents an evolving area of risk, one that requires careful thought and management to minimise any potential negative impacts.

At Queenswood we are committed to carefully evaluating the implications of this profound change, ensuring that our students are able to harness the power of AI correctly and responsibly, whilst concurrently educating our students about the potential pitfalls they may encounter. This commitment is woven into our broader strategy to cultivate a dynamic and forward-thinking learning environment.

At Queenswood, we commit to:

1. Embrace AI as a core component of learning:
   We recognise AI's growing importance in our students' lives and are committed to providing a safe environment for them to explore and understand its use and application.
2. Foster AI literacy for all:
   Students, staff, and parents will be empowered to become knowledgeable and confident in using AI tools and understanding their implications.
3. Integrate AI across the curriculum:
   AI will not be an isolated topic but instead woven into various subjects, enabling students and staff to utilise it daily to enhance teaching and learning.
4. Address unintended consequences: We acknowledge potential challenges, particularly related to academic integrity, and will proactively work to mitigate any negative impacts arising from AI use.
5. Collaborate and share expertise: Staff will actively engage with colleagues, other educational institutions, and professional development opportunities to ensure Queenswood becomes a leader in AI education.
