What We Assess

9 dimensions of AI readiness

Every school’s AI provision is unique. Our audit examines nine interconnected areas so you can see where your school is confident, where the gaps are, and what to do next.

The dimensions below give you a clear, practical view of the areas that shape responsible AI adoption in schools. They are intentionally broad here: enough to understand the audit, without overwhelming you with the internal assessment model.
