Teaching the Future
AI is going to be part of your students' lives. The question is whether your school is ready for it.
Chalk Lines works with secondary schools to build a coherent, shared understanding of AI — across leadership, staff and students. Not a tool subscription. Not a one-size-fits-all policy template. A real programme, delivered by someone who's been in your staffroom.

The problem
Here's where most schools are right now.
Around 60% of teachers are already using AI. Around 76% have received no training on it. Somewhere in your building, people are using these tools every day — to plan lessons, write reports, give feedback — without a shared framework, without a policy that actually reflects reality, and without anyone having had an honest conversation about what that means.
That's not a criticism. It's just where things are. AI moved faster than any school could have planned for.
But the window for getting ahead of it is closing. The DfE has set a target of 60% of schools having certified AI leads by the end of 2026. The schools that move now will be setting the standard. The ones that wait will be catching up.
Chalk Lines exists to help you move now.
Why Choose Chalk Lines?
Most AI training in schools does one of two things: it gives leaders a policy framework with no buy-in from staff, or it gives staff a tools demo with no connection to anything strategic. Students, if they're considered at all, get a session about plagiarism.
Chalk Lines works differently, because real change in a school needs all three layers working together.
SLT
Strategy, policy and positioning. We work with SLT to build a coherent school response to AI — one that reflects your values, manages your risks, and gives your staff and students a clear framework to work within.
Staff
Practical CPD that actually reduces workload. Not "here are twelve tools you should try" — but a workflow-by-workflow look at where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn't, and how to use it in ways that are consistent, ethical and effective. Staff leave with something they can use on Monday morning.
Students
Not a lecture about plagiarism. A genuine conversation about identity, voice and independence in an AI world. What does it mean to think for yourself when a machine can think for you? Students leave with a framework for making their own decisions — not just a list of rules.
What Happens Next?
No hard sell. No lengthy proposal before we've even spoken.
Get in touch, tell me a bit about where your school is with AI right now, and we'll have an honest conversation about whether Chalk Lines is the right fit and if so, what that looks like.
