Guidance and template policy for maintained primary schools implementing AI

Last updated on 16 July 2025

As schools explore how AI might be used as a tool to enhance education and improve efficiencies, it is crucial to integrate it thoughtfully and responsibly. For many this will include developing and implementing a policy.  

On the Hertfordshire Grid a new restricted page has been added within the ‘Edtech, AI and technology in schools’ section, to provide guidance for maintained primary schools and settings implementing AI.

This guidance is designed to support Hertfordshire maintained primary schools. You will need to be logged into the Hertfordshire Grid to be able to access the page and downloadable documents.

Once logged into the Hertfordshire GRID, the page and materials can be accessed here:

Artificial intelligence (AI) essential considerations and guidance for maintained primary schools

This includes 3 items which can be downloaded:

  • AI Guidance for maintained primaries (PDF)
  • AI Policy Guide Template (PDF)
  • Editable AI Checklist Poster (PPTX)

If you are a maintained primary school and have specific questions about this guidance and policy template, please contact Chris.carter@hfleducation.org.
