The workload crisis continues to overwhelm schools, with staff spending an average of two hours everyday on administrative tasks. In this talk, we’ll address two promising solutions: AI and automation. Conversations around AI in education often focus on teaching and learning, but at Arbor, we believe that everyone from teachers and leaders, to back-office staff and governors should benefit from AI efficiencies. Plus, automated workflows can help schools to rethink the way they work, streamlining hundreds of everyday manual processes like absence management, Ofsted reporting, school trips and risk assessments. This session features CEO James Weatherill and a guest from an Arbor school, sharing insights on creating a more efficient, inspiring, and future-ready school environment.
