What you get

A report you can act on

The School AI Readiness Scorecard is a free five-minute assessment for school leaders. Twelve questions across six areas produce an instant report with strengths, safeguards to check and a 90-day plan.

Your report connects your answers to selected OECD and UNESCO frameworks, plus relevant local guidance where a reviewed regional comparison is available.

01

Your readiness indicator

An overall score, six area results and a candid summary. ‘I’m not sure’ answers are shown honestly rather than guessed.

02

A 90-day plan

Three priorities with an owner, an output, a date and a way to check progress.

03

Safeguards

Anything that needs strengthening or confirming, shown separately from the average.

04

A recommended next step with Dan

Coaching, a keynote or workshop, or a fractional AI lead for 12 months, with the reason drawn from your answers. Plus a PDF to share with colleagues.

Who it is for

Written for the people who decide

  • Headteachers and principals
  • Senior leaders responsible for AI or digital strategy
  • Trust and district leaders answering for a group of schools
  • Governors and board members who want a clear picture
Before you start
How long does it take?

Most people finish in about five minutes. There is nothing to look up and no written answers.

Do I have to give my email?

No. Your results appear on screen straight away and you can download the PDF. If you add your email, we send the PDF to you as well.

What if I do not know an answer?

Choose ‘I’m not sure’. It counts as zero confirmed points, and the report tells you which questions to take back to colleagues.

Is the score worked out by AI?

No. Every answer earns 0 to 3 points with equal weights, using the same fixed rules for everyone.

Is this an inspection or audit?

No. It is a candid starting point based on what you report about your school. It is not an inspection, certification or legal audit.

Five minutes. A clear starting point.

Answer for what is in place today. You will see your results straight away.
