In this episode, Tim welcomes Laura Knight, former teacher and founder of Sapio, to explore how schools, trusts and universities can adopt AI in a way that is safe, values led and genuinely useful. Drawing on two decades in classrooms and leadership, plus recent work contributing to Department for Education guidance, Laura sets out a clear path that puts principles before tools.

She explains how real adoption in education often starts at the grassroots with curious teachers and students, while leaders work to catch up on policy, procurement and safeguarding. We dig into practical steps that protect children and staff while enabling innovation, including data privacy, transparency, and governance that supports wise mavericks rather than shutting them down.

From curriculum and digital wellbeing to device strategy and classroom practice, Laura shows how to focus on outcomes and evidence rather than product churn. We look at what the new DfE guidance means day to day, how to choose platforms that fit your vision, and how to build staff confidence so AI enhances teaching and learning rather than replacing the human connection.
