Practical, compliant AI implementation tailored for your school. We combine staff training with KCSIE-aligned governance to reduce teacher workload without the guesswork.
AI is already in your school, whether it's been approved or not. Our job is to make it safe, consistent and genuinely useful — in that order.
Based on schools we've worked with. We baseline first so the results are real.
Rough per-term figures based on a typical 2-form entry primary school, over a 10-week working estimate. Savings vary by school size and phase — we always baseline with your school first before making any specific claims.
Who's behind AskColin
I'm Neil. For more than five years I've worked on AI governance inside large organisations — the policies, the risk frameworks, the training, and the unglamorous work of getting people to use these tools properly rather than quietly on personal accounts.
I'm also a school governor and a parent, so I know how different a school is from a corporate office: no IT department down the hall, no compliance team, and a leadership team already at capacity before AI turned up.
AskColin exists to bring the first to the second. The same governance discipline, translated into something a primary school can actually use — and an honest answer about what AI shouldn't be used for, which is usually the more useful half of the conversation.
The newsletter used to take my office manager the better part of a morning. Now it's done in 20 minutes and it's better written than before. That's not an exaggeration.
I was genuinely sceptical. I've sat through enough “AI will change everything” training to last a lifetime. This was completely different — practical, honest, and it actually worked.
The governor report took me half the time it usually does. I kept waiting to feel like I'd cut corners — but it was better, not worse. The draft gave me something to shape rather than something to create from scratch.
What I appreciate most is that Colin doesn't oversell it. He told us exactly what AI could help with, and more importantly, what it shouldn't be used for. That honesty made the whole team trust the process.
Ask anything. No obligation, no sales sequence — I reply personally.
