Bridge Academy Trust may use generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to assist with a range of tasks, including but not limited to: lesson planning, lesson resources, policy drafting, report writing, website content, letters, emails, and other professional documents. Where AI tools have been used to support the creation of content, this is done in line with our internal Principles of AI Use and always involves professional oversight and judgement.

Our guiding principles for the use of AI are:

• Be Transparent

• Protect Data Privacy and Security

• Maintain Human Oversight

• Be Accountable

• Ensure Ethical and Fair Use

• Monitor Use and Impact

• Stay Informed on Generative AI Advancements

• Respect Intellectual Property

All AI use is reviewed to ensure it aligns with these principles and complies with data protection legislation. Personal or sensitive information is never shared with AI tools unless appropriate safeguards are in place and the tool is Trust-approved. Oversight and human judgement are maintained in all AI-supported processes to prevent misinformation, bias, or unfair outcomes.
