St Aldhelm's Primary School about 3 days ago Today is Safer Internet Day and in a special assembly this morning we explored this year's theme 'Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI'. It was amazing to see our children's knowledge and use of AI, even for our very youngest children.
Classes deepened their understanding of AI with some classes exploring how to stay safe with smart speakers like Alexa or looking at situations in which AI is okay or not okay to use. BeliefAspirationAdvocacy Our new nursery, Little Lambs, opened in September 2025.
