Artificial Intelligence (AI)
You may be familiar with Generative AI tools such as Gemini, ChatGPT and Copilot. Here at Roundwood Park School, we recognise that AI is a powerful tool that students can use to help them learn. However, it also has its limitations and dangers, some mentioned below:
- AI can be wrong or biased
- AI can be used for cheating and plagiarism
- AI can limit the brain’s ability to reach its full potential
- AI can hallucinate – AI hallucinations are when the AI ‘finds’ patterns or objects that are nonexistent, which can create outputs that are nonsensical or altogether inaccurate.
With this in mind we have created the RPS AI Framework.
RPS AI Framework
We do not want to stop students from using AI, but we want to make sure they are using it safely, and that they understand the risks and limitations of using it.
Before any tasks or home learning is set, teachers will tell students which AI Framework option they are allowed to use. If this is not mentioned, students will assume 1 – No AI.
Example Tasks that students may be set:
No AI – Plan and answer the following past paper question…
Planning – Tell AI to provide a structure for a 25 mark exam question based on a [exam board] [qualification] [subject] marking scheme on [topic].
Collaboration – Use AI to mark a first draft essay then ReACT in red based on the suggestions given.
Full AI – Have a discussion with the AI. Tell the AI to ‘roleplay’ as a German waiter in a café. Have a 10-minute text conversation where you order a meal and complain about the food.
Exploration – Ask the AI to propose a complex scenario involving self-driving cars. Debate the solution with the AI. You argue from a con perspective; force the AI to argue from a pro perspective. Critique the AI’s logic. Does it truly understand the sanctity of life, or is it just calculating numbers?
Unacceptable Uses of AI
AI must not be used for the following at Roundwood Park School:
- Academic malpractice and dishonesty
- Generating/accessing harmful content
- Breaking school rules
- To enter any personal data (any information that can be used to identify people like names, addresses or birthdays)
If these rules are broken, there is a behaviour policy in place.
Please note this does not apply to vocational assignments and NEAs. They have separate rules – refer to subject guidance on this.
Please also refer to guidance from the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) on the misuse of AI during assessments – HERE
Tips on Using AI For Smart Learning
When using AI students should ensure they use ‘CRAFTED’ AI prompts and check the ‘FACTS’.
