Cranleigh School: Pedagogy Before Technology | AI Quality Mark Silver

At the Good Future Foundation's booth at Festival of Education 2026, Dave Butcher (Assistant Head, Digital Strategy) and Maddie Best (Assistant Head, Teaching and Learning) explain how Cranleigh School built an AI culture rooted in pedagogy, research and judgment. Dave shares Cranleigh's founding principle — technology only has educational value when it improves learning — and how that shapes everything from staff training to platform choice. He talks through the school's research partnerships, their CHAP framework for pupil judgment, and their four-level AI usage scale used in every classroom. Maddie then explains Cranleigh's diploma curriculum, which builds technology literacy from Year 9 through sixth form, and the new staff micro-credentialing programme launching in September. -- The AI Quality Mark is Good Future Foundation's verified pathway for schools to demonstrate strategic, responsible AI implementation.
