76% of teachers are already using AI tools in their work, yet only 20% feel they have the training required to use them effectively. This statistic highlights a significant gap for school leaders to navigate. While the adoption of AI is moving at pace, there is an urgent need for professional development to ensure its use remains ethical and pedagogically sound. Supporting educators isn’t merely about providing access to new software; it’s about fostering the confidence and fluency to lead in a digital-first classroom.

Introducing The British Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia. We're excited to announce the title of this year's exhibition by artist Lubaina Himid, Predicting History: Testing Translation. Through a new series of large, multipaneled paintings in dazzling colours and surreal, magical settings, Himid establishes characters, narratives, and imagined dialogues, collaborating with Magda Stawarska to create a surreal soundscape. With thanks to our major partner, Artfund; our supporting partner, Frieze; and our commission partner, Henry Moore Foundation.
