What new content do you add, and how often?+
We add and refresh modules every academic term as AI changes, new tools, new risks, new ways pupils use it. The programme is shaped with teachers and built around UK guidance and the curriculum, so the library stays current rather than a one-off snapshot.
Why does AI literacy matter now?+
Around half of 8 to 17 year olds already use AI tools (Ofcom, 2025) and most are never taught how it works or how to use it safely. Equipping them now prepares them for the world they are growing into.
What does Ofsted expect?+
Ofsted does not inspect AI tools, but it considers how a school's approach to technology affects safeguarding and the quality of education, and holds leaders responsible. Online safety is statutory under KCSIE, and Curio helps you show you are meeting that responsibility.
Which age groups is Curio for?+
Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3, ages 7 to 14. Each stage has its own content, written for that age group.
Who benefits from it?+
Everyone in the school, in different ways. Leaders and safeguarding leads get evidence for the AI policy, teachers get a programme that runs itself, and pupils get something they enjoy. The For Schools page sets out what each role gets.
Is our pupils' data safe?+
Yes, by design. Pupils sign in with a class code and first name and PIN, never an email. Curio holds as little data as possible in line with the Children's Code, and aligns to the DfE's Generative AI Product Safety Standards.
