Transparency in communications

Transparency in Our Communications

At North Walkden Primary School, we are committed to open and honest communication with our parents and carers. In line with our core values of honesty, responsibility, and respect, we want to be transparent about how we sometimes use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to assist in some aspects of our communications.

What does this mean for you?

• AI tools may be used to help draft letters, newsletters, or responses to general enquiries to ensure clarity and consistency.

• All communications are carefully reviewed by our staff to maintain a warm, personal, and respectful tone that reflects our school’s nurturing ethos.

• When AI is used, it is always with the intention of enhancing our ability to keep you informed quickly and effectively, especially when responding to common questions or sharing important updates.

• Sensitive and individual matters are always handled personally by our experienced staff, ensuring confidentiality and care.

We believe this approach supports our vision of aiming high and striving for excellence by embracing helpful technologies while maintaining the personal touch that makes our school feel like a family.

Why We Share This Information

We understand that trust is the foundation of the strong relationships we build with our families. Being clear about how we communicate, including the use of AI, helps you feel confident that:

• Your child’s welfare and education are always our top priority.

• Communications are timely, accurate, and respectful.

• We are committed to safeguarding and inclusion, ensuring all interactions uphold our values of independence, perseverance, and pride in our school community.
