Haileybury receives a delegation from Google for Education
We were incredibly honoured to welcome a prominent delegation from Google for Education, led by Ben Gomes, Google’s Chief Technologist for Learning and Sustainability, to Haileybury today.
The visit was prompted by Google’s interest in our trailblazing approach to digital and AI-integrated education.
- Director of Digital Innovation and Enterprise, Tom Wade, kicked off the day by detailing our philosophy of using technology to enhance learning.
- We discussed our curriculum focus on practical AI literacy, enabling pupils from Year 9 (Removes) and upwards to utilise tools like Gemini and NotebookLM responsibly for academic research.
- The delegation also gained direct access to the pupil perspective through a focused AI discussion group and saw our blended learning model in action by observing Digital Innovations and other academic classes.
The day concluded with high-level discussions with the Master and Director of Teaching and Learning during a productive roundtable.
It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase how we are shaping the future of learning, ensuring our pupils are prepared to engage with technology ethically and effectively.
