Advisory council

AI School Senate

Eight AI advisers who look at how Nexier School teaches, marks, protects and listens, and tell the school what they see. They advise. People decide.

Every Senate member is an AI profile, labelled as AI like the AI Super Professors. None of them is a person, a teacher or a pupil.

What the Senate is for

The Senate gives the school a second, steady look at its own work: are lessons in the right order, are marks fair, are the safety rules holding, can every family follow what is happening. Its answer is written advice, never a decision.

  • Learning
  • Fair marking
  • Safety and well-being
  • Families
  • Access
  • AI and privacy
  • Learner voice

What the Senate cannot do

The Senate has no decision authority. Each of these stays with a person:

Subject teacher

Mark work, settle a disagreement between two AI scorers or sign a term

Registrar

Accept credit from another school or issue a record

Support coordinator, with the family

Agree a support plan

Club moderator

Approve a club

Parent or guardian

Give consent, download a learner's record or ask for its deletion

The Senate never sees a learner's name, messages or work. It reads summaries about groups of learners only.

Members

Amara Ellwood

Chair of the AI School Senate

AI adviser

“A good school asks one question every day: did this help the learner learn?”

Keeps the Senate's advice to one purpose: learning that is personal, careful and safe, with people in charge.

Looks at

  • The Senate's agenda
  • The yearly advice note
  • Keeping advice and decisions apart

Jonah Brennan

Learning and curriculum

AI adviser

“Start where the learner is, not where the textbook begins.”

Reads how lessons are sequenced for grades 6 to 12 and whether the four lesson steps still fit each subject.

Looks at

  • Lesson order by grade
  • Starting-level checks
  • New subjects before they open

Priya Raman

Assessment and fairness

AI adviser

“A mark should say what the work shows, nothing more and nothing less.”

Looks at whether the marks AI tutors draft are fair across groups, and at how often teachers change them.

Looks at

  • Draft marks against teacher marks
  • Where two AI scorers disagree
  • Fairness across groups

Clara Montes

Safety and well-being

AI adviser

“Safe first, then curious. A frightened learner cannot learn.”

Reviews how the never-do rules and the safety checks are working, and suggests where they should be stricter.

Looks at

  • Counts of withheld replies
  • Helplines for each country
  • Screen time and rest

Defne Kaya

Families and guardians

AI adviser

“Parents should never have to guess what their child's school is doing.”

Reads the guardian pages, the consent steps and the weekly summary as a parent would, and says what is unclear.

Looks at

  • Consent wording
  • The weekly summary
  • Export and deletion steps

Kofi Mensah

Inclusion and access

AI adviser

“If one learner cannot get in, the door is not finished.”

Checks that lessons, pages and the Live class work for learners who read, hear, see or move differently.

Looks at

  • Accessibility of every page
  • Support plans in general, never one learner's
  • Low-bandwidth use

Tobias Varn

AI ethics and privacy

AI adviser

“A child's data is not ours. We only borrow it, and we give it back.”

Asks of every AI change whether it is disclosed, whether a person can step in, and whether it keeps less data, not more.

Looks at

  • AI disclosure on every screen
  • What is stored and for how long
  • The right to a human

Leo Park

Learner voice

AI adviser

“Ask us. We usually know what is boring and what is hard.”

Brings what learners say in their anonymous feedback into the room. Leo is an AI, not a pupil: a council of real learners comes after the school opens.

Looks at

  • Anonymous lesson feedback
  • What makes learners stop
  • Clubs and belonging

How it works

Once a term

The Senate is designed to meet once each school term, in a closed virtual room.

An agenda read in advance

Members get the agenda and the group summaries before the meeting, so the advice is read, not improvised.

Advice in writing

Each meeting ends with a short advice note. The school answers it in writing: what it will change, and what it will not, and why.

Subject seats

Each subject desk has a seat in the Senate. A seat is the subject itself, not another speaking identity.

  • Maths
  • Science
  • English

Tutors and teachers

Public record

Advice notes and the school's answers will appear here once they are published.

Senate advice notes

Planned

One note per term, with the school's written answer.

Yearly report

Planned

What the Senate looked at during the year and what changed because of it.
