This online Prompt Craft guide begins to support the school and trust leaders to use and ‘craft’ prompts to produce outcomes more quickly and efficiently. These prompts are more detailed and sophisticated than those provided in our 'first steps' prompt guides. Here, we want to help you improve the quality of the outcome of using GenAI whilst also introducing you to more detailed, more advanced prompts. The better the prompt, the more likely is is that you will get an outcome that better suits your needs.

You can copy the prompts we have created - listed in the purple 'In this section' box - as a starting point for common-time intensive tasks.

These prompts can then be modified to suit your needs and, we hope, inspire you to create further advanced prompts for other tasks.

With experience, your prompt craft will develop and you’ll begin to write your own prompts – simple or complex, short or long, single or multi-stepped – to fulfil your needs.

We hope the prompts provided here begin to exemplify how generative AI can start to be used in educational settings to reduce workload. Please try out new prompts and share what works with us so we can disseminate these to other leaders, teachers, and support staff users of generative AI.

Please remember not to share any personal data (including your own, colleagues, and that of pupils/students) in any format with generative AI tools that do not include Commercial Data Protection. You are bound by your school/trust Data Protection and Internet Security and related policies. Please consult with your Headteacher, Trust or responsible body.

Exceed Academies Trust staff should review, sign and return the Acceptable Use Agreement to your Headteacher prior to using Artificial Intelligence.
