AiQ at Alleyn's
Blending digital, ethical, and empathetic skills to creatively solve real-world problems for the benefit of society and the planet.
At Alleyn’s, we are preparing young people not just for the world as it is, but for the world as it could be. The Alleyn’s Intelligence Quotient (AiQ) teaches young people to turn their education into agency, by bringing design and digital skills together to build ethical and inclusive solutions to real world problems.
In an ever-changing world, AiQ encourages pupils to work
with
technology, but also to question it. They learn to think critically about the role of digital tools and innovation, understanding not only how to use them, but how to shape them responsibly.
The Future of Learning
The AiQ is both a both a framework and a curriculum designed to equip pupils with the skills, values, and mindset to help shape a more just and regenerative future. It reminds children that life and its challenges are ever-changing, and that effective problem-solvers think in many directions.
At the start of their journey Alleyn’s Junior School pupils follow a CONNECT, CARE, CREATE framework. As they progress to Alleyn’s Senior School pupils go onto follow our BE, THINK, MAKE, DO framework, building the character, creativity, and critical thinking needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Our senior school framework is underpinned by The Doughnut – a tool for transformative action (DEAL, 2024). Read more about the foundations of the senior school AIQ framework in this publication
here
The AiQ breaks down barriers between subjects, connecting knowledge and techniques from across the curriculum to inspire pupils to become confident, creative problem solvers.
Pupils learn not only how to navigate and shape technology with confidence, but also how to use digital systems thoughtfully and responsibly. From Reception through to Year 12, every pupil takes part in a class-based project designed to spark curiosity, collaboration, and innovation at an age-appropriate level.
Alleyn’s Junior School projects have been carefully planned to complement existing subjects taught in the junior school curriculum.
Junior school pupils progress through the following five stages:
Kindness to Advocacy
Emotional Literacy to Ethical Leadership
Tangible Creations to Digital Innovation
Local Care to Global Awareness
Learning With to Leading Others
Across our senior school projects and partnerships, pupils develop the ability to be, think, make, and do for impact: growing in character, clarity of thought, and communication; collaborating with people and technology; and applying their learning through real-world, experiential projects.
AiQ classes are:
Practical and rooted: we want to develop human and digital skills which impact our local and global communities
Open-minded and exploratory: we are seeking tools, stories and solutions which sit beyond our own experience
Creative and collaborative: we can lean on each other in developing our epistemic and impactful agency
Covering four pillars and unpinned by sustainable and regenerative thinking, which raises awareness of the social and environmental impact of our choices, the AiQ skillset is woven through all projects:
Innovation and enterprise
Purpose and moral Integrity
Critical consumption and clarity of communication
Creativity and collaboration for co-creating
The AiQ is designed for pupils from Reception through to Year 12. During their time at school, they will complete a class-based project designed for their age range. Pupils will learn how to navigate and shape tech and digital tools with confidence, as well as the develop skills needed to use digital systems.
