But it can help you test your thinking.<\/p><p>Tools like Microsoft Copilot can summarise complex reports, compare inspection frameworks or generate scenarios based on your school\u2019s data. You can carry out research with Perplexity or use the Deep Research tools in ChatGPT and Gemini.

You can say something like:<\/p><p>\u201cTake on the role of a headteacher writing to parents about a new mobile phone policy. Keep it firm but friendly.\u201d<\/p><p>You can feed in data (anonymised, of course) and get insights and suggestions that give you a solid starting point. You still polish it.
