9th December 2025 | 0930 - 1445 | Franklin Sixth Form College, Grimsby

In association with Franklin Sixth Form College, we invite senior leaders to join us for interactive sessions hosted by KRCS and Apple, alongside a free lunch at midday.

You’ll hear how Mac and iPad can impact learning outcomes in Sixth Form Colleges and Academy Trusts. Learn how to harness AI to support inclusive practice, and get hands on experience of what is possible with Apple technology to support accessibility and inclusion in the classroom.

Accessibility

Accessibility features are built into every Apple product and are fundamental to providing equitable access for all learners. Features for hearing, mobility, vision and cognition (motor skills) allow learners with disabilities to be autonomous, creative and to develop confidence.

Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence integrates AI into Apple devices, enhancing education by streamlining teacher productivity through features like data-driven lesson planning and writing assistance, and empowering students with creative and assistive tools. While specific features and integrations are still emerging, the overall role is to offer more intuitive, efficient, and tailored educational experiences for both teachers and students by embedding AI capabilities across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
