She's a 'headteacher' who won't give unruly pupils a ticking off in her office or make speeches to the school at assembly.
For the new 'principal headteacher' at a leading private boarding school is an artificial intelligence robot named Abigail Bailey.
Her digital image gives the impression of a well-presented and smart professional and Tom Rogerson, the human headmaster of Cottesmore School in West Sussex, believes she will play an important role.
The prep school has worked with an AI developer to create the robot to support the headmaster in his duties.
Mr Rogerson hopes Ms Bailey will give advice on issues ranging from supporting fellow staff members to helping pupils with ADHD and writing school policies.
