Staincliffe CE Junior School

Smartphones and socials put a whole universe of information at your fingertips.

But how do you know what to trust? That’s where Peerscroller comes in.

Learners at Staincliffe Junior School are among the first in the country to get access to a Peerscroller, a brand new PSHE and wellbeing resource.

How does Peerscroller work?

Peerscroller puts essential life skills into bitesized TikTok-style videos - all delivered by relatable role models.

Peerscroller’s bank of videos provide trustworthy and relatable information on the topics every young person needs to know about; whether that’s PSHE curriculum content or a trustworthy source of advice on up-to-the-minute topics like vaping, digital wellbeing, and more.

Hit unfollow on fake news Everything on Peerscroller is fact-checked: so you know you can believe what you’re seeing.	Tailor made for Gen A to Z Peerscroller videos are made by the digital generation - so it’s more TikTok, less CBeebies.	Modern life is fast. So are we. We move quickly to tackle topics as they trend, like fast fashion, social media safety, and loot boxes.

It looks and feels like social media, with peer presenters communicating in their own language.

But unlike in the wild west of the online world, every video has been made and fact-checked in-house, and there’s no way for users to interact with one another or share their own content.

Some of the topics Peerscroller covers...

Exams and Revision	Socials, Gaming, and Online Safety	Healthy Living and Mental Wellbeing	Making a Difference	The Law

How will Peerscroller be used?

Pupils and parents both get access to Peerscroller via the mobile app, available on iOS and Android devices, to answer real life questions whenever they pop up.

And staff can use Peerscroller videos in-class or when supporting pupils pastorally.

** Parents/carers - make sure you watch a video before your child does as some of the content is for older children.        ** There is a search icon so you can select a topic to learn about rather than just letting them scroll through for themselves.
