At Driffield School & Sixth Form, Rebecca Brigham, Teacher of Geography and APEX Lead, has helped embed Peerscroller across both the PSHE curriculum and wider pastoral provision.

Tips from Driffield School & Sixth Form for Embedding Peerscroller

Create a joined-up approach

"Consistency is key. At Driffield we have found that embedding Peerscroller into lessons, pastoral support, and wider school communications is creating a joined-up approach that maximises engagement and hopefully long-term impact on students’ personal development."

Give staff time to explore the platform

"We introduced Peerscroller to our PSHE teaching staff during Team Development Meetings held in a computer room, allowing colleagues to log into the teacher portal and explore the platform first-hand."

Dedicate time for student sign-ups

“Initially, we dedicated curriculum time to support students with registration, including a focused 30-minute session to ensure all learners could access the platform confidently."

Engage parents and guardians early

"We promoted Peerscroller to parents and guardians through information stands at school events, ensuring the wider school community understood its purpose and benefits."

Make Peerscroller visible everyday

"We have utilised posters, leaflets, and promotional materials across the school to raise awareness, while pastoral staff regularly reinforce key messages and signpost students to relevant content when students require additional support."
