Top Tips from Schools and Colleges (2025–26)
Prioritise staff confidence
“Staff had the chance to get registered, log in, and explore the simplicity of the platform. This had a really positive impact and helped staff feel confident using it within their own classrooms."
Before rolling Peerscroller out widely, William Hulme Grammar School gave staff time to explore the platform, attend training sessions from the Peerscroller team, and ask questions. Investing in staff confidence early made using the platform feel much more natural.
Introduce Peerscroller in multiple spaces
“We have had lots of conversations with young people asking what ‘Peerscroller’ is. This has enhanced our tutorial offer and given our resources a greater depth and breadth.”
At Trafford & Stockport College Group, visibility was key. From tutorials and inductions to campus TV screens, students encountered Peerscroller regularly in everyday environments, helping to build curiosity and familiarity over time.
Give students time to sign up
“Students were given 30 minutes of lesson time to initially sign up in class. Following that, the dashboard is used to promote topics searched by specific year groups.”
At Beverley Grammar School, students were given lesson time specifically to download and explore the platform. Rather than expecting students to do it independently later, building setup time into the school day helped drive engagement from the start.
Use Peerscroller to strengthen tutorials and tutor time
“The scope for new content and tailored packs really helps us link Peerscroller with what we're already covering in tutorials.”
At Oldham Sixth Form College, staff used videos to enrich tutorial sessions and bring topics like study skills and positive thinking to life. Short-form content can help tutors introduce meaningful conversations without needing extensive preparation.
Engage parents with the platform
“The most effective strategy has been sharing Peerscroller posters with parents at Parents’ Evenings and Options Evenings. Parents have been highly supportive as the platform is safe and free from toxic or misleading content.”
Corpus Christi Catholic College shared Peerscroller posters with parents at Parents' Evenings and Options' Evenings, encouraging their involvement and helping to bridge the gap between school and home. Parents were highly supportive of the platform and this approach has helped increase student engagement too.
Use the bite-sized content to introduce complex topics
“Staff have valued the bite sized, student friendly format, which helps reduce barriers when introducing topics such as county lines, knife crime, wellbeing and safeguarding.”
At Moulton College, staff have used Peerscroller’s bite-sized, student-friendly format to help introduce challenging topics like county lines, knife crime, wellbeing and safeguarding. Short-form content can help break down barriers and make important conversations feel more approachable for learners.
Let student interests help shape conversations
“The data showing which videos students are watching is brilliant, it helps us shape our curriculum according to their needs.”
Trent College highlighted the importance of using Peerscroller analytics and viewing trends to understand what students are engaging with most. Tracking the topics learners are searching for can help schools adapt their PSHE provision to real student needs.
