Voting is now open for our students' entry in the Kent Online Harms Podcast Competition!

Support Our Students in the Kent Online Harms Podcast Competition

In November, we were pleased to welcome the team from Collaborate Digital into Barton Manor School to deliver a series of online harms assemblies alongside an interactive podcasting workshop for our students.

Speaking about the initiative, Matthew Scott, Kent Police and Crime Commissioner, said: “Collaborative Digital have created a project that really resonates with young people, combining wide-reaching engagement with focused workshop activity that makes a genuine impact.”

As part of the programme, students worked collaboratively to create their own podcasts exploring issues around online safety. We are delighted to share the judging panel’s choice for our School which is entitled Cyberbullying Rap: Barton Manor School

The Kent secondary schools’ competition officially launches this week, on Thursday, with 14 schools taking part. It is a fantastic opportunity to promote positive online messages across school communities, while recognising the creativity and commitment of our students.

How to Cast Your Vote

  • Voting opens at 7am on Thursday 7 May and closes at 5pm on Wednesday 13 May
  • Anyone can vote – students, staff, parents, carers, relatives and friends
  • One vote per person, per day during the voting period
