The Year 11 Prom N June 23rd, the Year 11 Prom O was held at Wherstead Park. Students arrived in a range of imaginative ways; from a vintage removal van to a horse and cart and old-fashioned school buses. The torrential rain, which timed itself for the students’ arrival, did not dampen their spirits. Students enjoyed a three course sit down meal, with entertainment from a fantastic magician, who amazed staff and students alike. After the meal, all the students danced the night away with a fantastic set from a Year 11 band and a DJ, whilst capturing memories in a photo booth and enjoying a vast amount of sweets. A fantastic night to remember. Mrs Stuart

Results of this year’s Farlingaye E-Safety Survey HIS year the survey was completed by nearly 800 students at T Farlingaye. In order to encourage honesty, students were not required to enter their name so answers were completely anonymous. Nearly 200 students in the Sixth Form completed the survey and a summary of their results are also presented here too. Which of the following do you have access to? (Options – PC, Laptop, Smart Phone, Tablet, Webcam, Games Console) Nearly all students have access to the Internet at home in some way. Over 90% of students now have an Internet enabled Smart Phone (this begins with 85% of Year 7s, rising up to 97% of Year 11s). 70% of students use a webcam or phone camera that they are able to use for chat which is a significant increase on previous years. 76% of students have access to a games console with online capabilities (58% of girls and 91% of boys). Which Social Network Sites do you use regularly? Facebook continues to see a drop in popularity on previous years with only 50% of students having an account compared to 62% last year and 75% in 2014. This does include 20% of Year 7 students who are under the age of 13 which is the minimum age required to have a Facebook account. 90% of Year 11 students have a Facebook account although they tend to use other social media apps and sites to communicate with friends. The drop in popularity of Facebook can be put down to the fact that adults are much more likely to use Facebook and young people tend not to want to hang around the same places that their parents are. Instagram continues to increase in popularity (73% up from 65%). Twitter use is unchanged at around 25%. Snapchat continues to be popular with 60% of our students using it, as does Whatsapp with 41% of students regularly using it. Oovoo is increasing in popularity with 26% of students using it, with more Year 7s using it than any other year. 18% of students use Vine. Students in Years 7- 11 tend to use Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp to communicate with their friends and share things. Other popular apps and websites that quite a number of students said they use and visit were Twitch (for sharing and watching video game videos), Music.ly (where they can make and share their own music videos) and Pornhub (which was mentioned by a significant number or boys in Years 9-11). Do you use Skype or other forms of video chat? 70% of students regularly use webcams or mobile/tablet cameras for online chat. This is usually through Skype, Facetime or Oovoo. 10% of students say they have used anonymous video chat sites such as Omegle where they are paired up with a random stranger to talk to in a video chat. These sites are notorious for video being recorded and shared with others. Do you know anyone who has been the victim of cyberbullying? 41% of students know someone who has been bullied online which is up 10% on 2015 and 2014. The figure rises as the students get older, peaking at 45% in Year 11.
17 FORUM 15 July 2016 Have you been the victim of cyberbullying? 35% of students reported that they had experienced some kind of online bullying OR unpleasant comments which is significantly higher than last year where it was 10%. This peaks with 44% of Year 11 students reporting unpleasant comments made to them online. The figure continues to be slightly higher for girls than it is for boys. Only 50% of those students who were the victims of unpleasant comments told an adult. Which of the following have you seen on the Internet? Pornography – 20% of boys and 11% of girls have seen pornography on the Internet. This peaks with nearly 80% of year 11 boys having viewed it. Even in Year 7 12% of boys who responded said they had seen pornography on the Internet. Violent Material – 46% of students at Farlingaye who answered have seen videos of people being killed on the Internet. These are often posted on social media sites. Racist Material – 45% of students have seen racism on the Internet. Pro Anorexia websites – Nearly 20 % of students have seen pro- anorexia websites. Girls are far more likely to access these sites – nearly 40% of Year 11 girls have viewed such material. Pro Self Harm websites – 25% of students have seen pro-self-harm material on the Internet. Again, these websites are far more likely to be viewed by girls. Nearly 40% of Year 11 girls have viewed these sites. Extremist Material – 20% have seen material of an extremist nature. Have you ever seen something on the internet that you found upsetting? 58% of students have been upset by something that they have seen on the Internet. This peaks at over 70% of Year 11 girls having been upset. Have you ever been asked to send pictures or video of a sexual nature to someone? 21% of students at Farlingaye have been asked to send someone else pictures or video of a sexual nature. Girls are far more likely to be asked than boys. 4% of Year 7 girls have been asked and this rises to nearly 50% of Year 11 girls. Do you know anyone who has sent pictures or video of a sexual nature? Over 50% of students know of someone that has sent a picture or video of a sexual nature by text or on the Internet. The figure rises as the students get older with almost 75% of Year 11 students knowing someone who has sent a photo or video like this. Has anyone asked you to do something on a webcam that you didn’t want to do? 9% of students have been asked to do something on webcam they did not want to do (generally of a sexual nature). Girls are far more likely to be asked than boys with 20% of Year 11 girls being asked. Do your parents know about everything you do and look at on the Internet? Over half of students state that their parents do not know everything that they get up to and view on the Internet. This peaks in Year 11 at 80%.
18 15 July 2016 FORUM Do your parents monitor what you do on the Internet or use parental controls? 65% of students say that their parents do not monitor or control what they do on the Internet. The older the student the less likely parents are to monitor or control Internet use. 75% of Year 11s say that there is no monitoring or control. Important Note – Students whose parents do not monitor their internet use are over 3 times more likely to have viewed inappropriate material such as pornography and violence than those whose parents use some kind of controls. Do things on the Internet put pressure on you to look or behave in a certain way? 26% of students reported that they do feel pressured to look or behave a certain way by things they see on the Internet. Girls are far more likely to feel pressurised than boys (36% compared to 16% for boys). 62% of Year 11 girls report feeling these pressures. Do images you see on the Internet affect the way you feel about yourself in a negative way? 25% of students report that images they see online do affect their self- esteem and self-image. Again, this is far more likely to affect girls than boys. The overall figure for girls is 40% and for girls in Year 11 it is 50%. Do you think that you get enough guidance and support from the school about staying safe online? 90% of students feel that the school provides them with enough guidance about staying safe online. Some students suggested ideas such as E-Safety days or specific E-Safety lessons. Other students said that they enjoyed the E-Safety event with the boyband Taken as it was a change to have people other than teachers and parents talking to them about E-Safety. Some older students said they were fed up with being told about E-Safety as they felt they knew it all.
Summary of results from the Sixth Form – 173 Sixth Form students also completed the survey and a summary of some of the key results is presented below:- Facebook is by far the most popular Social Media site for this age group with over 90% of Sixth Formers having a Facebook profile. This is followed by Snapchat (83%) and Instagram (74%). Unpleasant comments and cyber bullying seem to be less of an issue in the Sixth Form with 25% of students saying they have been the victim of such comments compared with over 40% in Years 7-11. 55% of Sixth Form students have seen Pornography on the Internet with 75% of boys reporting that they have viewed it. 80% have seen very violent and racist material and between 40-50% have seen pro-anorexia, pro-self-harm and extremist material. 76% of students in the Sixth Form have been upset by something that they have seen on the Internet (almost 85% of girls have). 35% of students in the Sixth Form have been asked to send a photo or video of a sexual nature and 75% know someone who has sent an

image or video like this. 85% of Sixth Formers report that their parents do not know about everything that they look at online or have any kind of parental controls. Nearly 50% of students say that images on the Internet have a negative effect on the way they feel about themselves or pressured to look a certain way. For girls the figure is nearly 65%.
Issues raised by the survey The Internet and being online continues to be a huge part of young people’s lives. They make no distinction between the online and offline world. They have never known a time without the Internet. Online communication through social media is a key way that young people communicate with each other. Facebook is becoming less popular and instant messaging services such as Snapchat are becoming increasingly popular. Unpleasant comments and cyberbullying are still an issue and only half of students who were victim to such comments reported it to an adult. A large number of boys have viewed pornography online. Whilst this is to be expected from teenage boys, the nature of the pornography being viewed is likely to be quite extreme and may have an effect on their views of sexuality and relationships. Lots of young people are being exposed to what might be classed as inappropriate and damaging material such as pro-self-harm and pro- anorexia material. It could be argued that this may normalise or encourage such behaviours. There is extremist material on the Internet that young people are coming across. The sending of sexually inappropriate images continues to be a fairly common occurrence with teenagers despite the messages about the dangers and legality of it. It is more common with older students where it becomes a normal part of a relationship. There is still a lack of monitoring or control from parents. This is hugely concerning given the kind of material available online and the risks that young people might be exposed to. It is interesting to note that in households where there is little monitoring or use of parental controls students are much, much more likely to access inappropriate material and expose themselves to risks. It is very clear that images and other material on the Internet are having a detrimental effect on the self-esteem of young people, particularly girls.
The full survey write up can be found on the E-Safety page of the school’s website along with lots of other information and guidance on E-Safety. Please feel free to contact me at the school if you wish to discuss any of the results or have any questions regarding E-Safety. I will be running some E-Safety information sessions for parents at some point next term. Mr MacDonald, E-Safety Lead
