Countering online conspiracies: WA featured on BBC Radio 4

This week our staff and Sixth Formers were featured on the World at One on BBC Radio 4!

We recently had the privilege of welcoming the BBC to WA, to hear more about our work in countering online conspiracies, following a Public First report on this topic.

We’re delighted to share a link to the radio programme for those who are interested in hearing more. You can find the feature at 31 minutes and 43 seconds into the edition aired on Monday 17th March.

Thank you to Ms Carrier, Ms Shakya, Ms Khanom and Ms Jennings for accommodating the journalists and for their efforts to showcase the work WA is doing to develop students’ skills in identifying and countering conspiracies. This is one example of a broader effort across all of our curriculum areas to promote the development of critical thinking skills, from Year 7 all the way through to Year 13.
