Character.AI enables users to create and interact with AI-powered characters that can behave like friends, mentors, fictional characters or romantic partners.

While these tools can feel engaging and emotionally supportive, they also introduce important safeguarding, wellbeing and privacy considerations for children and young people.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in understanding the risks and opening constructive conversations around AI companionship.

The guide explores:
• Inappropriate content and unreliable advice
• Emotional dependency and blurred boundaries
• Privacy concerns linked to personal information
• Warning signs such as secretive or excessive use
• Withdrawal from real-world activities and relationships
• Practical steps around age settings, limits and reporting concerns

With clear, accessible guidance, this resource helps adults support safer, more balanced and informed use of AI character platforms.

Come and experience Artswork’s Listen Up! Film Festival: six remarkable short films created by children on the Isle of Wight, working alongside professional filmmakers Bruce Webb, NOSY Creative Agency and Sam Lapham. Each film is bold, personal and unforgettable, offering a powerful response to one simple question: ‘If adults were listening, what would you tell them?’

Funny, moving and thought-provoking, the films explore what matters most to young people— from having a voice in local politics, including a plea to adults to stop sewage being dumped in our sea, to life in foster care on the Isle of Wight; from feeling unheard in school, to the need for spaces designed with young people in mind. Come along, listen closely, and see the Island through young people’s eyes.

We were delighted to welcome our brand new Year 7 cohort today for their very first day at Medina College, as well as welcoming our Year 11 students back for their final year with us. It has been wonderful to see the school come back to life, and both year groups have had a brilliant day!

We hope our new Year 7 students have enjoyed getting to know their new surroundings, meeting new friends and getting settled into life at Medina.

Years 8, 9 and 10 return tomorrow and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back together for an exciting year ahead!

A reminder of our back to school dates! We can't wait to welcome Years 7 & 11 on Thursday and Years 8-10 on Friday.
