Social Media Guidelines
Working in partnership, school and parent reps devised a ‘Social Media Guidelines’ leaflet to support and guide parents in how to use the class ‘Whats App’ and other social media. We hope you find it useful and if in any doubt about what to post please speak to your parent rep.
Below are links to some useful websites.
