At St.Anne’s, we use social media to showcase learning and celebrate achievements whilst widening our lines of communication. The widespread availability and use of social networking applications bring opportunities to understand, engage and communicate with our wider audience in new and exciting ways. It is important that we are able to use these technologies and services effectively, safely and flexibly however, it is also important to balance this with our duties to our school community, partners, our legal responsibilities and reputation. As a school we use Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in a professional manner to enhance learning opportunities, to communicate with our families and those within our local community and to build stronger partnerships with those within the Priory Learning Trust.
