SOCIAL MEDIA
SOCIAL MEDIA
We (@RiscaCCS) were the first school in Wales-perhaps even the UK- to start using Twitter as a means of communicating regularly with our school community back in 2009, and we also use Facebook as a linked account, as well as YouTube, Vimeo and Flickr, those these last two much less. Some schools still avoid social networking sites and some parents may have concerns. Click here to read a short policy statement we prepared for pupils and see above for our FAQ sheet. Read about our Twitter story here.
We are often consulted on the use of social media in education and are always happy to offer advice to parents and to other schools
