Which members of staff have access to your Twitter/ social media?

[ObscurePoetry]

We're trying to engage parents more and have set up a school Twitter etc to showcase learning.

Currently, the head and deputy head have access, as does the (non-promoted) teacher who is responsible for ICT.

This sounds so bloody juvenile, but she only posts her and her friends' class' photos. I asked her at the beginning of this week if she'd mind tweeting a set of photos from my class as we've finished quite a long project, she said yes. I reminded her on Wednesday and reminded her this morning, they're still not posted. This is the third time this has happened.

The deputy and head are ridiculously busy so the chances of being able to catch them to send the photos (we use Airdrop) are slim to none. I know the ICT lead is busy too but a) she's the ICT lead and b) other classes have loads of pictures posted and mine have none.

At my DC’s primary school there’s a different account for each class and the class teacher is in charge of it. It means as a parent we only see relevant photos. There’s also a general school twitter account for whole school events.

Email her and ask her to do it CC in the deputy.

I initially suggested this, but HT preferred the whole school one as she felt that some classes might end up posting more than others.

I'm stupidly annoyed over this, feel like a fourteen year old in a strop. I'm going to wait until Monday morning and ask her again- it is Friday night.

As a parent I don’t want my twitter to be suddenly flooded with irrelevant photos from other classes once whoever’s in charge of the account has a minute to upload a job lot.

My Head does all the tweeting.

I don’t think it is a good idea to have individual teachers become the face of the school, and to face all the responsibility for school policy, marketing, GDPR, etc.

At secondary 2 ICT teachers and one of the admin staff. All stuff goes up within 24 hours regardless of whose it is.

The 6th form Instagram is done by the head of 6th form and a small, trusted group of students on the committee.
