Happy Friday! Did anyone else age about seven years between Monday morning and now? 😅 This week felt like an entire school term rolled into five days!

We've earned this weekend, I'm sure you have too! Go forth and enjoy your well-deserved break.

What's the first thing you're doing to celebrate the end of this marathon week?

You survived the return to school, meeting your new groups, and a pritt-stick-related incident or two. But now, the coffee supplies are dwindling, and the early-term energy is gone. How do you keep the school’s social media momentum going without losing your precious sanity?

We've got you! Forget the desperate measures (unless you enjoy interpretive dance). We’ve broken down four tried-and-tested social media ideas to keep engagement high, even if you're typing one-handed while dodging lost whiteboard markers:

1️⃣ Keep the Conversation Going: Quick updates work wonders. Ask a teacher what happened today—you might get a story, a laugh, and possibly a mention of the infamous mystery lunch item (it’s always custard) 🍮

2️⃣ Celebrate Small Wins: Did Year 6 show great sportsmanship? Did Reception keep ALL their shoes? Post it! We love to see it

3️⃣ Invite Interaction: Polls, quizzes, and questions - make parents feel involved, or at least help them guess what the “mystery lunch” was

4️⃣ Spotlight Staff & Students: Time for a "Meet the Team" series! Remind everyone that Mr. Thompson is actually the Head of Science, not the PE teacher (despite what he wears)

Stop feeling overwhelmed and start communicating confidently. Click through to read the full, sanity-saving guide!

Andy has written a blog to help parents and schools understand why this moment matters.
