• Finding yourself using up your 280 characters with long links? Use bit.ly to shorten those links and save yourself valuable writing space! For a small fee, you can even customise your bit.ly shortener to fit with your branding. E.g. SchoolByt.es.

• Got a big event coming up? Or had a big event and want to share all of the tweets about it in one place? Twitter Moments are the place to share this. This great tool allows you to curate your own content and share it with your followers.

  3. Open day build-up

  4. A special assembly

  5. School performances
