Succession Support
People come and go in schools and that's when things can get interesting. We act as a golden thread of continuity to make sure that when leadership or teachers move on that the ball isn't dropped.
We provide free refresher training to new team members so that good practice is maintained and your school stays focused.

The complete school social media parental engagement support service
This BBC Breakfast interview (2014) featured Blippit founder John Bidder being interviewed about a story involving a primary school, social media and parental communication. We have an archive of videos that you may find helpful too from 2016. We have been working directly with what we call 'Social Schools' for 10 years now and in that time have gained invaluable experience that we pass on to every school that joins us along the way.
We provide peace of mind, monitoring, training, year-round Support, inspiration & good practice.
You’re never alone with Blippit Social. We support your school proactively, in the background and on demand when you’re busy doing the day job.
Head Teachers say that reaching parents and engaging with them is a real challenge and top priority. It’s our experience that schools have to be where the parents are in order to reach them. Blippit Social Reports are sent to you each month covering all social school activity every month in an easy to follow data-rich graphical report. It’s the smart way to optimise your social efforts as a school.
"Our [Ofsted] report actually refers directly to parent's use of the school's Facebook (although they say internet) page to keep up to date with immediate news about their children's learning. The team saw the page in action during the inspection and were very impressed with it's use and impact, so thanks for contributing to our positive outcome!" Head Teacher, Nicky Patrick, formerly Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School, Essex.

The Blippit methodology centres on breaking down barriers to engagement. Steeped exclusively in 20+ years of experience education, Blippit Social was our original service that emerged from the need for schools to go where the parents are. Authenticity, engagement and accessibility for parents has proved a strong formula over the years for schools.
