We provide face-to-face specialist education training for your core Team so people are confident, ready & able to speak with one school voice on all platforms.
Blippit Social Parent Surveys
Surveys are a pain and no one likes doing them. We help take that pain away with fully managed social school surveys.
Delivered directly through your school Facebook Page and other platforms on any topic you need.
You get the results & participant statistics collated in a ready-to-share with SLT or Governors.
Blippit Social Live Monitoring
You're never on your own & always have backup eyes and ears on parental engagement activity. It's peace of mind plain and simple.
Blippit Social Reports Every month in year 1, your school will get a report on all activity across Facebook, Twitter and other platforms as needed to show where, who, when & how you are doing.
You will know the parents who listening, where they are, when they're doing it & start to see your community as a whole rather than through the filter of one or two challenging members.

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, a monthly report on your school engagement & a fully managed social survey service delivered through your Facebook page and/or website as part of the work we do.
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 25 years of experience education, we at Blippit Social emerged from the need to do something new, riskier (back in 2010 it was), authentic, measurably more engaging and accessible for parents.
