Continuously coming up with new content for your school’s social media channels can often feel like an arduous task. But there are a wealth of ways that you can engage on your channels with video content. From a glimpse inside each of your departments through to capturing the Head Teacher’s future vision on film, video is a fantastic way of giving a more in depth insight into your school.
