Free trial to schools social network

An exciting new service to link schools across the UK so that the pupils can see how their peers around the UK live day to day.  

Very useful helping the schools to fulfil OFSTED’s requirements for British Values and to implement the Prevent strategy.

The Big Classroom is a social network solely for schools so it is completely safe and secure. Each school has its own account to which it can upload pictures, videos and blogs about the exciting and interesting projects they undertake. Big Classroom will then regularly link them with "friend schools" which have been chosen strategically to be contrasting in terms of culture, faith, ethnicity or location.

At regular intervals classes sit down and look at their breaking news (these are updates from their friend schools) to see what is happening in schools around the UK. The pupils can then discuss what they see and send messages questioning the things that interest them and take part in joint projects together. Over time they'll get to know the other pupils and have a much greater understanding of other cultures and communities.

This is the service in a nutshell, please feel free to google 'The Big Classroom' for more details. 

We have agreed with your local authority to give all the schools a free 2-month trial of our service.
