We are trialling the use of WhatsApp with our Sixth Form groups. The underlying purpose of WhatsApp is to facilitate communication, and at its most basic level, education is nothing but communication. WhatsApp can provide a channel through which we can achieve faster and more seamless communication with students. It can also increase the level of communication between students and create another venue for learning, help and feedback.
Please note that this WhatsApp group is for educational use only and normal class rules apply!

We potentially intend to use Whatsapp for some of the following Education Strategies:
- Use the Group Chats feature to create learning and study groups
- Create audio lessons that can be sent directly to students.
- Stay in contact with students outside the classroom
- Send videos to students.
- Send graphics such as pictures or charts directly to students
