SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Social Media has become important in all of our lives and with it has come responsibility. We are all aware that its use can be great and beneficial but that mis-use can cause upset and often much unhappiness.
MHTS has developed the use of Social Media embracing Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and we hope you will join in, benefit from the information imparted and use the platforms in a positive way.
Inevitably there must be rules particularly as we are a School and the majority of our pupils are under the age of 16. We take the care of our pupils very seriously, not just in the physical application of our teaching methods but with regards to their mental health and development.
Please read the following carefully and contact the Office should you have any questions :-
Please use the platforms positively and join with us to make Social Media at MHTS a happy and exciting experience
