Notices pinned to a board get missed, and messages in group chats get buried. Announcements on 25schools go to exactly the people they are meant for, and appear where learners and staff already are.
What you can do
- Choose who sees it: everyone, teachers only, learners only, or one grade.
- Mark it urgent so it is pinned to the top.
- Set an expiry date, so old notices disappear on their own.
- Remove your own posts at any time.
How it works
- Open announcements and choose New.
- Write a short title and your message.
- Pick the audience, and the grade if it is for one grade.
- Tick urgent or set an expiry if you need to, then post.
Good uses
- Test dates and changes to the timetable.
- Reminders about homework or SBA tasks due this week.
- Staff meeting notices, sent to teachers only.
- Revision sessions for one grade before exams.
Why it helps
Targeted messages get read, because people only see what concerns them. The right message reaches the right grade without a separate WhatsApp group for each class, and learners find it in the 25schools app next to their tests.
Announcements work with your school on 25schools. Head teachers can manage the school from the same place, and parents get their own notifications. Learners see them alongside their school tests.
Post an announcement
Post to everyone, staff, learners or one grade.
