More youngsters at Ab Kettleby Community Primary School, in Melton Mowbray, have joined new social networking website http://www.schooltogethernow.com/ than any other school in the whole of the UK.
The website, dubbed “Facebook for Five Year Olds” by the media, offers primary school age children the opportunity to post photos, play games and chat with their friends outside of school hours.
It was founded by Surrey based mum of three Esther Guy following a request from her seven year old daughter Holly.
Perhaps unsurprisingly Surrey based schools feature highly on the site’s league table of users.
But after Holly and her mum were featured in the press pupils from all over the UK began joining the website.
A Lancashire primary - Burnley Ightenhill is second on the list and schools in St Albans, Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, and Wiltshire also feature in the top ten.
Seven year old Holly Guy said: “It’s brilliant that so many other boys and girls are joining our website. It’s about time we had something for our age group.”
The site’s top ten in full:
1. Ab Kettleby Community Primary School, Melton Mowbray.
2. Burnley Ightenhill Primary School, Burnley.
3. Danetree Junior School, Epsom.
4. Downsend School - Epsom Lodge, Epsom.
