Global Visitors to the School Blogs

With my focus being on IT currently, as a governor, it is fantastic to see all of the staff and pupils putting so much effort into their blogging. It is clear that there really is a lot going on at Great Gaddesden School. Some of the posts written have been absolutely amazing and it's great for parents to be able to see what is going on in their child's class. We have had some great comments from parents about how much they enjoy reading the posts that are being produced.

As well as people associated with the school reading the posts, the Great Gaddesden School Blogs have had some more global visitors too!



Nursery and Reception have had over 1000 page views on their blog. Their audience mainly comes from the UK, USA and Germany. They have even had visits from Serbia, Russia and Finland!

Over 700 people have visited the Year One and Two blog. Their visitors come from the UK, USA, and Germany. They have also had visits from Serbia, Australia and China!

Over 600 people have had a look at what Year Three and Four are doing in class. Their visitors come from the UK, USA, Germany, and Ireland. Their visitors have also landed on the blog from China, Spain, Finland and Russia!

Over 800 people have visited Year Five and Six's blog. They had a google search hit when someone asked their search engine "how to decorate a year 5 classroom" and found the post Year Five and Six wrote. Adding "labels" or "tags" helps to make a post searchable by a search engine.

Their visitors come from United Kingdom, USA, and Germany. There have even been some visits from South Korea, Spain, Finland, Malaysia and Russia!

Over 800 people have visited Miss Worsley's Headteacher blog. They come from the UK, USA, and Germany too. She has also had visitors from India, Spain, China and Finland!

What a global school Great Gaddesden is becoming!

It just goes to show, when you write your post, you never know who will end up seeing it! It could be viewed by people half way around the world - perhaps by other pupils from schools in different countries!

I wonder if the pupils can find the countries that have visited their class blogs on a map or a globe, or even on google earth!! I also wonder if they can find a school blog from another country! Feel free to add it to the comments on my post below if you do!
