Twitter is used by many primary schools for keeping parents up to date with school events. Our grandson was out with his class yesterday for their final outing in their last year in primary and we were able to see photos of them throughout the day. More typical is the school's use of Twitter for fund raising for both the school and local charities. However, we noted that a primary school elsewhere in the UK states "The school Twitter account will be ran from school devises by a senior leader".

Its very good for finding people with common interests - in my case Norwich City fans and punk music! You can quickly share comments with each other while watching a match or tell each other if you have found info on new gigs etc.
