WHY YOUR WEBSITE MATTERS

Your school website is your most important communication with every parent, past and present.

For parents, the school website is the first and most trusted source of information about school life, policies, term dates and news. For prospective families, it is often the single biggest factor in deciding whether to request a place. A dated, hard-to-navigate website doesn't just look unprofessional; it creates a first impression that is very difficult to reverse.


We have built websites for primary schools, secondary schools and colleges across the UK since 2006. We understand the specific combination of statutory compliance, clear parent communication and welcoming design that a school website needs to get right. We build sites that work for everyone in your community: parents, pupils, staff and prospective families who haven't visited yet.


Christ the King Catholic Primary School in Thornbury came to us for a complete website redesign. The result was a site that the whole school community was proud of from day one, drawing immediate positive feedback from parents, governors and visitors on its clarity, look and ease of use across all devices.

What we understand about your sector

  • Parents are the primary audience for most school websites; they need clear information about admissions, terms, policies and school life before any other consideration
  • A school website must comply with DfE statutory requirements; missing or incomplete statutory pages can flag as a concern at Ofsted inspection
  • Parent communication features including term dates, newsletters and news updates keep families informed and reduce inbound calls to the school office
  • Prospective parent visits begin online; a well-presented website communicates your school's ethos and quality of education before any open day
  • Staff areas and resource pages make everyday administration simpler for teachers and support staff, saving time across the whole team
  • Accessibility is a legal requirement; every school website must meet WCAG standards to serve parents, pupils and carers of all abilities equally


All websites are fully hosted, maintained and supported by our UK team. No technical knowledge required to run and update your site.

WHAT WE BUILD

Everything your school or college website needs

DfE statutory compliance pages

A comprehensive set of pages covering every item on the DfE statutory website information requirement, built to a clear, accessible standard and easy to maintain. Meeting statutory requirements is non-negotiable; we build the structure so you never have to worry about it.

Term dates, newsletters and news feed

An easy-to-update news and events section, term date calendar and newsletter archive, giving parents the information they check most often and reducing the volume of enquiries to the school office. Managed entirely from your own CMS with no web agency involvement required.

Admissions information and open day pages

Clear, welcoming admissions pages covering entry criteria, the application process, catchment information and how to arrange a visit, converting prospective family interest into applications with a transparent and reassuring online experience.

Local SEO for school searches

Built to appear in local searches from families researching schools in your area, including 'primary school [location]', 'secondary school near me' and specialist provision searches. Ranking well locally ensures your school is always part of the comparison.

Ethos, values and school life showcase

Dedicated pages for your curriculum, extra-curricular activities, clubs, sports, arts and the character of your school community, helping prospective families understand what makes your school the right choice before they ever visit.

Accessibility and WCAG compliance

Every school website we build meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards as a minimum, ensuring parents and carers of all abilities can access the information they need. Accessibility compliance is a legal duty and a mark of a school that takes inclusion seriously.

CASE STUDY

Christ the King Catholic Primary School

We delivered a site that received immediate and sustained positive feedback from parents, staff and governors alike.

"New look website looks fantastic and we have had lots of very positive comments about its clarity, looks and ease of access on all platforms."
