Educational websites need to perform on multiple levels. They must look appealing and clearly communicate core messaging to attract parents and students, all while navigating a complex web of legal requirements and time constraints. Schools are legally responsible for keeping all website information accurate and current, especially in critical areas like admissions policies, academic results, and statutory documents.
The website should feature easy navigation, allowing users to quickly locate important information such as admissions details, academic calendars, and contact information. This simplicity ensures that visitors, whether they are prospective parents, current students, or staff, can find what they need without hassle.
Secure login for students and parents to access grades, results, attendance, timetables, homework, and school announcements.
Online forms and documents for admissions or applications, to make the process quick and easy for you and your pupils.
Display your school events, holidays, and exam schedules, with notifications/reminders for important dates.
Digital catalog for books and downloadable materials to make homework content more accessible and organised.
WordPress is the world’s most popular website platform, powering over 40% of all websites. As a content management system (CMS), it allows users to create and manage websites without any coding.
Content management is crucial for keeping the website relevant and useful. The site should regularly display up-to-date information, including news and upcoming events, with a system that allows school staff to make updates easily without needing technical expertise. It’s also important to provide targeted content, so different user groups, such as students, parents, and staff, can access information tailored to their needs.
However, should you need help, we provide ongoing assistance, proactive advice on potential updates, and swift resolution of any issues that might arise. Our goal is to ensure your website operates seamlessly and continues to meet your needs effectively.
Websites must adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that any personal data collected is handled lawfully, transparently, and for legitimate purposes. A clear privacy policy should detail how personal data is collected, used, and stored, while a cookie policy must inform users about data collection through cookies and obtain their consent.
Websites must be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. This involves features like screen reader compatibility, alt text for images, and accessible interactive elements.
Schools are required to publish specific information on their websites, such as contact details, admission arrangements, OFSTED reports, exam results, performance tables, curriculum details, school policies (including safeguarding and complaints procedures), and financial information (for academies). Safeguarding information must be prominently displayed, and all mandatory content must be easily accessible and understandable to visitors.
Regular updates are necessary to maintain ongoing compliance with legal and OFSTED requirements, ensuring that all new policies or regulations are promptly reflected on the website.
