Statutory information, sorted
A clear home for what the Department for Education says schools must publish, from admissions and Ofsted reports to curriculum, SEND, pupil premium and policies, so nothing is hard to find.
Websites
School websites that parents can actually use
Parents want term dates, the latest letter and the lunch menu, usually on a phone at the school gate. Governors and inspectors want your statutory information in the right place. We build school websites that do both, and that the office can update without calling for help.
- Statutory information in one place
- Easy updates for office staff
- Accessible and mobile friendly
- Fixed quote within 48 hours
What's included
What your school website can do
Term dates and calendar
Term dates, INSET days, trips and events in a calendar parents can check on their phone or add to their own.
News and letters
Post news, newsletters and letters home in minutes, organised by class or year group so parents can find what's relevant to them.
Easy for the office to update
Built on WordPress with simple editing and different levels of access, so office staff can post news while senior leaders look after policies.

Links to your school systems
Quick links to ParentPay, Arbor, Bromcom, your school app and the other systems parents use every day, all in one obvious place.
Safe with children's images
Galleries that respect photo consent, with no full names next to pupils' pictures and clear guidance for staff who post updates.
Recruitment and admissions
Vacancy pages, open day bookings and admissions information that help you attract staff and families.
School websites
A school website that works for everyone who uses it
A school website has more audiences than most. Parents check it on the way out of the door. Prospective families judge you on it before they visit. Governors, the local authority and Ofsted look for your published information. Job applicants read it before they apply.
We design school websites around those people, with the most-used information one tap from the home page and the statutory pages organised so they're easy to keep up to date.
Built for busy school offices
Most school websites go out of date because updating them is a chore. We build on WordPress with a simple editor, so posting news, uploading a letter or changing a term date takes minutes. Different staff can have different access, and nothing goes on the website by accident.
We already support schools in Hampshire with IT and communications, including a two-way radio system for a multi-campus school, so we understand how schools work and what matters to them.
How it works
- Planning. We meet with your team to understand who uses the site and what they look for. You'll get a fixed quote, usually within 48 hours.
- Design. We design around your school's identity, values and photos, then share it with you and any governors who want a say.
- Content and statutory pages. We bring across your existing content and set up each statutory page with you.
- Launch and training. We go live, set up redirects from your old site and train your staff.

Questions
Common questions
Do you build websites for academies and multi-academy trusts?
Yes. We build for maintained schools, academies, trusts, nurseries, colleges and training providers. For trusts we can create a shared design with a site for each school, so they look like a family but keep their own news and information.
Will our website include everything we have to publish?
We set up a page for each piece of statutory information schools are required to publish and help you check it against the latest Department for Education guidance. You stay responsible for keeping the documents up to date, and the site makes that easy.
Can office staff update the site without training courses?
Yes. Posting news or a letter is as simple as writing an email. We train your team in person or over a video call and give you short how-to guides to keep.
Is the website accessible?
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, test with keyboard and screen reader checks and provide an accessibility statement. We also make sure the PDFs you upload are as readable as possible, or suggest web pages instead.
Can you move our content from our current provider?
Usually, yes. We'll bring across your pages, policies and news so nothing is lost, and set up redirects so old links still work.
Can you look after the website once it's live?
Yes. Our maintenance plans keep WordPress updated, secure and backed up, with time each month for changes. We also support schools with IT and two-way radio systems.
How much does a school website cost?
It depends on the size of the site and whether it's one school or a trust. Tell us what you need and we'll send a fixed quote, usually within 48 hours, ready for your budget approval.
