      How to update your school website to ensure WCAG 2.2 compliance | Juniper Education

      Introduction 

      By October 2024, all schools are being asked to comply with the new WCAG 2.2 standards that apply to them. This updated accessibility standard ensures that UK Government sites, including school websites, can be used by everyone, including individuals with disabilities or specific accessibility needs.  

      The UK government will conduct random school website spot-checks for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance starting October 2024, but schools will have a 12-week grace period to address any issues found.  

      So, what does this mean for your school? 

      We know that for schools, being compliant isn't just about ticking a box. It's about showing commitment to making your website accessible to all visitors, no matter their needs.  

      The new requirements can be overwhelming, so to help schools, the Juniper Websites teams have done the hard work for you and uncovered what these new standards mean for education. Below, we have outlined the necessary steps you need to take and how Juniper can assist you in achieving compliance.

      How to rebrand your MAT: A step-by-step guide | Juniper Education

      Introduction

      As Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) evolve and grow, establishing a strong and cohesive identity through effective branding becomes increasingly important. This not only helps MATs stand out from the crowd but also supports recruitment efforts for teachers, schools, and students alike.  

      Perfecting your branding is one of the most important things you can do as a MAT, and it’s not just Juniper who thinks so.  

      Marcus Shepherd, Education Director from E-ACT, one of the country’s largest MATs, suggested during a recent panel discussion hosted by Juniper that marketing and branding services for MATs could be the most important investment a MAT can make. 

      Ryan Pummell, Head of Websites and Engagement at Juniper, agrees and, in this blog, will guide you through the process of rebranding your MAT. Ryan explains what branding involves and why it matters for MATs and offers practical steps to successfully navigate the rebranding road to success.
