Frequently asked questions
Require a little more information? We get your questions answered.
What should a school website include?
A school website should be secure, scalable and robust, provide excellent value for money and be easy to update.
Your school website is your window to the world, so it should include lots of information relevant to both prospective and current parents. And not forgetting all the statutory guidance as stated by the Department for Education.
Ideally it should also be user-friendly, easy to navigate and include the option for you to freely add content (text & images), news articles, links, calendar events, galleries and social media feeds as required through your Content Management System.
