Planning a school website

Before design begins, agree on who the website is for and what each audience needs to find quickly:

• Prospective parents look for admissions requirements, fees information, location and contacts.
• Current parents and students need calendars, announcements and links to school portals.
• The wider community wants to see achievements, events and the school's values.

Keeping content up to date matters as much as the design, so choose a system that staff can update without technical help.

Frequently asked questions

Can a school website connect to a school management system?

Yes. Many schools link their website to portals for results, fee statements and communication, so parents can access everything from one place.

What makes a school website trustworthy?

Accurate contact details, current information, real photos of the school and a secure (HTTPS) connection all help parents trust what they see.
