SCHOOL WEBSITE SOLUTIONS
School Website Development
Your school website is often the first place parents, carers, prospective pupils and staff go to learn about your school.
A clear, welcoming and easy-to-use website builds trust, strengthens your school’s reputation and keeps your community informed.
Altus Web Solutions designs and builds professional, high-performing websites for UK primary and secondary schools, academies and multi-academy trusts (MATs). Every site we create is built around your school’s identity, values and day-to-day needs.
Benefits for your school
Ofsted-friendly content structure
we organise your website so key information is easy to find, supporting a smooth experience during Ofsted inspections and helping your school present itself at its best.
Statutory content made easy to update
dedicated sections for policies, admissions, curriculum, pupil premium, SEND information and other required content, with simple templates your team can update in minutes.
Fast, secure and mobile-friendly
your website will load quickly, stay protected with best-practice security, and look great on phones, tablets and desktops.
Easy for school staff to update
a simple, intuitive content management system means office staff and teachers can publish news, update pages and upload documents without technical skills.
Accessible and inclusive
we follow accessibility best practice so your website works for all users, including those using assistive technologies.
What is school website development?
School website development is the process of designing, building and maintaining a website specifically for a school. Unlike a generic business website, a school website must serve many audiences at once: current parents, prospective families, pupils, staff, governors and the wider community.
We handle everything from planning and design to development, content migration and launch. The result is a polished website that reflects your school’s ethos, is simple for staff to manage, and gives parents the information they need quickly.
Websites for UK primary and secondary schools, academies and MATs
We work with schools across the UK, including primary schools, secondary schools, academies, free schools and multi-academy trusts. Whether you need a single school website or a consistent family of websites across a trust, we build flexible solutions that scale with you.
For MATs, we can create a central trust website alongside individual school sites that share branding, templates and governance information while giving each school its own identity.
Ofsted-friendly content structure
During an Ofsted inspection, inspectors need to find information about your school quickly. We structure your website with clear navigation, logical page hierarchies and prominent links to the information that matters most, such as curriculum, safeguarding, behaviour and performance data.
A well-organised website also improves the experience for parents and prospective families, making it easier for them to find term dates, admissions information, newsletters and contact details.
Statutory content, made easy to update
UK schools are required to publish a wide range of information on their websites, from admission arrangements and curriculum details to policies, financial information and governance records. Keeping all of this up to date can be a challenge for busy school offices.
We build dedicated, easy-to-manage sections for your statutory content with reusable templates and checklists, so nothing gets missed and updates take minutes rather than hours.
Fast, secure and mobile-friendly
Parents increasingly visit school websites on their phones. Every website we build is fully responsive, so it looks and works beautifully on any device. We optimise for speed so pages load quickly, and we apply security best practice, including SSL, secure logins and regular updates, to keep your site and your visitors’ data safe.
Easy for school staff to update
You shouldn’t need a web developer to post a newsletter or change a term date. Your website comes with a straightforward editing experience and we provide training and friendly ongoing support, so your team feels confident managing the site day to day.
