Ofsted inspectors check school websites. DfE regulations require specific information to be published online. We ensure your site meets every statutory requirement — so you’re never caught out.

Legally required accessibility statement complying with PSBAR 2018 regulations.
Local Offer, SEND policy, and annual SEND information report.
For academies: annual accounts, financial benchmarking data, and related party disclosures.
We work around the school year. New sites typically launch in time for September intake or January term — whatever suits your school’s calendar.
We learn about your school, your challenges, your parents, and what your current website is failing to do for you.
A detailed, fixed-price proposal covering every page, feature, and integration — no surprises, no hidden extras.
We design your site, get your approval, then build it on a private staging URL so you can review everything before it goes live.
We audit all statutory pages, accessibility, GDPR, and DfE requirements — and flag anything missing before launch day.
We go live, train your staff on the CMS, and provide handover documentation so your team is fully self-sufficient from day one.
We provide continuous technical maintenance, security updates, and dedicated support to keep your site performing optimally. (Plans Available)
