Want to put a smile on the face of every visitor to your school website? Our seasonal effects give you 26 different ways to do just that. (Even more ways if you combine them!)

Seasonal effects add a little “ooooh” and “ahhhh” factor every time someone clicks that link. Themed icons float down the screen to match your school’s current mood or a calendar-linked event. You can add more than one effect at a time (I love mixing the Christmas and winter ones so that little Santas, colourful presents, AND falling snow fill the screen!)

One of the great features of our seasonal effects is that from your admin login you can pre-set your effects for the whole year – adding a start and end date for each one you want to use – and then sit back and let the magic happen without having to remember to change them all the time! A fantastic easy way to delight your parents and community without having to lift a finger to make those exciting changes (though we are fine with you taking full credit with them if you like!)

Have a look through all the options so that you can pick the ones which will add that little something special to your website now and over the next 12 months!

Autumn Leaves – A perfect way to celebrate the change of season and the time to put the heating and a jumper on while snuggled up with a bowl of soup. Falling autumnal leaves will remind everyone that it is time to grab their comfiest blanket and relax on the sofa!

British – British flags can drift down the screen for any special occasions such as International Sports fixtures or highlighting work on British Values for a special assembly or marking historic occasions. 

Chinese Lanterns – A perfect way to celebrate Chinese New Year or any other relevant celebrations within your community. 

Christmas – A time for Santas and presents to delight your website visitors and remind them to be on the nice list rather than the naughty list. 

Easter – Eggs and bunnies take centre stage as we think about upcoming special holidays and maybe some chocolate treats!

Eid Festivals – A perfect way to mark the Eid celebrations within your community/ 

English – St George flags can show your support for football matches, St George’s Day and any other English-themed celebration times. 

Fireworks – Not just for November – these animated fireworks can mark celebrations within your community for Diwali, Guy Fawkes Day and achievements within school. 

Football – Footballs fill the screen to show support for major tournaments or your own sporting fixtures – you can also combine these with the relevant country flags to show your support for a specific team. 

Halloween – Pumpkins and cauldrons join flying on witch’s brooms to add some pizzazz to spooky season 

Hinduism Festivals – Special symbolism celebrates your Hindu community when it is time for important festivals. 

Irish – The ideal accompaniment to St Patrick’s Day and any time you want to celebrate Ireland in International sports and events. 

Jewish Festivals – From celebrating Hanukkah through to more sombre commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day, these symbols highlight the Jewish members of our communities. 

Mourning – Sadly, this one is often used to mark the loss of someone special within a school community. It can show that a school is mourning which also passes a message to potential visitors not in the know. It can also be used to mourn key figures relevant to your school’s history. 

Olympics – Can be used for summer or winter Olympics to show that your school is on board with keeping up with coverage and adding to your own sports day!

Poppies – Perfect for Remembrance Day in November. We will not forget them. 

Rainbows – From pride month through to celebrating diversity throughout the year – as well as simply adding a pop of colour and shine to make people smile.

Scottish – Flags to mark St Andrew’s Day or to show support for Scotland in any sporting events. (Or an all-year round addition for Scottish schools, perhaps!)

Sikh Festivals – Celebrate along with your Sikh community and spread the joy of occasion!

Sports Day – Get your medals at the ready to support your students as they prepare for a mammoth sports day and those winning racers!

Stars – Special at any time of year these stars can highlight achievements within and around your school.

Summer – Sunshine, sandcastles, and ice creams remind us all that when the sun is out it is time to play and enjoy our surroundings – or dream of getting to the beach at the end of term!

Tennis – Whether it is for Wimbledon or your own hotly-contested tennis tournaments these tennis-themed icons can brighten up your website and combine nicely with the Summer icons for a doubly summery celebration!

Valentines – Who doesn’t love love?! Time to break out the hearts and wear them on your (website) sleeve!

Welsh – Dewch ymlaen Cymru! Time to celebrate all things Welsh when cheering on the national teams or marking St David’s Day. 

And finally….

Winter snow – Falling snow just makes us all feel ready to curl up with a good book under the duvet and see if there are any mince pies in the house…and it is a great way to show your love of this winter wonderland season. 

Whether you use the seasonal effects to mark historical days, world events, or simply to celebrate within your school community, there are plenty to choose from and we love to see them across your nursery, school and college websites! Get in touch if you need help getting started.
