A truly successful school website doesn’t just look good – it works perfectly for everyone. From office staff updating term dates to parents checking lunch menus, your website should be easy to use, accessible to all, and built to last.

That’s exactly what we deliver at Greenhouse School Websites, with our team of experienced designers and project managers who are on hand to guide you through every step. We also ensure your new website is launched in just a few short weeks so that you can display yourself proudly online as quickly as possible!

1. Accessible and inclusive design for every visitor

Every parent, pupil, and staff member should be able to use your school website comfortably. That’s why we follow the latest WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards, ensuring that our school website designs are inclusive for users with visual, hearing, or mobility challenges. Accessible websites are not only ethical – they’re also essential for compliance with public sector regulations and Ofsted expectations. We offer guidance and advice on how to keep these standards in mind when adding content to the site on your side too. 

2. Simple to update – even on the busiest school day

We know schools are busy places. That’s why every Greenhouse school website comes with an easy-to-use CMS for schools, allowing staff to quickly upload newsletters, photos, and announcements without technical expertise. We also have page reminders so you’ll never forget to update an important page. And we have the capacity for different staff to have admin access to certain pages so that the workload can be shared across the school and teachers can have ownership on pages relevant to their classes or subject lead areas. 

Our platform is built for real schools – intuitive, reliable, and supported by our friendly UK-based team. We frequently hear about how wonderful our team are through feedback from schools and, while it is always nice to hear, we are never surprised as they are just as easy to work with for us, too!

3. Helping you to stay Ofsted-compliant

Our CMS has a built in compliance package with all the latest requirements for your website from Ofsted and the DfE standards and regulations. We also offer early Ofsted warnings when we see activity which is likely to mean your visit is imminent. 

Our Policy Compliance Manager also helps you to stay up-to-date with policies internally by alerting relevant staff members when policies are due for renewal, and supporting the team across updates with shared ownership of the policy update timeline. Through one system you can send policies to relevant staff to update, send them on to SLT and/or governors for checking, and then publish them to your website directly so that nothing is missed. 

4. Ongoing support from our friendly and knowledgeable team

We’re more than a web design agency – we’re your long-term website dream team! Our support team is always happy to help you with advice, guidance and any questions to help you to maintain your website in great working order for your visitors throughout the life of your school website. 

And when you feel that you need a full redesign or a completely new bespoke school website, Greenhouse is here to help your online presence grow alongside your school.

5. A website that works for your whole school community

When your website is functional, accessible, and easy to manage, your whole school benefits – staff save time, parents stay informed, and pupils feel proud.

At Greenhouse School Websites, we combine creativity, technical expertise, and education-sector experience to deliver responsive, easy-to-update, Ofsted-compliant school websites that make a real difference.
