\"SchoolWelcome back!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here\u2019s a few quick things you might find useful to check on your school website at the start of term:<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a01) Log in<\/h2>\n

When I return from holiday I often look at the log in screen on my PC in a blind panic. \u00a0Just what was the password?
\nSo even if you don\u2019t need to, a good start would be to check you can still remember how to log into your website Content Management System (CMS).<\/p>\n

For schools using Greenhouse: You can click the forgotten password link to receive your password by email. If you need a reminder of how to use the Greenhouse CMS you can view the resources in the \u2018Help\u2019 section of the CMS or contact us<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Welcome back note<\/h2>\n

Why not pen a quick news item to welcome everyone back? Talk about all the things there are to look forward to this term and share any exciting news from the holidays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) Diary dates<\/h2>\n

If you haven\u2019t already it would be useful to add in any key dates for the term so they will appear across the website in your diary date panels if you have them set up. Some parents prefer to have a full list they can download and print so be sure to add a pdf or Word version too.<\/p>\n

For Schools using Greenhouse: Adding dates as diary dates in the Greenhouse CMS will ensure they appear across the website and on you home page in your diary date panel as well as your mobile app<\/a> if you have one.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Statutory school website content<\/h2>\n

Have you added a your swim attainment if you’re a primary school or how about your curriculum information if you’re a secondary school?
\nThe DfE updated their guidance in 2018 for the information schools must publish online.
\nHave a quick scan of the summary in our September 2018 update<\/a>\u00a0detailing what’s changed and double check you\u2019ve got everything covered.<\/p>\n

You can download our checklist from the\u00a0Ofsted checklist<\/a>\u00a0page of our website.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Other<\/h2>\n
Open Days \u2013 make sure details are prominently displayed<\/div>\n
Exam Results \u2013 create a page or news item to highlight exam successes<\/div>\n
Staff\/Governor lists \u2013 are they up to date?<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally<\/h2>\n
