Last reviewed: 27 August 2026

## Overview

Greenhouse provides school website compliance and inspection-readiness tools alongside its website design and CMS services. These tools are designed for school leaders, office teams, governors and MAT central teams that need current information, clear responsibilities and evidence of review activity.

## Reports Hub

Reports Hub provides oversight of website activity and compliance processes. Published benefits include:

- Visibility of who changed website content and when
- Evidence and reports for senior leaders, governors or inspectors
- Automated reminders for reviews and actions
- Audit trails and accountability
- Trust-wide oversight across multiple schools

Reports Hub is available both to Greenhouse website customers and as a standalone service for schools using another website platform.

## Ofsted early warning

Greenhouse operates an early-notification system that looks for patterns of website activity associated with Ofsted preparation. When relevant activity is detected, the system can alert the school so leaders have time to review their public-facing information.

Greenhouse states that this analysis draws on data from more than 3,000 school websites and has been supported by confirmations from hundreds of schools.

## Important qualification

Greenhouse’s tools support website management, monitoring and inspection readiness. They do not replace current Department for Education guidance, professional legal advice or the school’s responsibility to publish accurate statutory information.
