Heywood Preparatory School

October 2011

Heywood Prep in Wiltshire wanted to rejuvenate their website to attract more children but also to keep current parents more informed. We created a clean design with a large area to make the most of their photos. The combination of the welcome, ISI quote and school ethos immediately creates a strong impression of the schools strengths for new visitors. A tabbed news & diary panel which automatically show latest items keeps current parents up to date. And not forgetting the iPhone App which puts school news, diary dates and photo galleries right into parents pockets.

Portland Place School

September 2011

A new head was joining Portland Place School and one of his priorities was to create a website and supporting marketing materials which really projected the image of a caring, friendly school to both prospective pupils and parents. We started with a days photography, followed by 6 portrait videos of students. We spruced up the branding and created a new website with a dedicated marketing micro site. In parallel we were also working on a new prospectus. We achieved all of this in a tight window of just 6 weeks over the summer.

Trinity Laban Music and Dance at Alpha Plus

July 2011

As a new joint venture between the Alpha Plus Group and Trinity Laban to provide weekend music lessons, it required a new website to provide information and marketing support. We enjoyed the challenge of blending the 2 distinct identities together and were able to roll out the joint branding onto flyers, a booklet and magasine adverts.

Halstead School

April 2011

Halstead School wanted a more modern look to their website to attract new pupils. A large gallery image area in the header displays their excellent facilities. Quick links guide visitors smoothly to popular pages such as Admissions or Prospectus. An unusual feature of this website is the ability for parents to sign up for access to the parents area, allowing individual parent log ins of the parents choice.

St Cedd's School

The Falcons Pre-Preparatory School for Boys

London, January 2011

The Falcons is a lively, friendly and popular day school in Chiswick which prides itself on catering for the needs of the individual pupil. Alongside the re-design of the pre-prep school website, we also undertook the re-design of Falcons Girls and the Preparatory School. They all have fantastic photography and we were more than happy to help them make the most of it with a large animated header. We are now working on their new prospectus.

Continuing the modern approach, QHS are now using Twitter to engage with their parents, An integrated Twitter feed on their home page enables the head to quickly update the school website from his mobile phone.

The Wetherby Schools

The prestigious Wetherby Schools have a reputation for excellence which attracts many high-profile parents.

Having recently expanded their intake, we undertook a re-branding exercise to differentiate the Preparatory School from the Pre-Preparatory. This encompassed tweaking the school's logos and positioning statements, arranging new photography, building new websites for the Prep, Pre-Prep, and the Group, setting up Twitter feeds for the Headteachers and designing new prospectuses for the schools.

Davenport Lodge Nursery

Following the success of the website design for Davenport Lodge School, we were asked to build a website for their Nursery.

The website follows the branding of the main school, but has a more fun feel to it, which we also enjoyed designing!

Pembridge Hall School

London, February 2010

Pembridge Hall Preparatory School for Girls is a well known school for girls aged 4 to 11, in Notting Hill, London. When Barry Evans joined as Principal in January 2010, one of his first objectives was to update the school website. Mr Evans wanted the website to reflect the reputation of the school, and as such wanted a clean and modern, yet understated design. We quickly came up with a design to fit the bill, and were able to implement the new design in a very short time frame.

Davenport Lodge School

Coventry, December 2009

Davenport Lodge is a successful school for girls and boys aged 3 to 8. It also has a nursery which cares for children as young as a few weeks old.

Our re-design allows the photos to take centre stage, whilst we chose the sky blue background to identify the school with Coventry City FC, also known as the Sky Blues.

With over 200 pages, videos, Twitter feed, the Eltham College website is feature-rich. Fortunately, our design allows the content to take centre stage, whilst still reflecting the branding of this school founded in 1842.
