Ideas for your School Website

A good school website is a powerful opportunity to involve, inform and communicate with the whole school community - pupils, parents, staff and the local community. Used strategically, a website can save time and resources, improve communication, integrate systems and, in itself, be used as a learning resource.
And don't forget the professional, successful image you will be presenting to prospective pupils, parents and staff when they visit your new website.

Stuck for ideas? Below are a few ideas of how you might choose to use your website:

Pupil	Parent	Staff
Download revision guides Publish curriculum details and subject options for prospective pupils Publish the school prospectus as a pdf for download Publish timetables Encourage the School Council to publish details of its meetings and activities Have a suggestion box area to gather feedback Publish the student handbook Celebrate success!	Keep parents involved & informed through frequent news updates and photo galleries of recent events Integrate a Twitter feed or the Heads' Blog Add a 'News Flash' to the home page to announce unexpected school closures Reduce paper and publish newsletters & other communications to parents online. Create an archive so they never get lost! Reduce the burden on the school office by creating a parent document library containing standing documents such as school policies and other useful information Publish the school development plan, prospectus or Ofsted reports Publish the school diary and have upcoming events automatically highlighted on the home page Publish details of your extended school facilities with times, availability and booking details	Create areas for each department to showcase their work Publish internal school policies and other useful documents Upload and share lesson plans Update a class page about the activities pupils have been enjoying Save hundreds of £s on recruitment by having a small advert pointing to a web page containing job descriptions and application forms Upload images of pupils work Publish governor information/meeting minutes.
