One the best features of Much Wenlock Primary School’s website is their Mail on Monday section. The downloadable PDF newsletter has an update of activities that have happened within the school, useful diary dates and after-school club information.

Dunsville Primary School near Doncaster chose a bright, colourful theme for their School Jotter website. It means visitors have a fun and engaging introduction to the school.

The colours and the design of the Dunsville website echoes the content of the website: basically, it’s all about the children.

December 14, 2012 | By Webanywhere in Website of the Week | Tagged Bridlington, Burlington, jotter, school, website, week

Great school websites are the ones that really know what their audience wants. In the case of Burlington Infants School, Bridlington,  there are curriculum details and newsletters for parents, links to fun websites for children, and Burlington Infants’ history for those interested in the school.

What we also like about Burlington Infants School’s website is the thought that’s gone into every section: so you have the ‘Our School’ section, which includes their mission statement, the history and comments from parents - a fantastic way to promote themselves. There’s the gallery, which is broken down into albums, like the Autumn 2012 Read More →

Ben Rhydding Primary School’s website has been a favourite of ours for some time - so it’s great to return to it this week and see it’s still being regularly and lovingly updated.

The design of the website strikes you first: a beautifully-created header that sums up the school perfectly, with rolling hills, the mountains familiar to locals (the school being based in up in the hills of the West Yorkshire Pennines), and bright, bold colours.

Going deeper into the website, it’s a trove of information about the school; there’s plenty of information here that parents will love - but also Read More →
