School 2025 Website Design
In 2025, a school website is no longer just a digital noticeboard — it’s the first impression many parents, students, and inspectors will have of your institution. Whether you’re a primary school in Peterlee or a secondary academy in the wider North East, your website plays a vital role in building trust, enhancing communication, and complying with government requirements.
At InfaCloud, we work with schools to design websites that are easy to manage, accessible on all devices, and tailored to your specific needs. A professional school website allows you to clearly display term dates, curriculum details, safeguarding policies, event updates, and more — all in one place.
Your website can also act as a portal for learning, offering downloadable homework resources, teacher contact details, and even parent logins. With more families searching for schools online, having a well-designed site helps you stand out and present your ethos in a clear, confident way.
We help schools throughout the North East develop engaging websites that meet Ofsted expectations and serve as a reliable hub for the whole school community. Visit our web design services page to explore more.
Key Features Every School Website Should Include
Designing a school website goes far beyond choosing colours and fonts. Every page needs to serve a purpose and comply with government guidelines. At InfaCloud, we ensure your school site is both functional and inspiring.
Essential features include a clear navigation menu, accessible contact information, and a prominent display of your school’s values and mission. We also make sure key compliance elements are included, such as your SEND policy, privacy statement, pupil premium details, and admissions information.
For parents, we recommend including newsletters, photo galleries, school meal menus, and downloadable permission forms. These features reduce admin work and ensure important information is always easy to access.
Teachers can benefit from integrated staff login areas, resource-sharing tools, and pages for their year groups or subjects. These not only support learning but also showcase your school’s commitment to communication and transparency.
We design mobile-friendly websites that are easy for non-technical staff to update using platforms like WordPress or Webflow.
How a Good School Website Improves Communication
One of the biggest challenges for schools today is effective communication with parents and carers. Letters can get lost, emails missed, and social media doesn’t always reach everyone. A well-organised school website is a reliable solution.
By placing newsletters, term dates, event announcements, and emergency updates on your website, you ensure every family has access to the latest information. We can also integrate calendar features and noticeboards to make announcements visible on the homepage.
Many schools also benefit from a parent-friendly FAQ section and a downloadable prospectus. These small additions save staff time while helping parents feel informed and connected.
When you choose InfaCloud, we build websites designed around your communication needs. Whether you’re a small rural school or a large city academy, we’ll ensure your site speaks clearly to the entire community.
