Web Design for Schools & Education

School websites serve multiple audiences — parents, students, staff, Ofsted inspectors, and the local community. Every group needs different information, and your website must deliver it clearly, accessibly, and in compliance with Department for Education requirements.

At Websposure, we build school and education websites that meet compliance requirements, work for every user, and represent your school's identity. We serve schools across Harrow, Watford, Ealing and London.

What School Websites Must Include

• DfE statutory information — admissions, curriculum, SEND policy, pupil premium, governance, Ofsted reports. All mandatory content properly structured and easy to find.
• Accessibility compliance — WCAG 2.1 AA minimum. Public sector websites have a legal obligation to be accessible. We build and test for screen readers, keyboard navigation, and cognitive accessibility.
• Parent communication — news, events calendar, newsletters, parent portal links. Parents are your primary audience and they are almost always on mobile.
• Admissions information — clear, prominent, with downloadable forms or links to your local authority application system.
• Staff and governor pages — profiles, contact details, committee structures. Required by DfE and important for transparency.
• Mobile-first design — parents check school websites on their phones during the school run, at work, and in the evening. Your site must be flawless on mobile.

Our web design and SEO services help schools appear when parents search "primary school near Harrow" or "secondary school Watford" — critical during admissions season.
