Your School’s Website: A Partnership with Realsmart and ICT in Schools
In today’s digital world, a school’s website is its shop window, a crucial communication hub, and a key point of contact for parents, pupils, and the wider community. Here at the ICT in Schools team, we understand that maintaining a professional, compliant, and up-to-date website can be a significant challenge for busy school staff.
That’s why we’re proud of our long-standing partnership with Realsmart, a leader in bespoke school website design. Together, we provide a seamless and comprehensive support package that ensures your school’s online presence is a source of pride, not stress.
How We Support Your Realsmart Website
Our role is to be your local, knowledgeable support team, helping you get the most out of your Realsmart platform. We don’t just set up the site; we work with you every step of the way.
1. Strategic Advice and Design Support:
Realsmart is known for its beautiful, bespoke designs. Our team works with you to translate your school’s vision into a stunning website. We provide strategic advice on structure, content, and user experience to ensure your site is not only visually appealing but also easy for your audience to navigate.
2. Ensuring Compliance and Clarity:
Schools have a statutory duty to publish a lot of information on their websites, from Ofsted reports to pupil premium details. Our team provides up-to-date guidance and support with a website compliance checklist, ensuring your Realsmart site meets all of the latest UK government and Ofsted requirements, giving you peace of mind.
3. Bespoke Training and Professional Development:
A website is only as good as its content. We empower your staff by providing hands-on training to build confidence in using the Realsmart content management system. Our sessions are designed to show you how to easily update pages, upload documents, and post news stories, making website management a quick and simple task.
4. Ongoing Technical and Curriculum Support:
Think of us as your first port of call. We are here to troubleshoot any issues, answer your questions, and help you get the most out of your website’s features. Beyond technical help, we also advise on how your Realsmart site can be used as a tool to support the curriculum, from showcasing student work to sharing teaching resources.
