The School Website Compliance Studio

Schools tell us time and again that two main struggles in website compliance are finding time to keep the school website compliant, and understanding the requirements. Schudio offer the most reliable, comprehensive and easy to use range of resources, software and services to support your School, College or Trust.

Review your website directly alongside the latest requirements

View your website right alongside verified requirements, helpfully broken down into clear sections. Check off every requirement one by one for a full and complete review.

Only review against relevant requirements

Work at an Academy? Only working at KS2? Filter the results and audit your site against requirements that are relevant to you to save time and effort.

Carry out full website audits any time during the year

There is no limit on the number of audits you can carry out. What’s more, if Ofsted lurking around the corner you can get straight on it. Carrying out an audit will give you a clear understanding of what is needed urgently.

Group documents and embed on your website

Our unique solution empowers you to create groups of documents that you can ‘drop’ onto your website. They will be displayed in a format that works on any device. You don’t even need a Schudio School Website! What’s more you’ll only need to update a policy once and it will update everywhere around your website.

Get alerted when your policies need reviewing

Keeping your policies current is critical. If you have an up to date policy in the office but not on your website, inspectors will raise this as an issue. If it’s a safeguarding policy, it will be a safeguarding issue. Our unique policy expiry function will alert you when your policy is close to expiring.

Fastest alerts when requirements change

Our team of experts will place you on our priority list for fast receipt of every change released. We’ll interpret the requirements, update the software and let you know best practice.

All this for just £199 inc vat per year

Simple, clear pricing with no hidden costs. For just £199 inc vat per year, your school can take control of your compliance issues and rest assured that you’re in good hands.

What They Say About Us

Susan Fielding

Schudio’s website CMS software is totally geared up for educational settings. They have thought everything through in detail and are constantly evolving the software to keep abreast of changes in education policy. As web manager I have used a number of website CMS software packages and Schudio’s is by far the easiest to navigate, but with all the powerful features to make the website ‘live and breath’.

Craig Pugh

The Schudio team are a great bunch of professionals and are always there to support, should you need it. The CMS is brilliant for schools/multi-academy trusts – It’s simple and very easy to manage, making everything a breeze!

Mollie Warne

Parallel Learning Trust have worked with Schudio on website compliancy and a Trust wide website re-design. I can honestly say that the team provide an outstanding service to their customers and they go above and beyond when it comes to their clients! I just want to say a massive thank you from PLT for adding value to the organisation and we are looking forward to working with you in the future.

Ben Garside

We’re really pleased with our decision to work with Schudio to help redesign our website. We’re very happy with the results and the whole team are friendly, helpful and easy to work with. The CMS is great and will make life so much easier for our staff. The support is also very good. Overall we feel as though we have had great value for money.

I recently attended the Ofsted School Website Requirements training course run by Schudio. It was most informative and helpful, with practical suggestions on how to make website administration manageable. All the Schudio trainers were approachable and extremely helpful. I am hoping to attend more Schudio courses in the near future.

Suzie Brown

Superb training. A lovely environment to learn in, patient trainers who were happy to help with even the smallest queries and questions, easy to follow explanations, repeated explanations as necessary and a great lunch! I would recommend Schudio to anyone wanting a fully functioning tailored website that is easy to manage.

Usually the best domain for your new website is the one already in use.

When ready to go live we’ll send some A records to update in your domain DNS settings.
Your current administrator should be able to advise you who to contact to make the required changes to put your new website live.

If you are having trouble identifying who administers your domain, please get in touch and we will try and help. (It could be your local authority, a private company or someone at school).

If your current administrator no longer wants to administer your domain, or you want to transfer that responsibility away from them you can do it yourself, or we can do it for you (additional charges apply for Schudio to manage your domain).

If you want to setup a new domain, that’s also an option, although we’d suggest only doing this if your current domain is irretrievable.
