About

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

We’re driven by a passion to serve schools well and not charge the earth. The reason we do what we do is to make it possible for us to help support our projects in Uganda. We don’t support these projects as an act of corporate responsibility. It is why we exist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Story & Achievements<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2011 – Founded<\/h4><\/div>

Having been approached by 2 separate Sixth Form Colleges to solve the problems encountered through WordPress and poor hosting provision, Ian Richardson built the first version of the Schudio CMS and stumbled into a niche.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2012 – Schudio CMS Launched<\/h4><\/div>

The first version of the Schudio CMS was launched in 2012 to every school in Blackpool, Lancashire at the annual schools gathering. We immediately started serving a number of Blackpool primary schools and the journey began in full.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2013 – Rapid Growth<\/h4><\/div>

We rapidly expanded across Lancashire, securing swathes of schools as word spread about our bespoke CMS and the level of service we provided. Our goal through our growth has been to retain a family feel, a boutique agency approach and an exceptional level of support to our clients. We seek to be considered as an extension of your team.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2014 – Compliance Software Launched<\/h4><\/div>

As school website compliance became a more critical issue facing schools, we built one of a series of completely unique features. The school website compliance software enabled schools to visually compare their website live against the latest requirements, immediately saving endless hours of manual auditing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2015 – Uganda Projects Began<\/h4><\/div>

Since founding Schudio in 2011, one of our biggest drivers has been how we can serve “the least of these”; those who are in desperate need. And so, Ian visited Uganda, a lifelong dream, to partner with a range of esstablished, in-country organisations to provide support. To date, we have been part of building schools and infrastructure for children and young people with additional needs and providing long-term support.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2016 – Unique, Powerful Features<\/h4><\/div>

One of our most mission-critical goals has always been saving time and making life easier for anyone working in school and looking after the school website. Document Groups, centralised and shareable content and media and centralised management of vital information were all released to add huge power to clients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2017 – Multi-Academy Trust Provision Enhancements<\/h4><\/div>

As more and more Trusts are formed, we continue to develop new features that support the expansion of Trusts and the need to centralise services; RAG reports, documents and groups that can be embedded on each school’s website and a growing range of related features.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2018 – Parental Engagement App Partnership<\/h4><\/div>

We have always sought to be partnership-driven, stemming from our background in partnership development in a range of sectors. Our partnership with parental engagement providers ensures that we retain the cutting edge and only work with those at the very sharp end of engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2021 – School Marketing Enhancements<\/h4><\/div>

Broadening our offer to provide a range of supplemental services has been important to us from inception; we now offer a full-service of photography, videography, marketing and content-managed services, plus social media functions and high-end strategic services.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
