Every school website has a Staff page. Schools are expected to publish a page on their website detailing all the Governors. Schools also have lots of clubs, committees, teams and groups of staff and students.

Each and every time we build a new school website we create pages for staff and governors etc and our School Website CMS makes managing this pretty easily. Up until now website administrators have needed a few skills to make sure these pages look nice if every there are any updates to be made, which of course there are. Like I say, until now.

With the new People module in our School Website CMS, creating Groups of People and adding them to pages on your site couldn’t be any easier. Simply create a group (Staff, SLT, PTA, Governors etc) and then add People to that People Group. A very quick copy and paste of an embed code anywhere on your school website will display the details for that People Group, beautifully formatted and fully responsive.

A Few Key Features

• Unlimited number of People Groups
• Unlimited number of People
• Embed multiple groups in multiple Pages
• Include Email Address, Twitter account, Website (optional)
• Photos and pen sketch for every person you add
• Choose from a number of styles for photos of People
• Choose from Full Width of Grid style embed options

The module is built with a great deal of flexibility built in so that you can create as many groups as you like and display them in your website in a number of different ways.

Some Ideas on how to use the People module

Create a staff page and a People Group for each department (SLT, Teaching Staff, Support Staff etc) and have one page with everyone list, nicely grouped automatically into the relevant department

Create a Group for your student committees and embed that Group onto their own Page on your website

If you’re a large school and have a number of ‘Colleges’, create a Group for the staff team that manages that College and embed their Group into the College page on your website

Embed details on all your Governors on the Governors page
