Feature Rich and Easy to Use for Special Needs Schools

Our school website software is built in-house, from the ground up and is built with the specific goal of making it easier for you to keep your special needs school website up to date. Easily celebrate all that is happening in your school and communicate with your community with a beautifully designed, well-maintained school website from Schudio.

Features Built for Special Needs Schools

Your special needs school website is your best and most trusted platform to celebrate everything that is going on in your school. We support hundreds of schools with options carefully built to meet your very specific needs. All our packages come with a range of unique features and exceptional levels of support.

Reflect who you are as a school

Every special needs school website we build is created to reflect who you are as a school in the best possible way. We’ll use gorgeous photos, bring out the very best of your brand and capture your unique values in a way that is very easy for your website visitors to get a true feel for what you’re about.

Beautifully, easily celebrate life in school

Think of all the amazing things that have happened in your school over the last few weeks. Have you been able to shout about those wonderful achievements? Features like News, Events and blogs make that possible and help paint a rich picture of life in school that engages your audience.

Share your stories far and wide

Creating rich news content is one thing, sharing the wonderful things that happen in your primary school far and wide is another. Our built-in social media sharing options make this highly effective and incredibly easy.

Gorgeus and Responsive as Standard

Your special school website has to be effective in reaching every part of your audience. That’s why your website must be ‘responsive’ and work on every device. You’ll get a beautiful, responsive website as standard.

Engagement App Included

Every special school website we build comes packaged with a stunning parental engagement app that will pull the most important content from your website automatically. We were the first company to build an app hooked into your website and know why this is so important.

Optional Advanced Messenger Services

Through strategic partnerships with the UK’s leading communication and engagement providers, your school website becomes what it is meant to be – the central hub for all your engagement activities. SMS, email and advanced app functions all in one.

… and so much more

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.
