About us
We want to and will make it easy for schools to keep their staff, pupils, parents, partners, other stake-holders and wider community informed, updated and engaged.

Now, by merely typing in the text you can do it too!

It's so easy even 7 year old children can do it. If you are able to move a mouse, click a few buttons and string a few sentences together you can maintain a cutting edge site.

We'll give you all the training you'll need, support you on the phone or with email, all to make sure you get the best out of your investment.

Our killer features are:
Superb content management and blog software. Excellent Google optimisation.
An email to weblog interface, making updating your school blog a doddle. 
Top draw support and feedback.

Pushing against the establishment
Of course, the Times would pick up on this little, tiny tidbit: Playing fields of Eton could be open to all: "Eton and other major public schools could be forced to open up their famous playing fields to local children under plans announced today by Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary."

Bet this never really happens >:-(

Another quiz
Another quiz from Tamesides Waterloo. This time children's TV. Must have a word about Word docs. Not everybody has it, it's expensive. Jan could merely create a story and put the questions in there.

Mind, a good and free application that will open Word docs is Open Office. I use it. What better recommendation?

Croft's updated
Lots of news in one burst from Walsall's Croft Community Primary School.

First is a welcome back. And telling us of the new Head, he was the Deputy. And several new teachers. New cook staff too to cook the new menus.

Plans for the website this year. We'll all be looking forward to more updates from Croft. The more the merrier.

News on the building work going on there. I live in cloud cuckoo land sometimes, but it'd would be marvelous if Croft too came on board the advertising module. Maybe they could build a new blog gym too. One day.

Some good writing will be coming on the site too, they're having a drive for literacy. Matt! You should check out my Year 4 Writing for Different Audiences, the integrated task.

Finishing with a report on a visit to the local secondary where some experiments excited the kids — I bet :-)

Trees!
It seems that as many of the staff have swapped rooms, this year, people are getting confused. So, at Pelsall, they've come up with the bright idea of naming rooms not after teachers but after trees--since a tree is their logo.

I suggested that it'd be nice to have the leaves on the doors too--a teachable moment :-)
