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.

Creating PDFs
Here's a tip that I just emailed one customer, Kersey Primary in Suffolk. She wants to create a PDF of her school brochure which is a Word doc.

I'm not sure with Word, I don't have it, I believe there may be an export function to export as a pdf.

Regardless, this is the other way, the way that I use, and have used for years. You need to download this PrimoPDF

Once installed, it will add another printer to your list. Then, you just print your brochure, to that printer. Of course it won't actually print, but it will save it, in the primopdf folder as a pdf. Simple. You can use it in every application, too. Cool :-)

Children find Jamie Oliver's school food hard to swallow, say inspectors: "Schools which have marketed their menus have done much better."

Anybody can be sold. My 9 year old daughter complains of the grumpy staff, putting tomato sauce on her beans, and of baked beef lumps, fried, breaded fish that's 'squishy' in the middle.

I always give her a packed lunch. Tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches with low fat mayonnaise. Sliced orange, with wet wipes, a fruit and nut bar and a cake, or chocolate treat.

What's changed? In primary I used to come home for lunch. In secondary, I loved the school dinners. Though I remember having lots of seconds when it was cheese pie day, which I though was scrummy, though not every one else did. And on the rare days we had curry... Cor!

I liked everything, the socialising, the staff, the dinners... Everything except the 'giving thanks' bit at the start. Though I appreciated the tradition, and it only added to the anticipation.
