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.

Bannanas on the front door, coffee on the stair...
Is ‘mind mapping' the fast track to language learning? "I have finished all of the units and I am astonished and proud to say that while I do not remember every word -- making conversation somewhat stilted and full of pauses -- I do feel that I have a good grasp of basic Italian and can speak comfortably on everyday subjects. Although I haven't put my newly acquired skills to the test over a long period of time, already I find that the vocabulary I'm looking for seems to pop into my head rather than deliberately absenting itself, as it has in the past."

Good idea?
New York Times: Single-Sex Public Educations: "The boys like being on their own, they say, because girls don't appreciate their jokes and think boys are too messy, and are also scared of snakes. The walls of the boys' classroom are painted blue, the light bulbs emit a cool white light and the thermostat is set to 69 degrees. In the girls' room, by contrast, the walls are yellow, the light bulbs emit a warm yellow light and the temperature is kept six degrees warmer, as per the instructions of Leonard Sax, a family physician turned author and advocate who this May will quit his medical practice to devote himself full time to promoting single-sex public education."

Bonus links: National Association For Single Sex Public Education and Why gender matters Dr Sax's site where he explains the differences in his book.
