[Editor's side note:]
| The text below is intended to viewed from within a school's website in our eduweblog community! |
| Much of the statistics are built dynamically for the individual school at the time of viewing. The below names, addresses, figures and stats are pertinent only to my site. Each school's site's mileage will vary. More traffic, more inventory. |
| It is intended to be re-written, added to, amended by the individual school according to their policies and priorities; aims and goals. Tailored to individual customers needs. |
| I am not a lawyer nor do I, in any way, intend to warrant any deals done. It is solely the school's business, responsibility and rewards :-) |
| I'm just the tool provider here. |
| Any comments the reader has, please join up if you're not already a member and post them in the discussion group. |
| We are Websites for Schools. We've had our website since 02 July 2005 and publish to it frequently. |
| We own and run our website. What we say goes, or stays. |
| We post fresh content regularly with plenty of pictures: |
| news about the school |
| children's work |
| reviews of school trips |
| sports results |
| reviews of theatre or other visiting performers |
| forthcoming events at the school |
| children post their news, reviews too |
| parents and neighbours in our catchment area contribute local stories and events. |
| Sometimes we update several times in one day, throughout the day. Our Head, ICT-Coordinator, several members of staff, the pupils, as well as parents, governors and local dignitaries—all post and contribute regularly. |
| We're a membership based site, such that people, mainly parents and pupils and friends of the school can freely join the site and post comments on any news that's on our site. Discussions can and do also break out within the site. |
| Of course, we maintain editorial control over the content and can delete or edit anything we think inappropriate. |
| Our traffic is predominantly local, though we also receive traffic from other UK schools and stakeholders as well as from friends abroad. |
| All the money raised—every penny, will go into school funds, to buy more of what we need. We're currently aiming for a new hall/gym. |
| Price |
| We sell ad impressions in CPMs or Cost Per Thousand (M is the Roman numeral for 1,000) and have a range of sizes and positions to suit all budgets and requirements. |

| Tell your customers where you are, your opening times, your best deals, how good your services are, all within our site. |
