School Spider

Kath Markham: the website is continually growing, the support is excellent and the website is easy to use
Rachel Battersby: Very good value for money, easy to edit
Andy Brady: I think School Spider is THE benchmark for what a high-quality, low-maintenance school website should be. The incredible customer service - including responding to our requests for a bespoke and tailored design - is above and beyond the call of duty. Our website has helped us to develop so many areas of our practice and has increased our awareness of the importance of branding and projecting an image which is consistent with our values. We would urge other schools to explore the tools and quality of the service School Spider offer - they will not be disappointed!

School Spider

We aim to make the School Spider software as easy to use as possible so only a basic computer knowledge is needed of both administrative staff and students.

  • Users will be given a username and password and access to the schools new testing website. From here they will be able to login and perform tasks.
  • All training is given by School Spider at time of trial period setup,
  • School administrators and teachers would need a computer connected to the internet.
  • Parents can either access parents' area through the school website or by downloading the School Spider mobile app on Android or iOS
