What is e4education?
A website isn’t just a website. It’s the first thing prospective parents and staff will look at when they want to find out more about your school or trust. So, when you want to make a good first impression you want a website that showcases your school and portrays your unique values.
With over 20 years' experience, we are passionate about helping schools achieve success by offering creative digital and website solutions for schools, trusts and teaching schools.
All of our creative school web designs are built on our easy-to-use, innovative content management system which has been developed and maintained in-house, exclusively for the education sector. Updating a web page is a breeze with our WYSIWYG text editor and uploading images couldn’t be easier – simply drag and drop where you want it on the page.
Our powerful CMS gives you full control over users and their permissions, content can be optimised for SEO, and you can even use it for all your parental engagements too with our integrated communications, booking and payment modules.
All of our products benefit from unlimited technical support - so if you need advice or have a query, our team are only ever a phone call or email away.
Alongside school website design, communications tools, booking & payment systems, we also offer a range of creative solutions for schools and trusts to enhance your online presence including branding, prospectus design, multimedia services, SEO packages and a remote learning platform.
Recommended Usage
The website can be updated by the customer 24/7 so usage can be determined by the school based on their needs and requirements.
We recommend that the school website is updated atleast once a week (with recent news stories for example) to encourage engagement and provide up-to-date information to parents and carers.

It continues to be a pleasure to work with e4education. From initial conversations where we discussed the scope of our project, they were interested, attentive and approachable. Throughout the design, build and development stage we were fully involved and supported. The exemplary support has continued now that our websites have launched - their support teams are easily contactable, straightforward and happy to help.
Hayley Gallimore found School Website Design & Communication Tools:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“Teachers do not update the website at our school, so this question is not relevant for us.”
- Moderately saves school money“Their prices are very competitive. We have saved money by using a 'clone' of the original website (Tupton Halll School) to build new sites for two further schools at a reduced cost, and we hope to further utilise this benefit as a Trust.”
- Significantly improves school processes“We are operating a more efficient communications routine thanks to our streamlined, re-designed website. A redesigned sitemap means it's now clear to all school staff which content does and doesn't belong on the website. We are hoping that the inbuilt newsletter builder will save much time too.”
- Significantly improves parental engagement“The vibrant and accessible design means parents can more easily find the information they need.”

We are very happy with our website and communications tools from e4education. However, the main reason I would recommend them to other schools (and indeed we already have recommended them to other schools in our area) is their staff. They are just superb - an absolute pleasure to work with and they couldn't be more helpful or accommodating. I would recommend without hesitation.
