Why is St. Michael's Woolmer Green School Web Site of the Month?

 

  • The St Michael's Woolmer Green web site is an excellent site which must be
    seen! It provides a window on what life is like at the school and it can be
    relied upon to provide up to date news and events virtually as they happen
    (or pretty soon afterwards anyhow!).
  • Updating the site regularly and informing visitors when the pages were last updated has helped to keep the site fresh, and the content relevant and interesting.
  • This site has gradually evolved by inviting ideas and comments from parents by way of a regular survey. This has helped the site to become user-friendly as well as an invaluable tool for parents and the wider community.
  • The good work pages on the site are a lovely idea. On the negative side they need a lot of updating. However, the result makes it worth it! It is a great way of displaying some of the fantastic work that children have produced in school to the world.

Further Development Ideas for St. Michael's Woolmer Green School Web Site...

  • The topic cycle pages could include links to useful web sites that relate to
    topics the children are covering in school. This may be helpful for the
    children to refer to at home.
  • It would be good to see information about the file size of PDF documents
    used on the site, so that it is possible to work out how long the document is
    likely to take before it opens up. This is particularly useful information
    to any visitors who are using a dial-up connection rather than broadband!

Overall, the St. Michael's Woolmer Green School web site is an excellent site. Visit www.woolmergreen.herts.sch.uk to take a look!
