Why is The Leys Primary & Nursery School Web Site of the Month?

 

  • The site caters for its target audience very well. It includes pretty much everything you would expect to see on a school web site plus a few extra bits that you wouldn’t normally see. You can even find information on this site about aerobics sessions and local child minders! These extra touches help the site appeal to a wider audience.
  • There is good use of images that really help to enhance this site, the home page which is make up a grid of images looks great and sells the school well.
  • The site is a great source of information for up to date school news, useful links and past events. All the text on the pages has been written in a friendly and relaxed style, this particularly comes across on the showcase pages which are fun to read.

Further Development Ideas for The Leys Primary and Nursery School Web Site...

  • The scrolling speed of the banner on the home page could do with being a bit slower to make the information a bit more readable and less distracting to the eye.
  • It would be great to see a page for each class featuring pupils work. This is a nice way of displaying examples of good work that children have produced during the year.

Overall, the The Leys Primary and Nursery School web site is an excellent site.
