BreamTeam go back to school!
St Patricks’ Catholic Primary School in Plumstead, London and BreamTeam have worked together to give the school a brand new web presence.
With BreamTeam already having experience in the Education sector – after creating a web presence for the Malek Academy in South Sudan – BreamTeam’s ultimate goal for this project was to move away from the usual generic and static school websites and produce a design and funtionality that not only fits in with the school’s ethos, but is also engaging for the children and their parents.
BreamTeam Managing Director, Dan Bream said: “We were really excited to be asked by St Patrick’s to produce their new school website and prospectus document.
“From the outset, it was clear that there seems to be a lot of ‘dull and boring’ school websites all using standard templates, which in the main are uninspiring and extremely difficult to use. We worked closely with St Patrick’s in order to produce results that not only broke the usual ‘school website boundaries’, but also provides the school with a functional website that they can be proud of.”
Featuring a whole host of sections; including information about the school, curriculum, parent resources, as well as a “Days Gone By” section, St Patrick’s now have one of the most intuitive school websites that we have seen to date.
St Patrick’s Headteacher, Ossie Folkes said: “St Patrick’s have had a very positive experience with BreamTeam. The finished job reflects very well on the work of the school and raises our profile.”
Whilst being built solely on BreamTeam’s Goldfish Enterprise platform, we took this opportunity to adapt the functionality solely for a school perspective. This means that all staff can gain access, dependant on user rights, and amend their own pages, especially when it comes to teachers being able to alter their own class page.
In addition to the website, BreamTeam also provided Multimedia services, in the form of photography, which has provided a good collection of imagery of the school building, pupils and the surrounding areas. This imagery was then included in the new School Prospectus Brochure that BreamTeam produced. This has also been converted into a “virtual document” and made available on the school website, using our Digital Publishing technology.
