Lanercost Church of England Primary School.
A Church of England primary school needed a welcoming, accessible website for parents — ethos, calendar, policies and day-to-day information without noise.
- Primary education
- Small website
- Calm site for families
01The delivered site
Delivered layout.
The layout we shipped for this project — desktop first, with a phone view where we have one.
02The brief
Parent anxiety lives in missing information.
What we were hired to fix
Term dates, policies, safeguarding and “what happens next” questions pile up in the office when the website cannot answer them. Schools also carry statutory publishing duties that generic templates often bury.
Lanercost needed a site that felt warm and clear — church school values, practical information, mobile-first for parents on the gate.
03What we delivered
Warmth without clutter.
We prioritised the pages parents actually open: about the school, admissions, calendar, policies and contact — with typography and hierarchy that stay readable on a phone between drop-off and pickup.
Accessibility and content structure were treated as requirements, not polish.
- 01
Map the pages that earn their keep.
Home, services, proof, contact — no CMS maze. Each page has a job and a way back to an enquiry.
- 02
Local trust on the surface.
Areas served, reviews, prices where they help, and photography that matches the trade.
- 03
Put the call path in the header.
Phone, quote and visit CTAs stay visible. The site is a receptionist, not a brochure rack.
- 04
Hand over something they can keep.
Copy and images sit where a busy owner can update them without a rebuild every quarter.
04Outcomes
What good looked like.
Parent-first navigation.
Key information is reachable without hunting through outdated menus.
Ethos made visible.
Church school identity and community tone without decorative clutter.
Office relief.
Fewer repeat questions when policies and calendars are easy to find.
Next step
A primary school site should feel like a good welcome — clear, kind and up to date.
A short call with the person who would run it — not a sales script.
