Meeting the needs

This web service has been developed to help satisfy the increasing demand for school websites to become more of an integral part of school life as described in the guidelines in the ICT Directions document.

When using this service, the content of the school website can be managed by the Head, ICT Coordinator, teachers, administrative staff and the pupils. There is no need for special programs. All you need is a web browser. Because it is based on the Internet, it is accessible from school, home or indeed anywhere in the world.
