Challenge

St John’s Catholic Primary is a primary school serving children aged 4 to 11. Known for its warm, inclusive Catholic ethos and a diverse community of around 17 nationalities, the school values spiritual formation and strong academic standards. It needed a website that reflected these values while meeting practical needs for parent communication and internal processes. However, the existing site did not make it easy for parents to find newsletters, policies or school information when needed. Navigation was not intuitive and essential content such as policy documents, news updates or event details was hard to locate. The school needed a site that served as both a welcoming digital front door and a robust resource centre for parents and staff.

Solution

PRG designed and developed a modern, clean website tailored to community needs while upholding the school’s ethos of clarity and care:
  • Protected parent portal: a secure area for personalised access to newsletters, updates and resources.
  • Information restructuring: content was organised under clear, accessible headings, making it easier for users to find what they need.
  • Policy resources page: a dedicated and easy-to-update section with downloadable policies and documents for parents and staff.
  • Live events calendar: an interactive, visually clear calendar for upcoming school events, term dates and parent-teacher meetings.
  • Consistent visual identity: the design was aligned with the school’s welcoming values and existing site branding to maintain coherence.
  • Responsive, user-friendly interface: ensured fast loading, simple navigation and compatibility across devices to support all users, especially parents accessing via mobile.

Result

The revamped website now delivers a clean, organised and user-friendly experience. Information is easy to find quickly which reduces queries and administrative work for staff. With added clarity in communications and improved functionality, the site functions as a central school resource hub. Document versioning and resource management are now efficient and streamlined. Overall, the site reflects the school’s caring, community-centred ethos while bringing practical benefits for parents, staff and the wider school community.
