Greenhouse School Websites
Greenwich, London, UK
What it is
Greenhouse School Websites designs and operates websites and a content management system for schools and multi-academy trusts. The CMS allows unlimited pages and menus, and supports uploads of thousands of documents, photos, and videos. Staff can update a site in a browser from any internet-connected computer, while administrators assign permissions for editing, approval, and publishing. Websites include responsive layouts and accessibility features such as keyboard access, clear labels, text resizing, and reflow support. Security provisions listed by Greenhouse include SSL certificates, cookie notices, secure hosting with daily backups, and GDPR compliance. The service also offers school apps with push notifications, integrations with tools including Google Analytics and Google Maps, Ofsted early warning alerts, and an audit tool based on DfE website requirements. Support is available by phone, email, and live chat, with training videos and weekly webinars. Pricing starts at £945, and a free trial is available. Standard contracts are 12 months; Greenhouse says most sites launch within around four to six weeks, depending on design, content, and feedback.
