Hello, I am a Head of a small school in North Yorkshire. I am completely impressed by the quality of your website presentation. I wondered if you could share the details of some of the software you are using? I'd particularly like to know how you are creating and posting your videos. Great work. Thanks David.

I must say, this is a wonderful site, well designed for parents and pupils. As a former pupil of The Downs (1975-82, including The Annexe on Dover Road), the school shines as an example of where I want to send my own children. Maybe when we move back to Blighty from Malaysia...

What a wonderful website. And I'm not just talking about the design, which is impressive, but the content.As a teacher who works on a school website, I know just how much effort needs to go into producing such wonderful content. I have taken great inspiration from your site and will be trying out some similar content myself. Congratulations!

I loved looking through your website. The idea of podcast - parent zone - student zone --- LOVE IT!!!

I look at lots of schools' websites and yours is exceptionally good. It is relevant for such a wide ranging audience, not an easy thing to achieve. Visually it is very engaging, and the 'star of the show', the children's work is showcased perfectly. A really impressive website. Well done to everyone involved.
