Our verdict on eSchools

eSchools provides a school website content management system for primary schools, secondary schools and Multi-Academy Trusts. Its website tools cover drag-and-drop editing, custom design, multi-staff access with editing permissions, news and event publishing, mobile-responsive pages, social media links and feeds, and SEO features such as custom meta descriptions. Event calendars, accessibility tools and custom domains are included in the category-specific offering.

The product can be purchased as an individual module or as part of eSchools’ wider platform. Beyond website management, the broader platform includes parent messaging, homework, attendance, payments, parents’ evening booking and virtual learning features. This modular approach suits schools that want to start with a website and add communication, learning or administration tools, while schools seeking only a narrowly focused website builder may not need the wider feature set. Prospective customers are directed to request a demo.

Compliance is a meaningful part of the website offering, with a website compliance checker and documented accessibility features. However, eSchools states that supplied websites are only partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA, so schools should review their accessibility requirements before choosing it. The combination of permissions, publishing tools, responsive pages and parent-facing functions makes eSchools a fit for schools managing content across staff and families. Schools requiring full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance from supplied websites should consider alternatives or conduct additional review before adoption.
