Our verdict on Schoolground

Schoolground is a website builder and communications platform for New Zealand schools, serving teachers, students, parents, and wider school communities. It combines mobile-friendly page creation with online forms, content transfer, document archives, photo galleries, video display, newsletters, payments, intranet areas, and secure multi-user access. Schools can also use contact management, sports coordination, custom domains, and optional mobile apps across web, iOS, and Android.

Pricing is paid, and the published website package pricing lists a starting price of 495. Bronze includes three templates, school colours and logo options, website content transfer, an online form builder, mobile-friendly pages, and a free mobile app. Silver adds a customised home page, underlying page design, and three hours of training. Gold includes the Bronze and Silver features, plus a consultative design process and fully bespoke website. The mobile app is separate from the paid website packages, so schools should distinguish app access from the broader website plan when comparing costs.

The strongest fit is for schools that need one platform for public content, parent communications, enrolment or consent forms, online payments, and restricted information areas. Its ecosystem is particularly relevant to schools working with KAMAR, MUSAC, Edge, Helix, Xero, MYOB, PhotoCard, Stripe, POLi, Debitsuccess, or Facebook. Schools seeking a more focused website builder, or those prioritising dedicated calendar and staff-directory workflows, should compare alternatives. Schoolground makes the most sense for institutions that value local-system connections and communication tools alongside their website.
