Many schools might have hosted, Static websites, where no change or update  is possible. 

Twynhams are pleased to present a NEW CMS based solution which enables the school to update information without the support of a web designer or programmer. The software provides facilities to update by simply sending a file.

What are the benefits of setting up a Portal for Schools?

The prime purpose of any portal is to provide information. A portal will enable you to tell the world that your school exists, provide information for existing pupils and parents, or promote the school to prospective ones. 

The portal can be used to showcase examples of pupils’ work- in words, pictures, sound or movie clips and can share resources for teaching and learning both with the school and with colleagues elsewhere. 

Positive benefits for a school having a “presence” on the Web and developing the use of Internet technology:

• It can provide children with easily managed and secure access to Internet based resources
  
• Children’s work can be celebrated with and viewed by a targeted audience, providing a powerful and positive motivational factor
  
• An increasing number of parents with internet access can be kept informed of events and information about their children’s school
  
• Parents can be encouraged to interact with the school through e-mail/ other interactive sessions
  
• Children can easily have ownership of the design and content of web pages leading to respect for the technology and higher standards of ICT work
  
• A site with selected links extends the learning experience into the home
  
• A website can provide interactive forums and e-mail experiences that develop the communication skills of the future
