How parents evaluate a school
Parents researching a school want the curriculum explained, the real annual cost including everything that is billed separately, class sizes, who teaches, and what admission involves. Most school sites offer a mission statement, a photo gallery and an invitation to call. So parents build comparison spreadsheets from fragments and fill the gaps with rumours from chat groups. The admissions process itself usually runs on paper and email, and nobody can say how many applications are in progress.
What we build for a private school
First, an admissions funnel on the site: requirements, stages, deadlines, and an application form that produces a trackable record instead of an email. Second, honest fee pages with what is included and what is extra, which is the question every parent is really asking. Third, curriculum and staff pages written to be compared. Fourth, bookable open days and tours, since the visit is what closes this decision, and a parent portal for the families who enrol.
