Welcome to the new site!
Welcome to the new world of schoolswork.co.uk online! We said goodbye to the old site a few days ago and are very excited to be at this stage, finally seeing the new vision for schoolswork.co.uk’s web presence become reality.
About a year ago a group of schools workers met in a monastery in Bedford to pray and dream about what a new website could look like. That grew into other conversations, plans, questions and designs and a year on here we are with the new site. In one sense, nothing has changed (schoolswork.co.uk has always been about connecting you with great people, projects, resources and inspiration), but in another sense, everything has changed (with regard to our presence here online). This new vehicle for the project, we hope, will give you better access to the things that are going to benefit you most in your ministry, will allow you to feel more in control as you navigate your way around the site and will be packed full of up to date information and links.
We hope you really enjoy exploring the new site, checking out the new features and customising your homepage modules (see user guide for info). Our prayer is that it is a useful part of your journey in accessing tools to equip you for your work in schools, in whatever capacity that may be for you. As well as the new features, the site still contains all the great content from the original site, including all of the useful ‘I Need To’ guides, the hundreds of resources in the Resource Toolkit and pages full of ideas and questions on the community blog. If there is something specific you are looking for, type it into the search bar to see what results come up.
We’d love to know what you think of the new site, so please leave a comment or get in touch with us and give us feedback (both on the things you like and the things which may not be working smoothly yet). What you see now isn’t the finished product…we have a long list of modules which will be added to the site over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for those and we look forward to hearing how you’re finding it.
Enjoy!
Love it, love it, love it. Looks fantastic. Thanks to everyone who’s been working so hard to make this happen.
It looks fantastic! Congratulations not only on a good looking site, but tons of helpful information for us schools workers ;-)
Great stuff! Just gets better and better - love the customisable homepage plus of course its full of good stuff. I use multiple sites on my homepage now so don’t forget to add this to yours too!
Hey Ames, It’s looking great well done all of you! Wondered any chance of a gallery of school related images for people to use in presentations etc down the line of course…tho knowing you it’s already on the list!!!
Thanks for the encouragements! Great idea Lillie. Some pictures are already available to use as blog images here: http://www.schoolswork.co.uk/blog/post/. Over the next couple of months you should see the site developing in all sorts of interesting ways. This is just the start!
Amy I love it, well done to you and your team!! I have just finished customising my homepage, great fun and loved the surprise me button!
