Give parents the answers they look for before they have to ask.
This template gives you six finished pages written in plain HTML and CSS, built for a nursery, primary and secondary school. Change the name, fees, text, colours, and photos; connect your form; and upload it to any host. A step-by-step guide takes you from download to live site.
What your visitors see
- A home page with a "My child is going into" finder: parents pick a stage and see what it offers, the fee, and a button to book a tour
- An admissions page with a four-step process, fee cards for each stage, a documents checklist, key dates and an FAQ
- A learning page with your curriculum, subjects, clubs and pupil care
- An about page with the Head's welcome, values, staff, school history and approvals
- A news and events page with filters for news, events and notices, plus term dates
- A contact page with a tour request form, contact details and directions
- A "Parents and staff" block on the home page, ready for your portal sign-in links (parents see report cards, fees and notices; staff enter scores and keep records)
Why it works for schools
- Deep royal blue with sharp red and a touch of gold, the colours schools are known for, with smooth gradients: bold and trustworthy, not a cliché school template
- Built for phones first, because most parents arrive from WhatsApp and a phone browser; the phone menu includes the parent portal link and a call button
- Fast: no heavy frameworks, no plugins
- Real classroom, library, science, art and sport photos already in place, with no children's faces, so the demo looks finished and you avoid photo-permission problems while you set up
- Change the colours by editing a few lines (three ready-made alternative colour sets are in the guide, checked for contrast)
- Fixed menu bar that stays in view as visitors scroll, and a home screen that fills the display
- Fonts included and free for commercial use
What you need
- A text editor (the guide recommends free ones)
- A web host (the guide covers free and low-cost options) and ideally your own domain
- A form service such as Formspree or Basin if you do not want the form to open the visitor's email app
Please note
- All names, quotes, numbers, dates and fees in the demo are sample text. Replace them with your own before publishing.
- The contact form opens the visitor's email app by default. The guide shows how to connect a form service instead.
- The "Parent portal" link and the Parent sign in and Staff sign in buttons point nowhere until you give them your portal's addresses (or delete them).
- This is a static template, not a WordPress theme or a Wix/Squarespace template. The template does not include a working portal, online fee payment or a results system (see the next section if you want one built).
- The seven sample photos are free stock photos from Pexels, used under the Pexels License (photographers are named in CREDITS.txt). They are there so the demo looks real. Replace them with your own photos before you publish.
NEED SCHOOL TOOLS TOO?
The site is ready for a parent and staff portal. If your school wants one, I build them. For example, the report card and fees portal I built for The Chosen College gives every teacher a private login to enter scores, print report cards in the school's own layout, match bank payments to pupils' fees, and provides a phone-first parent view for each family's child. Staff save hours every term, and parents get answers without phoning the school. You can try a working demo with invented data: staff view and parent view (click a role to sign in). Message me at [email protected] for a quote. Portals are a separate service and are not included in the template price.
Licence: one website per purchase (your own school or one client's). No resale or sharing of the files.

WHO IT IS FOR
Private nursery, primary and secondary schools, and web designers who build sites for them. It also works for a school that has only one or two of those stages: delete the card and finder options you don't need.
