What is a School Site?
Glow Blogs isn’t just for class blogs and learner portfolios, it’s also a powerful way to build a school site. Whether you want a public-facing website for your school community or a private hub for staff and pupils to use day-to-day, Glow Blogs gives you the tools to set one up without needing any technical expertise.
Public-Facing School Website
A public-facing school site on Glow Blogs works like a traditional school website. It’s visible to anyone on the internet and is a great way to share news, upcoming events, policies, and information for parents and carers.
You can use pages to organise your content, set a homepage, add a navigation menu, and customise the look and feel using your chosen theme – all from within your Glow Blogs dashboard.
Private School Hub
A private school site works as an internal space for your school community. Access can be restricted to Glow users only, making it a safe environment to share resources, timetables, staff updates, or pupil-facing content that you don’t want publicly visible.
This kind of site works well as a central landing point – a place staff and pupils can be directed to easily.
