The key to a successful online presence is having fresh content on your website.
You should plan to continuously improve your school website content, by conducting a new content audit at least every six months.
Quick tips
- Check the Published date to see when the page was last updated.
- Decide whether you should improve or remove old content.
- Use the department's content audit spreadsheet to help you analyse and make decisions about the usefulness of your content.
- Access metrics (such as page views, site visits and top pages viewed) to make data-driven decisions about whether you should improve (update, rewrite, or consolidate) or remove old content.
- Consider combining content when two pages are competing on the same search result.
Analytics
Analytics will help you to make data-driven decisions about your site. Gain valuable insights about the behaviour of your users and how effective your content is, then take action to improve and update the content on your school website.

Department supported storage

The School Website Service's Adobe Experience Manager platform cannot be used as a repository for obsolete content.
Permission to publish records
Written parental permission is necessary for any public identification of students. Keeping the signed permission notes and a record of which students have permission will cover the school legally.
