The Challenge

A Professional Website for a World-Class Academy

One Degree Academy, a finalist for the T4 Education World's Best School Prize, required a new website that reflected their unwavering commitment to exceptional standards. The challenge was to create a digital presence worthy of a globally-recognised institution—one that prioritised sophisticated content and functionality for a mature audience of parents, carers, and community stakeholders, moving decisively away from a child-centric, graphics-heavy aesthetic.

The Solution

Our Solution: A Mobile-First Website Built for Engagement

We delivered a custom, mobile-first website designed specifically for parents and carers on the go. The solution focused on flexibility, ease of use, and ensuring all content—not just the homepage—meets a high standard.

Key Features of the Redesign:

  • A Modular, Dynamic Homepage: We built a flexible homepage that allows the school to easily highlight what matters most—whether it's a key job vacancy, student recruitment drives, essential parent resources, or their Outstanding Ofsted rating.
  • Streamlined Navigation: A clear mega-menu with quick links and key information was implemented, enabling users to find what they need instantly, reducing friction and improving the overall experience.
  • Content-First Secondary Pages: Unlike many projects where secondary pages are an afterthought, we treated them as a priority. We ensured every page, from the weekly news posts to a detailed policy document, is well-designed, SEO-optimised, and consistent with the site's core branding and usability.

The Result

Enhanced Engagement and Streamlined Communication

The new website has successfully positioned One Degree Academy as a modern, professional institution. The mobile-first design and intuitive navigation have led to a significant decrease in bounce rates and a substantial increase in time spent on site, particularly on key pages like admissions and job vacancies. Most importantly, the school now has a powerful, flexible tool to communicate directly with its core audience—parents and carers—ensuring vital information is always accessible and engaging.

Parents love it, staff love it, so we love it. What do you think?
