about
us

Creative by name, creative by nature. Creative Schools is made up of a team of highly-motivated and talented individuals. We’re constantly striving to innovate and improve, bringing the best in design and value to our customers. Our focus is on quality and individuality, getting to know our clients personally so that we can use our expertise to convey what makes them special. This is reflected in our design and our relationships.

A brief history

Before founding Creative Schools in 2012, Simon Sheppard was the Web Manager at the multi-award winning Hackney Learning Trust. With over a decade of experience delivering pioneering solutions in the most improved borough in the country, Simon has overseen the delivery of everything from LEA intranets, to hundreds of school websites. Creative Schools was founded as an exciting marriage of this proven experience combined with the latest technology, with one aim… to become a school’s first choice for website design services.

Technology driven

Since we first started, Creative Schools has endeavoured  to use the very best of the technology available on the market and apply it to the educational sector. This is why everything we use, from our Content Management System (WordPress), to our email marketing platform (MailChimp) is the market leader in its field. We also focus on compatibility, ensuring our solutions integrate with one another, both now and in the future.

Best Value

When we use the words “bespoke” and “personalised”, the immediate perception is that we will be expensive. However, this simply isn’t true. Whilst we may not be the cheapest provider on offer, we’re certainly not the most expensive and we believe that our service represents the best value to our clients.

why
choose us?

Here are eight things that make us special and separate us from other providers.

100% Client retention

Simply put, we've never lost a client. With our client retention at 100%, we believe that this is the best indicator of our continued success and customer satisfaction.

5 Star Service Rating

After each project, we carry out a survey to gauge how the customer found our service. We've never received an overall rating of less than 5 out of 5 stars.

International Award Winning Agency

In 2016, one of our school websites (Jo Richardson Community School) won an Interactive Media Award (Best in Class) in the category of 'School', coming 1st from 42 finalists.

A Face-to-face approach

We believe client involvement is integral to a successful project, which is why we'll visit you at least five times during a typical eight week website project.

Helping schools in need

We genuinely want to improve lives for children. Hence, we apply special discounts and additional support for schools in special measures or schools that have exceptional needs.

WordPress (Content Management System)

We use WordPress as our Content Management System. WordPress is by far the world's most popular CMS with a 58% share of the global market.

Automatic Content Distribution

Do you hate having to duplicate the same story across websites, social media, newsletters and displays etc? Our websites automatically populate each channel, so you only need to write the story once.

A Dedicated Project Manager

Your dedicated project manager is with you from the beginning, through to post-launch support. Therefore, if you ever have any questions you only deal with a single point of contact.
