New Website Design - Update on Responses
Thu 18 Feb 2016UPDATE - Wednesday 24th February.
Thank you for responses received to date. There has been considerable interest in our proposed new design and we have received 67 replies to date - almost half of our school families.
The replies have been as follows:
Formal Design - 13
Informal Design - 44
Illustrated Design - 10
Continuing to indicate a clear preference for an Informal Design Theme.
There is still some time to be involved, and we will be accepting replies until Monday 29th February.
As you know we are working on a design update for our website, and you will have received letters outlining three broad choices which are available.
Thank you for so many responses received already.
So far, the preferred design is the 'Informal' option, and that by a significant margin.
We will be able to receive your replies until the end of February when we will begin working towards a more detailed design to reflect our school.
Please remember that portfolio of design themes can be viewed using the 'PrimarySite.net' link at the bottom of our homepage. -
