Bricknell Primary School – Primary School Website Design, Hull
Bricknell Primary School in Hull has worked with Digital Schools for over 12 years, making it one of our longest-standing school partnerships. The latest website redesign builds on that relationship, combining a distinctive visual identity with clear content, original photography and straightforward navigation for families, staff and the wider school community.
A visual identity inspired by The Constellation Trust
Bricknell Primary School is part of The Constellation Trust, and the website reflects that relationship while retaining a distinctive identity for the individual school.
Stars, sunlight and planetary-inspired graphics are used throughout the design, creating a recognisable visual theme that complements the school’s character and reinforces its aspiration for every child to reach their potential.
Curriculum content that communicates
The curriculum is an important part of any primary school website, providing families with an opportunity to understand what children learn and the thinking behind the school’s approach.
At Bricknell, Digital Schools developed dedicated curriculum content across individual subject areas, helping the school communicate its educational vision clearly and giving parents greater insight into learning across the curriculum.
The result is a curriculum section that provides useful information while also communicating the wider ambitions and educational character of the school.
Clear statutory information and accessible content
School websites need to make important statutory and organisational information straightforward for parents and other visitors to find.
The Bricknell website was structured with current school website publishing requirements, accessibility and usability in mind. Key information including SEND provision, governance, admissions, policies and curriculum content is organised clearly and consistently throughout the site.
This approach helps the school present important information effectively while maintaining the strong visual identity of the wider website.
The Graduate Awards Programme
Bricknell Primary School’s Graduate Awards Programme gives pupils opportunities to extend their learning across a broad range of subjects and work towards Graduate status at their own pace.
Subject areas include Aspirational People, Design & Technology, Geography, PSHE, English Literature, Science, French, Art, RE, PE, Music, History and Maths, reflecting the breadth of learning opportunities available through the programme.
Digital Schools created a dedicated Graduate Awards area within the website, giving pupils and families a clear introduction to the programme, the subjects available and how children can take part.
It is a good example of how a school website can go beyond presenting essential information and provide a platform for distinctive curriculum and enrichment opportunities that are important to the individual school.
Professional school photography at Bricknell
Digital Schools also carried out professional photography across Bricknell Primary School, capturing classroom learning, pupils, staff and the wider school environment.
The resulting library of original photography is used throughout the website, helping prospective families gain an authentic impression of the school and giving Bricknell high-quality imagery for its wider communications.
A long-standing Digital Schools partnership
Having worked with Bricknell Primary School for more than 12 years, Digital Schools continues to support the school as its website and communications requirements evolve.
The latest website brings together bespoke design, clear curriculum and statutory information, responsive development and professional photography to create an online presence that reflects the individual character of Bricknell Primary School.
