Parent-first information architecture
Admissions, fees, transport (Leeds postcodes covered), uniform, term dates, the SEN process — surfaced where parents look first. Not buried under "About Us → Welcome from the Head".
For Leeds + LS-postcode schools · EU-sovereign
The Leeds school website that reassures parents + holds up to safeguarding scrutiny.
For independent schools, SEN providers, and tutoring services in Leeds + the LS postcodes. EU-sovereign hosting, KCSIE-aware copy + form handling, child-data-conscious vendor selection. Built by Jordan Gilbert, a Pudsey-based developer with 7+ years specialising in small-business websites. From £45/month.
Why a Leeds school website is different
Open-day discovery + safeguarding posture, on the same site.
Most independent school websites in Leeds were built once 5+ years ago by an "education-specialist" agency, sit on a US-resident WordPress host, route admissions enquiries through a US form processor (HubSpot or Typeform typical), email parents via Mailchimp, and load Google Analytics + Facebook Pixel on every page including those displaying pupil-identifying content. The school is the data controller; the exposure compounds quietly.
A Leeds independent school doesn't just need to be found when parents search "independent school Leeds LS6" or "SEN provider near Roundhay" — it needs the data-residency posture to hold up under KCSIE scrutiny + the DSL contact pattern + the parent who asks awkward questions before the next open day. UK Web Marketing builds for both: found by Leeds parents + the EU-sovereign sub-processor posture the KCSIE spirit asks for.
The KCSIE pillar article walks the four failure modes + a day-by-day fix. This page is the Leeds-specific shape of that work.
What I build for Leeds schools
Parent-first information architecture. Safeguarding-aware copy.
Compliant enquiry + open-day booking forms
Minimum data capture (name + email + child year group), explicit consent + retention period, named DPO. Encrypted in transit to EU-resident inboxes via Cloudflare Email Routing + Resend EU.
Safeguarding-aware copy
No images of identifiable children without explicit consent records. No personal stories that could de-anonymise a SEN learner. DSL contact prominent + accurate. Image-consent workflow baked into the content-update process.
WCAG 2.2 AAA accessibility
Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 apply broadly. Built to the strictest tier from day one — covers SEN access, screen-reader users, motor + cognitive impairments. Important for parents of children with additional needs.
Local SEO tuned for the LS postcodes
Title tags + meta descriptions + on-page copy + local-business schema aligned with how Leeds parents actually search ("independent school LS17", "SEN provider Roundhay", "tutoring Headingley").
Yorkshire trust signals
Built in Pudsey by a developer who knows the Leeds independent-school landscape (Grammar School at Leeds, Leeds Girls' High, Rishworth, Woodhouse Grove). WhatsApp + occasional video calls cover ongoing work. Same-day response on Bespoke engagements.
