School and trust websites are what we do best at Juniper Websites. We’ve helped over 7,500 schools and 300 trusts shine online with professional, engaging websites that show each school and trust in its best light.
Whilst we’re proud of all the school and trust websites we design, we do have our favourites. We've hand-picked our top five from last month’s launches to share with you to inspire your next school website project.
https://www.stmichaels.act-academytrust.org/
This website uses a clear, straightforward menu, making it easy for users to find key information quickly and without confusion. Clean typography and effective use of white space keep the site uncluttered, giving important messages room to breathe. As a result, visitors can absorb information more easily and feel confident in the school’s professionalism.
Key areas such as latest news, calendars and upcoming events are placed front and centre, helping families stay informed and engaged.

The school website homepage is warm and welcoming, clearly showcasing the school’s core values and reflecting its ethos. The website is fully responsive across desktops, tablets and mobiles, making it easy for parents to access information on the go. Content is bright, simple and modern in its layout, with clearly defined sections that are easy to navigate.
As part of the Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust, the site includes clear links back to the trust website without detracting from the school’s own content. Clear calls to action are used throughout to guide users to key information and relevant inner pages.

Overall, the website combines a welcoming tone with well-structured content, making it easy to find the information that matters most. The homepage avoids heavy background watermarks or decorative imagery, keeping the focus on clear, useful content. This approach supports clarity, which is particularly important for a school website.
The design feels professional and trustworthy, with each section clearly separated using spacing and subtle horizontal breaks, allowing visitors to scan the page quickly without feeling overwhelmed.

The website homepage design is clean, professional and easy to navigate. The colour palette and fonts are simple and unobtrusive, making the content accessible and easy to read. The layout guides users naturally through the Trust’s purpose, values and schools, helping visitors quickly understand who the Trust is and what it stands for.
Rather than relying on heavy decorative elements, the site uses iconography alongside values and organisational sections to create visual consistency and support quick recognition, making the overall user journey smoother.

University Collegiate School (UCS) is one of six schools within Quest Trust. While the website aligns with the Trust’s wider branding and values, it also maintains a clear individual identity that reflects the school’s character and community. This balance ensures consistency across the Trust’s websites while allowing UCS to stand out in its own right.

This design is one of our premium pre-designed templates. Even though this is a templated design, the school have been able to bring their branding and identity to life through the use of colours, fonts and watermarks. The school has chosen a colour palette and watermarks that effectively represent their school and showcase its values.
The overall design is clean, modern, and easy to navigate, allowing the school to guide users to key content while highlighting areas of interest without overpowering the design.
