Multi-Academy Trust Websites & Managed Hosting
Managing websites across a Multi-Academy Trust can quickly become complex. Each school needs a website that reflects its individual identity, while the Trust requires consistent branding, reliable governance and a straightforward way to manage content across every academy.
Globe2 provides professionally designed school and Trust websites alongside secure, fully managed hosting. We can create a consistent website framework for your entire Trust, while giving each academy the flexibility to showcase its own community, values, curriculum and achievements.

Centralised School Website Management
Managing multiple school websites individually can create unnecessary duplication, inconsistent content and additional workload for both Trust and academy teams. Our centralised approach makes it easier to maintain oversight across every website within your Multi-Academy Trust.
Websites can be built using a consistent structure, shared design standards and agreed Trust-wide content, while still allowing each school to retain its own branding, personality and local information. Central teams can manage important updates across the Trust, while individual academies can be given appropriate access to maintain their own news, events and everyday content.
This provides greater control over branding, governance and website quality, while reducing the administrative burden placed on school staff. As your Trust grows, new academy websites can also be added to the same established framework, helping to ensure a consistent and scalable approach across the organisation.
Website Solutions for Trusts
Our website solutions help Multi-Academy Trusts manage multiple school websites through a consistent, secure and scalable framework. From creating a shared Trust-wide design and providing centralised school website multi site management to delivering ongoing technical and content support, we make it easier to maintain quality, consistency and control across every academy website.
Consistent Website Template Across Your Trust
We can create a tailored website template for your Multi-Academy Trust, providing a consistent design, structure and user experience across every school website.
The template can incorporate your Trust’s branding, accessibility standards and key content requirements, helping each academy present information clearly while maintaining a professional and joined-up identity.
NEW: Policy Compliance and Management Plugin
We developed a bespoke WordPress plugin for multi-academy trusts, enabling policies to be managed centrally, synchronised across every school website and regularly reviewed to prevent outdated documents remaining online.
Website Support For Schools & MATs
Reduce the time your school technicians spend managing website updates, resolving technical issues and maintaining plugins.
Our team handles the day-to-day technical management of your school websites, freeing internal IT staff to focus on supporting pupils, teachers and essential systems.
We also provide ongoing content support to help ensure important information, policies and announcements are published promptly.
Hosting Designed Around School Requirements
School websites have different priorities from ordinary commercial websites. Information needs to be easy to access, policies must remain available and staff need confidence that important updates can be published quickly.
Our managed hosting service is designed to support common school website requirements, including:
- Statutory policy documents
- School calendars and term dates
- Admissions information
- Ofsted information
- Staff and governor pages
- News and announcements
- Emergency closure notices
- Parent resources
- Downloadable forms
- Accessibility tools
- Contact and enquiry forms
Secure Hosting for School Websites
Website security is an important part of protecting your school’s reputation and maintaining access to important information.
Our hosting environment uses multiple layers of protection to reduce the risk of website compromise. This includes server security, website firewall controls, malware scanning, software updates and monitored backups.
Where appropriate, we can also help your school improve:
- Administrator account security
- Multi-factor authentication
- Password management
- User access permissions
- Contact-form protection
- Spam prevention
- DNS security
- Cloudflare protection
No website can be made completely immune from attack, but regular maintenance and active security management significantly reduce avoidable risks.
