Challenge
Before implementing School Jotter, Woodley School and College faced several challenges that affected effective communication and collaboration within the school community. These challenges included:

Inadequate Collaboration: The lack of efficient channels for collaboration and sharing resources restricted opportunities for staff to work together, hindering the exchange of ideas and best practices.
Accessibility: Ensuring that information and resources were easily accessible to parents, staff, and students was a significant challenge, given the diverse needs and abilities of the school’s population.

To address these challenges and foster a more connected and engaged school community, Woodley School and College implemented School Jotter. The platform offered a range of features and functionalities tailored to meet the specific needs of the school. These included:

Collaborative Workspace: School Jotter facilitated collaboration among staff members through features such as shared calendars, document sharing, and discussion forums. This encouraged the exchange of ideas and resources, enhancing teamwork and professional development.
Customisation and Accessibility: School Jotter allowed the school to customise the website and its content to ensure accessibility for all users, including those with diverse needs and abilities. The platform offered features such as text-to-speech functionality and adjustable font sizes, making information more accessible to all.
