Primary schools use their "Our Community" web page to demonstrate their local roots, build parental engagement, and show how the school interacts with the wider world. [1]

While statutory pages focus on curriculum and policies, the community page functions as the social hub of the website. [2, 3, 4]

Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Hub

The PTA (often called Friends of the School) is usually the cornerstone of this page.

• Committee introductions: Photos and names of the parent volunteers to make them approachable.
• Fundraising goals: Visual trackers showing what the school is currently raising money for (e.g., a new library bus or playground equipment).
• Meeting minutes: Easy download links to past meetings and notices for upcoming AGMs.
• Volunteer sign-ups: Quick forms or contact links for parents to help out at school discos, summer fairs, or uniform sales.

Local Wrap-Around Care & Activities

Schools use this space to signpost external services that support busy families. [5]

• Before/After school clubs: Links and booking details for third-party providers operating on or near the school site.
• Holiday camps: Information on local multi-sports, drama, or coding camps running during half-terms.
• Local youth groups: Contact details for nearby Scout groups, Girlguiding packs, or community football teams.

Community Partnerships & Charity Work

This section highlights how the school gives back to the local neighborhood. [1]

• Intergenerational projects: Write-ups and photos of pupils visiting local care homes or community gardens.
• Food bank collections: Details on ongoing partnerships with local food banks or winter coat drives.
• Charity milestones: Tallies of money raised for national initiatives (like Children in Need or Comic Relief) and local charities.

Facility Hire & Local Business Links

Many primary schools leverage their assets to support the community and generate extra income.

• Lettings information: Details on how local groups can hire the school hall, fields, or MUGA (multi-use games area) in the evenings and weekends.
• Adult education: Signposting to evening classes, English as an Additional Language (EAL) groups, or parenting workshops hosted at the school.
• Local business directory: A small log of local businesses or childminders vetted or recommended by the school community.

Live Social Media Feeds

Rather than manually uploading content every day, schools often host an embedded "Social Wall" here. [6, 7, 8]

• Live feeds: An aggregated widget pulling recent posts directly from the school’s Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter) accounts.
• Daily life snippets: Gives prospective parents an authentic look at school trips, assemblies, and classroom activities without cluttering the main navigation. [1, 7, 9
