The Sycamore Church of England Trust & Schools Website

Solution

Although the trust wanted all the school websites to have synergy they also wanted to ensure each retained their individual identities. Therefore Trigger approached the website designs with an inclusive family direction to create this desired synergy. Certain bespoke design elements are carried throughout each school website. An instance of this is the header area where the impactful leaf design and layout remains consistent across each site. In addition, the simplicity of the leaf design allowed the addition of a new school to be seamless, with only the key colour changing.

The school identities are central to each individual new website. One way in which this is achieved is by using the school’s key colours to emphasise the differentiation of each. In addition, another way is the use of their new logos which Trigger designed as part of the rebrand project. The logo for each school is unique, but includes the The Sycamore Trust ‘halo’ above each to bring it into the same family of logos. In fact, the logos appear three times on each website page. First in the header, second as a key design element within the page background, and finally in the footer. As a result, the recurrence of the logos further strengthens the school’s identities and individuality.
