The web site www.schoolzone.co.uk is run and
owned by Schoolzone.co.uk Ltd.
Schoolzone was set up by a group of enthusiastic
teachers and parents in Oxford in 1997.
We could see the need for safe, differentiated
Internet material which teachers, students and
parents can access easily. So we devised
Schoolzone and, with the help of over 400 UK teachers
created the site as you now see it.
We do not sell anything to schools, are not owned or affiliated to any publishers or other companies where there might be a conflict of interest and we keep a rigorously independent approach to all that we do.
Currently Schoolzone receives over 20,000 unique users a day , making it one of the UK's
most used educational sites, as well as the biggest - we list
41,000 educational sites reviewed by teachers,
6,000 events & organisers, 35,000 schools
and colleges, 6,200 educational suppliers and
many, many thousands of educational products and
services.
We mail (courtesy of JEM)
to all schools in the UK every month, highlighting
the most useful resources we have found for particular
subjects or themes. This Schoolzone
newsletter also offers a help-line service
to teachers wanting to find out more about the
Internet in general or Schoolzone in particular.
Many teachers have told us that they have been
motivated to look at the Internet for the first
time as a result of reading the newsletter.
What do we do?
We have the largest teacher research community
in the UK and are experienced at carrying out
market research, content development, evaluation
and consultancy. We have worked with well over
120 clients, including The DCSF, BBC and RM, on
tasks such as these and we cover the spectrum
of educational resources and issues, ranging from
books, software, training and hardware to sharing
good practice and advice. We are very much a teacher-based
service and have considerable potential for working
with schools on behalf of suppliers to help improve
the quality and uptake of products. More
information for suppliers, publishers and
content developers.
As at the date of inclusion or review, all the
sites were, in our opinion, suitable for children.
However, content of any site could change at any
time and we cannot monitor the content continuously.
Please let
us know of any unsuitable material and we
will check and remove it immediately.
We do not take responsibility for the descriptions
of the sites as provided by our team of professional
reviewers, however if you disagree with any of
them, please let
us know of any specific items.
School, events and supplier details: we cannot accept
any responsibility for the descriptions which these
groups make about themselves, the performance of
their students or their products. All such groups
have free access to their data and can amend it
any way they choose. If you disagree with anything
written about any school, please take it up with
the head teacher or chair of governors for that
school, or in the case of an event or schools supplier
the relevant contact at that organisation.
