Schudio vs e4education

A Better Deal for Your School Website

Looking for a Change from e4education?

If you’re comparing Schudio vs e4education, you’re not alone. Many schools across the UK — from primary to secondary — are reconsidering their current provider as they plan their next school website. e4education has long been known for its work in the education sector. But now part of Juniper Education (alongside PrimarySite), the service has changed. What used to be a great experience is now harder to manage for many schools.

We’ve heard from staff, teachers, and leadership teams who’ve had to wait longer for help, pay more for simple changes, or navigate a CMS that feels outdated. If you’re in the same position, it may be time to check your options.

At Schudio, we offer a modern, easy-to-use CMS, stunning bespoke or flexible design options, and full support — with everything included in your annual cost.

Let’s break down what makes Schudio the trusted choice for hundreds of schools.

What Makes Schudio the Better Deal?

Flat-Rate Pricing

The price you see is the price you pay. Every school receives the same level of support, training, and features — without hidden costs. There’s no need to sign up for extras or bolt-ons just to get what you need.

A Complete Rebuild Every 3 Years

Many providers require schools to pay again for a full redesign — often just three or four years after the initial launch. With Schudio, a full rebuild is included at no extra cost in year 3. That means your website stays fresh, accessible, and aligned with your school’s mission.

Unlimited Support — from Real People

Support is always included. You can pick up the phone, send an email, book a screen share, or attend a live training — without worrying about extra charges. If your staff need help embedding a form, updating class pages, or adjusting menus, we’ll guide them through it in minutes.

A Simple CMS That Anyone Can Use

From uploading homework to updating news pages, our CMS is built for busy school staff. No technical expertise is required. Admins, teachers, and office teams can all manage content confidently and securely.

Built for Schools, Staff, and Families

Your school website should serve everyone — students, teachers, carers, and parents. Schudio websites make it easy for families to find key information, contact staff, view term dates, and celebrate what children achieve in school.

You can share key dates, school meals, newsletters, class photos, and achievements — all with a few clicks.

Better for MATs and Trusts

If you’re part of a Multi-Academy Trust, you need more than a standalone website. Our centralised MAT Portal gives you control over all your school websites — sharing policy updates, design standards, and compliance checks across the group. It’s a game-changer for trust-level teams.

Real Schools. Real Reviews.

We’re proud to work with hundreds of schools who’ve moved from providers like e4education. Here’s what they say:
