Schudio vs Greenhouse School Websites
Choosing the Right Partner for Your School
If you’re comparing providers, Schudio vs Greenhouse School Websites is one of the most common searches made by schools and trusts exploring their options. Both companies are known for clean design and modern features, but there are key differences in how they price, support, and empower schools to manage their websites and stay compliant.
This guide sets out the main comparison points to help you make an informed choice.
Designed for Schools, Built with Confidence
At Schudio, we believe every school should have the tools they need to create a beautiful, compliant, and easy-to-update website without paying extra for basic features.
Our platform is built specifically for schools, with feedback from educators, office staff, and leaders. Whether you’re preparing a new project, refreshing your class pages, or improving how your resources are displayed, you can do it all in one place.
We give you full access from day one, and our team is on hand to support you whenever you need help.
Greenhouse also offers bespoke and pre-designed sites, and we have a lot of respect for their design team. But many schools who switch tell us they were surprised by the number of additional charges and the limits of the included support.

Supporting the Whole School Community
A school website is not just about publishing the latest newsletter. It’s where parents, carers, students, and visitors go to find the information they need. It’s where you share the best of your school community, from activities and events to curriculum details and key dates.
Schudio sites are designed to make that easier for everyone involved. Whether it’s a parent looking to book a visit, a teacher updating their class page, or a pupil learning to embed a video on their topic page, our CMS is easy to use and flexible.
Built for Education, Not Adapted From Business
We don’t adapt business tools to work for schools. Our platform was designed from scratch to meet the needs of UK schools and trusts. That means it works the way you expect it to.
We make it simple to:
- Create and organise content
- Add and update resources
- Display school policies in clear categories
- Link to your learning platforms
- Update news and events in minutes
- Embed projects and showcase students’ work
And you can do all this without waiting for someone else to make the changes for you.

With Schudio, there are no hidden fees for visual features. You get:
All included. No quotes. No extra invoices.
We make it easy to keep your website looking fresh and inviting, so your school can focus on what matters: education, inclusion, and the development of your children.
For Multi-Academy Trusts: Full Control Across Sites
