Whitgift School

The stately typography of the Whitgift logo, coupled with the slightly transparent feather floating down the page draws your attention to the bold declaration: “Transforming boys’ lives through education.” Naturally, the homepage builds on this statement. It tells a story as you scroll with beautifully-designed portraits and testimonials, interactive graphics and bold calls-to-action.

The “I am Whitgift” page could win its own award for how to apply text, silhouettes and color into a dynamic, vibrant montage showcasing a talented and diverse school community. Website visitors can dive into this testimonial section to learn more about the students, their passions and all that Whitgift offers to help them thrive and grow. 

Junior Years, Middle Years and Sixth Form each have their own respective colors, but the overall design and layout is consistent across the Whitgift website. Shown here, Junior Years has a school-specific drop down menu, image buttons and messaging. 

Whitgift's admissions landing page is a great launchpad for anyone interested in learning more. Colorful, interactive image boxes provide easy access to interior pages in the Admissions section — from upcoming open days, to fees, to how to apply. Before even stepping on campus, families can develop a deep understanding of what Whitgift offers and why they should apply.

Whitgift's campus map provides families a peak into the campus before they even arrive. It not only does a great job informing prospective families about the school facilities, it also provides current students and families with a useful map in their back pockets as they wander around the gorgeous campus.

Even the footer was given special attention! Columns maximize the space to convey critical information, calls-to-action, accreditation and useful links. Plus, the testimonial reminds every visitor just how "astonishing" Whitgift is!
