Teaching Schools Council
Consultancy and WordPress Migration for National Education Body
Client: Teaching Schools Council
The Teaching Schools Council (TSC) is a national body representing all Teaching Schools in England. With 20 elected members, it plays a central role in directing and shaping the work of schools across the country. Given the scope of its influence and the number of stakeholders it serves, the Council required a reliable, scalable, and easy-to-manage digital platform.
When TSC first approached Make Do, their website was running on a legacy system that was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
The organisation had decided to migrate to WordPress but needed expert guidance to make the transition smooth and ensure that the platform would meet their long-term needs. Working in collaboration with TSC’s internal IT department, we delivered a consultancy-led project lasting around 6–8 weeks.
Migration & Consultancy
Our role included managing the technical migration, developing custom systems tailored to TSC’s publishing needs, and putting in place clear workflows that would allow the team to create, update, and manage content with confidence.
From the start, we also established a support and maintenance framework, ensuring that TSC could begin using WordPress efficiently while knowing they had a trusted partner to fall back on.
Building a functional, user-friendly WordPress website
Equally important was the onboarding process. Many of TSC’s staff were using WordPress for the first time, so we provided hands-on training and documentation to help them quickly get up to speed.
By the end of the engagement, TSC had a functional, user-friendly WordPress website supported by processes and systems designed for the long term.
This project demonstrated how even a relatively short consultancy-led engagement can make a lasting impact.
By laying strong foundations and providing expert guidance, we helped the Teaching Schools Council transition to WordPress with confidence, ensuring their platform could continue to support their work across the education sector.
