Branding

Personalising OurSchoolsApp with your school's own branding is vitally important. Parents will identify with your school colours and logo, and it is an instant visual confirmation that they are in the right place when searching to download the app - which is important for building trust.

You may wish to add tiles for each class or year group, and personalise these even further.
