Create school newsletters that parents will actually read.
Replace PDFs with a modern, accessible, mobile-friendly school newsletter that helps parents find what matters fast.
Made for schools
Better newsletters fast, without the faff.
Quick to put together
No fiddly templates, no design software and no rebuilding the whole thing every time. Ecko handles the layout so you can concentrate on the content.
Easy to pick up
Writing stories is a piece of cake! The editor feels familiar from the start, making it simple to write updates. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can use Ecko.
Re-use content easily
Stories can be easily reused across newsletter editions, with flexible inclusion rules that help regular notices and reminders stay visible for as long as they need to.
Works with the systems you already use
Ecko is not here to replace your wider comms setup. It gives schools an easier way to publish and share newsletters them through the channels they already rely on.
Sensibly priced
Ecko is a focused tool that does one job well, making it a practical option for schools that want something better than PDFs without taking on a huge new system.
Readership statistics keep you informed
Ecko provides easy-to-understand anonymised statistics about how many people are reading and interacting with your newsletters.
Ditch the PDF
Create school newsletters that are a joy to read.
Calendar integration helps parents keep organised
With Ecko, you can let parents add school events, term dates, inset days, deadlines and reminders to their own calendar with a couple of taps. No extra apps do download or passwords to remember!
Avoid information overload and comms fatigue
Year group filters and dismissible stories allow readers to hide sections of the newsletter that don’t apply to their children, keeping your newsletters feeling relevant and valuable.
No app. No download. No account.
Parents can open newsletters instantly in their browser using a normal link. That means fewer barriers, fewer missed updates and a smoother experience from the first tap.
Fully accessible
Ecko newsletters meet or exceed all WCAG 2.2 accessibility requirements, meaning every parent can keep up-to-date with the latest news and your school can ensure compliance public sector accessibility regulations.
Automatic pixel perfect responsive design
Whether it’s being enjoyed on a phone, tablet or laptop, your school newsletter will look great. No more awkward pinching and zooming around PDFs!
Share rich content
Make your newsletters more engaging with rich content like video, images, galleries and documents and even games. Help parents feel more connected with school life and encourage sharing and inter-parent discussions.
We’re really pleased with Ecko. It’s clear, easy to navigate, and has made it much simpler for parents to find important information quickly. It’s a big improvement and has made communication between the school and families much more efficient.
