Setting Up Staff Contact Forms

Staff contact forms work by giving each contact target — a named member of staff or a department — a unique form endpoint URL. Your website developer uses that URL to wire up a web form on your school site. Once connected, submitted messages are routed securely through Clever School with spam protection applied automatically. To configure contact forms:
  1. Create contact targets — named staff members or departments you want to be reachable via the website.
  2. Set the office copy email address so that every incoming message is also forwarded to the office.
  3. Copy the form endpoint URL for each contact target from the module settings and share it with your web developer so they can embed the form on your site.

Setting Up Word of the Week

The Word of the Week feature provides two feed URLs — a current-word feed and an optional archive feed for previous words. Your website developer points the relevant pages on your school site to these URLs, and the content updates automatically each week. To configure Word of the Week:
  1. Add entries for the academic year — for each week, enter the word, its meaning, an example sentence, and translations into one or two languages.
  2. Copy the current word feed URL from the module settings and share it with your web developer for the main Word of the Week page.
  3. If you want an archive page, share the previous words feed URL with your developer as well.
Prepare Word of the Week entries for the whole academic year at the start of term — it only takes one session to set up and then updates automatically every week.
