This must be a pretty common problem - most schools, I imagine, want
roughly the same bits and pieces on their site. Does there not already
exist a plug-and-play school website where, as Wordpress is for blogs,
they can just install it and get a quite agreeable website in about
fifteen minutes?

Perhaps a drupal module or something is a better place to do it?

Either way I'd rather see concerted effort to solve what is apparently
an endemic problem than individuals individually patching its symptoms.
