This multi-image block component lets you add multiple images directly to your website page without creating an album or gallery. It allows you to showcase images in various grids or as a slideshow, with or without a title.
Inserting the component
Follow these steps to add a multi-image block to a page in your website:
- Select Components from the Edit tab:

Best practices
-
Use the table below as a quick guide when selecting images.
Lower risk Higher risk Group activity shots Individual portraits Distance or wide-angle photos Close-up facial images Images without uniform or name badges Identifiable uniform or name badges visible Action shots showing hands or movement Static, posed photos - Use low-resolution images where you can. Low-resolution images are harder to manipulate.
- When adding ALT text to images, describe the activity rather than naming individual children, for example, Year 4 science experiment. Ensure that you do not disclose any information, for example, a pupil or staff member's name that makes them easily identifiable.
- Review the guidance provided at Protecting your setting’s images from AI manipulation and abuse (UK Safer Internet Centre).
- Try not to use images of pupils on their own, or where pupils are clearly identifiable. It is better to use group, activity, or alternative angle photographs where possible.
- Ensure there is no meta data attached to your image file (for example, EXIF data) that may reveal location, device details or timestamps.
- When using ALT text or labels, ensure that you do not disclose any information, for example, a pupil or staff member's name that makes them easily identifiable.
