Need to review all content - this is currently a working, draft document - all text, structure and layout needs refinement

• Answer	Templates are predefined layouts and styles that help you to quickly format your page, for example, accordions and image links.   Accordions are useful when you have a lot of content on a page. They help you organise your information neatly, with each section featuring its own selectable heading. When you select the heading, its content will expand to give you the information you're after. Image links are a great way to make your page more engaging, using images rather than text to highlight and link to content you'd like visitors to explore elsewhere. Follow the guides below to find out how to add accordions and image links to your website.

  The links below explain how to add and work with sub-pages on your website. These are an ideal way to categorise related information in one place without adding pages that may clutter your navigation menu. They are helpful if you want to create a series of individual subpages for classes under a main Class Pages page, or if you have a Key Information page that includes links to sub-pages such as Admissions, Policies, and School Improvement.
