A public site and secure operations portal for a specialist alternative provision organisation.
OpenGate Education
The brief
OpenGate Education is a specialist alternative provision organisation. It needed two things that rarely sit together well: a public site that explains the provision to schools, local authorities and parents, and a secure operations portal for the daily work of running it.
The work
The public site is the calm half: what the provision is, who it serves and how referrals work.
The portal is the engineered half. Six user types get role-based access to the records they need and nothing more: safeguarding logs, staff compliance tracking and secure document storage, protected by row-level security in Supabase. An automated suite of more than 350 checks runs against the portal, because in safeguarding software a regression is not a bug, it is a risk. The whole system is built in Next.js and TypeScript, with Resend carrying transactional email.
