With this in mind, schools need to be thinking about their mobile strategy, if only at this stage keeping an eye on the number of mobile visitors their site receive. When the stats start to rise above 30% it may well be time to push the button!

One such school is Rugby, which for users accessing the site via their mobile provides a tailored version of the site, beautifully refined navigation and a single column interface for content.
