Being on first name terms with people who ‘get’ the school, its context, and its aspirations, are very important and Comms for Schools demonstrate a level of interest and care that appears to go well beyond a commercial relationship.
If you have one of our sites, or if you work with us to improve your existing site, it will be set up to do the job that school sites almost always neglect to do. Your site will not simply be where current parents get information, it will be where you tell your story to prospective parents.
If you don’t focus on parents of prospective pupils and students when designing and using your site, then that site is doing nothing to fill your classrooms.
Designed to serve BOTH your primary audiences – current and prospective parents.
Clear and easy to navigate. Any parent should come to your website and immediately find all the information they need.
Your digital prospectus. Your site will sell your school all year round, not just during admissions season.
Accessible on all devices. Keep in mind your audience will most likely be on the go and looking at your website on a small screen. We make sure it works for them.

Recent research by Parent Ping found that the thing parents did most often when choosing a school was to visit the website. They did this twice as often as looking at a prospectus and more often than asking people about the school or attending an open event.
Your site is where prospective parents will go to get information and get a feel for the school. And they will keep coming back to that site, especially if they are undecided about their choice of school.
Being on first name terms with people who ‘get’ the school, its context, and its aspirations, are very important and Comms for Schools demonstrate a level of interest and care that appears to go well beyond a commercial relationship.
There’s a lot of information on the website. But we appreciate you might have a question that we haven’t addressed, or you would just rather talk to a human.
So, fill in the form or give us a call.
