Greetings!

Welcome to our first newsletter of the Summer Term!

One of the most important things Marketing Advice for Schools does is to bring school marketers and school leaders together. So our advice articles this month draw from events we've been speaking at or running - where we know from feedback that our advice is helping you with the real issues you are facing!

  • How to streamline your school communication is a summary of my presentation at the Optimus Education conference on 'Collaboration to Support Student Attainment'.
  • Creating a new recruitment journey comes from my talk at the Schools and Academies Show.
  • A showcase of fantastic creative school photography from Andy Catterall comes from our London School Marketing Networking Event.

If you can't make face-to-face events (in particular because you're nowhere near the UK!), please use LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter to keep in touch and ask questions!

************
BOOK NOW! If you'd like to learn more from school marketing experts as well as sharing and solving your problems, our next networking event is on 21st June in Manchester. We'll announce the full agenda in a couple of weeks time but we'll definitely be taking an in-depth look at market research; exploring the dilemma of marketing a school and a chain of schools or MAT at the same time; and showcasing creative excellence. If you'd like to share your school marketing story or offer advice, please reply to this email!

The event is free with Full Membership of Marketing Advice for Schools - only £40 per year. Click here to see the other benefits and join the Network and then reply to this email to reserve your place.

Is parent communication driving you mad?
Are you sending too much home - or are parents kept in the dark?

Here are some tips that will both make your life easier and help your school achieve its goals!

Teacher recruitment is a growing problem for schools - and it's good to see more school marketers stepping in to help their schools address the problem.

This article is a summary of a presentation given at the 'Schools and Academies Show 2019'. It takes a holistic approach and challenges schools to rethink every aspect of recruitment and retention - to create the 'New Recruitment Journey'.

Great photographs are a key part of communicating any school's brand.

Andy Catterall spends a lot of his time making schools stand out from the crowd - let his showreel inspire you...
