At my previous school we ‘owed’ around £50,000 to the local authority and our pupil numbers were well below PAN, with less than 80 on roll. Over the course of three years, we managed to increase this to over 150 pupils and this, in turn, improved both the opportunities and standards of education we were able to offer. Quite simply, it transformed o...
So how can you attract more pupils? How do you change perceptions in the community and market your school effectively? There are no right or wrong answers, but here are a few ideas…
What makes you different to other schools? Not necessarily better, but different. Work out your unique selling point and make sure your website reflects this. It might be a focus on sport, or your pupils’ access to music tuition, or your amazing variety of after-school clubs.
Create brochures or leaflets that you can give to prospective parents and staff - the more professional the better. A student created ours and we had them printed at less than £300 for 250 leaflets. Negotiate a good rate with a local printing firm for a professional finish.
Get a virtual tour done for your school. You can pay someone to do it professionally, or just use an iPad to record walking around the school and adding your own commentary. Parents like to see inside a school but don’t always have the time to come to an open day.
Get your school featured in the local papers as often as you can (see writing press release information, below). I find that writing my own article with photos and sending it to them works well. I make it as easy as possible for them to put in a good news story. Better still, find out if you have a communications or marketing professional among you...
Celebrate and advertise all the great things you do on social media and make sure you choose the right platform and ensure it is regularly updated. We use Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to make sure we appeal to different groups. Different staff members are responsible for each platform.
Review PAN in the classes where this is manageable and get your staff on-side. My staff don’t object to having one or two extra pupils in their KS2 class if it brings in more funding. This sounds controversial but schools often must take in additional pupils anyway, because of appeals.
Open your doors to visitors as often as you can. We couldn’t do this during Covid, but we found that increasing the number of opportunities for parents to attend events or open days really increased our numbers. Word soon spreads if you are holding community and family events. We tend to work with local charities such as those supporting people wit...
Spend time writing bids and grants and give a designated colleague the time to do this. You are likely to get free advertising if you are successful, and you can add the money to your budget to do things you would not otherwise be able to afford. While making money doesn’t seem to be on any job description for a headteacher it is becoming a key par...
