Marketing for UK Primary Schools | School Marketing Works

Your school is brilliant.
Do local parents know?

Most half-empty schools aren't unpopular — they're invisible.

We're a small, experienced studio that makes sure local families see your school the way you do: with websites, film, photography, and an admissions system that fills classes.

Happy pupils in a school classroom setup

A small shop, on purpose

We're not an agency with account managers and a sales team. We're the people who do the work — and we've been doing it for schools for the best part of a decade, as the schools arm of an established London marketing agency. You get senior people, straight answers, and work we're happy to put our name on.

Our research

We looked at every state primary in England

Because nobody had. We matched occupancy against how many rival primaries sit within two kilometres of each school — and found two completely different problems producing the same symptom.

57%

of schools with no other primary within 2km are below 90% occupancy. Too few children locally.

32.9%

where there are six to ten neighbouring primaries. The healthiest position on the chart.

39.6%

where there are eleven or more. Not a shortage of children — a shortage of attention.

An isolated school and a crowded one both look under-filled on a spreadsheet. They need completely different answers, and telling them apart is the first thing we do.

The problem we solve

Falling rolls — our specialist subject

Fewer children are starting school each year, and nowhere is the squeeze harder than London: around 90 schools have closed or merged in five years, and every school is competing for a shrinking pool of families.

That's the scenario we've worked in since 2018. We look after two neighbouring Lambeth primaries that compete with each other for the same families — and across the best part of a decade we've kept both schools' numbers strong, with full Reception classes the norm rather than the exception.

We published exactly how we do it — every step, every ad, every number — in our case study.

Jayne Mitchell Portrait

"The success of this campaign far exceeded our expectations. We couldn't let our falling school roll problem continue, so we put our faith in the plan they devised. They exceeded our expectations and fixed our problem."

Jayne Mitchell, Executive Headteacher, Christ Church Primary SW9, Lambeth

Honest by design

We've helped many schools fix their marketing problem and fill their classes. We'll show you exactly what we've done for schools like yours, tell you straight whether we can help — and if your problem isn't one marketing can fix, we'll say so before you spend anything.

Make sure parents know.

Whether it's a website, a film, a photo library or a class that needs filling.
