School marketing consultancy, from people who actually do this

Everything else on this site is work we do with our own hands — campaigns, websites, films, photography. Consultancy is how you hire that experience by itself: applied to your school's specific problem, whatever the size of the problem or the school.

School Marketing Consultancy — Every Size of School | School Marketing Works

For every scale of school

The smallest village primary with a handful of empty places. A one-form London school in a crowded borough. An independent prep competing on feel as much as fees. An academy trust that wants marketing done consistently across ten schools instead of ten different ways. State or independent, nursery to sixth form — the marketing problems rhyme, and we've spent since 2018 solving them.

The Marketing Health Check

The simplest way to begin. We review your school's marketing as a prospective parent experiences it — your website, your visibility in local search and social, your visit offer, and your admissions numbers in context — and give you a written report of what's working, what's leaking families, and what to fix first. Much of it you'll be able to do yourselves.

One fixed, modest price, quoted upfront. It stands alone — and if you'd like help with what it finds, everything below is available.

What schools bring us

Done with you: our signature systems, guided

Done with you

Fill Your Class Funnel · Done With You

Our complete admissions system — but your team implements it, with us guiding every step. You build the pages, the booking system, the poster and the ads (perhaps with the people who already run your website); we provide the plan for your school, the right order to do it in, checkpoints so nothing gets missed, and someone to call when the ad platform does something strange.

A term-long programme, September to the January deadline, at a fraction of the done-for-you cost — and your school finishes with the skills in-house for next year.

Done with you

Social Media & Reputation · Done With You

For schools that want a proper online presence without hiring anyone: we design your approach — what to post, how often, in whose voice, with safeguarding guardrails built in — then coach the person who'll run it, review the first months, and leave you with a rhythm that survives term-time reality.

How engagements work

No day rates, no meters running. We scope your problem, quote a fixed price before anything starts, and tell you honestly if the cheapest fix is something you can do without us — the Health Check report is often exactly that. Engagements come in three shapes: the one-off Health Check, defined projects (a problem, a plan, an end date), and ongoing advice for schools and trusts that want us on call across the year.

Tell us the problem.

Whatever it is — empty places, an invisible website, a vacancy you can't fill — we've probably seen it before.
