Stoneworks Education produced a BOOST 3-Step Plan for us to increase our school profile in the community.
We have A3 ‘case study’ posters with QR codes on them. Once scanned, the QR codes take students and parents to the seven full story case studies on our website. We have distributed the posters around the local community in corner shops, supermarkets, libraries etc.
The studies are also repeated in the new prospectus we have from Stoneworks.
The case studies say what we couldn’t, i.e. what a student or parent really feels about our school and more importantly, what fantastic outcomes they have had i.e. going to Uni or becoming an apprentice etc.
Its such an innovative approach, to use student and parent voices to raise the profile of the school. A student or parent’s major influencer is another student or parent, so it makes a lot of sense to use these voices. The literature has proven to be very impactful.
I’d recommend that secondaries who need to raise their profile get in touch with Andrew and Stoneworks Education. They have lots of great ideas and have been around for a long time. I’d definitely recommend the Boost 3-Step Plan too.
