Due to the rural aspect of the school, and a dip in the birth rate, we have a falling roll. It’s a problem that lots of schools are facing across the UK.
When I contacted Andrew at Stoneworks Education, he recommended a 3-Step Plan that they run, which increases school profile and pupil numbers. I had a virtual meeting with Andrew and could see how this innovative approach would work across our rural community.
It’s such a brilliant idea, to give parents a voice and market your school through those parent voices. It’s a bit like Tripadvisor for schools. Especially powerful when you consider that what matters most to parents is what other parents say about a school, and how their children have benefited. Each family story has a positive outcome, that reflects how the school works and how it helped that child excel in school.
I also like the fact that the literature is updated free or charge, and that you have free support while using the 3-Step Plan literature. If you have any questions, you can have a free virtual chat with Andrew.
I’d definitely recommend rural schools with a falling roll contact Stoneworks Education.
