Stoneworks prospectuses are wholly inspiring, original and unique. It's very difficult to get a school story and atmosphere over in such a publication, but Stoneworks did it with ease. The inclusion of parent and pupil testimonials has transformed our prospectus. It's totally brilliant! No other school in our area has such a persuasive prospectus.

What a revelatory idea! To use parent and pupil stories to market and communicate to parents. It's simply brilliant! I'd never seen anything like it before. These studies will really help us to show just what makes our school so wonderful.
It can often be quite difficult to show parents the wide variety of things that happen at school, and how the school could benefit their children academically and socially, but these case studies definitely do just that. You can tell that Stoneworks Education have been doing this for a long time too. It was totally painless and they handled everything. I'd certainly recommend them to other schools!

What Andrew and his team offer is very different to any other school supplier. I'd never seen anything like it before. The impact on my staff of the parent case studies, and Andrew's totally different sort of prospectus, has been fantastic. They love it! We feel unique in the area.
"Stoneworks are very easy indeed to work with and quick to produce literature and reply to any questions. Andrew and his team also have some new, innovative and very useful ideas. We are also having a Starting School Storybook and Parent Handbook. His team really seem to understand what schools and parents need. We also need a Staff Handbook, and Andrew is working on this with me. I'd definitely recommend Stoneworks Education to other schools!Dawn Copping

I'm overjoyed with all that Stoneworks Education has done for Church Hill Infants School. Our new Prospectus and Case Studies were a great success at our induction evening with new parents. We had a fantastic response from parents who thought it captured the true essence of the school. From the first meeting with Andrew, it was clear that the company has tremendous passion about education and children. It's an amazing idea to use our parent and pupil case studies to tell our school story.
I am very proud of our school and it is lovely to hear our parents feel as proud of it too! Our school is a friendly, caring and happy school where children love to learn and the work with Stoneworks highlighted this and so much more! We can't thank Andrew and his team enough!Meera Bulsara

It's rare that you see something new and exciting in education. Stoneworks Education are both! I'd never seen what they offer before. We are very happy with the parent case study approach to marketing the school. It gives our parents and pupils a voice, and it is the parent and pupil stories that sell the school and its values. We are very proud too of our prospectus, which is unique, and extremely eye catching.
We had a very tight deadline and Andrew and his team delivered a very high quality product with a week to spare. I'd easily recommend Stoneworks Education to other schools.Martyn West

Stoneworks Education was fantastic at getting over what makes our school so different. I loved their approach of using parents and pupils stories to sell the school. It is a very powerful way of telling your whole school story.
Andrew and his team were brilliant to work with too, and nothing was ever too much. We now have literature that I'm not only proud of. Our prospectus stands out from other school literature, and marks our school out as innovative and modern. It doesn't just look great, it's also very meaningful and moving. I've never seen school literature like it before!Anita Timson

Our unique parent case studies and prospectus make us stand out from other schools nearby. By highlighting the personal testimony of parents and children, these stories definitely show what is different about our school and demonstrate what a difference a great school can make to a child

As an academy you really need to think differently about marketing. You don't want to be left behind. Using our parents and pupils experiences to market our academy was a fantastic and unique idea. These studies will not only attract new parents and pupils to the academy by highlighting very real, persuasive and positive outcomes, they will also encourage existing parents to contact the academy and get involved. Our parent and pupil studies show that we are a modern, confident and progressive academy, that is not afraid to let its parents and pupils have a voice!
I'd certainly recommend Stoneworks Education to other schools and academies. If you don't want to be left behind, meet with Andrew and let him show you a new and exciting way to market academies.Roy Hepplestone

One word that sums up Stoneworks Education is 'different'. They had the great idea of capturing our parents' positive experiences in case studies and using them to market the school. At first we were a little sceptical but they gave us the confidence to try this and then make it happen. Our literature now looks stunning. I'd recommend that other schools meet with Stoneworks to find out what they can offer and to see how they could benefit.
Andrew of Stoneworks met with our staff to develop a PR schedule. The meeting was very creative when he encouraged staff to talk about what they were proud of. From this meeting he guided us towards our best local and national news stories. He also gave support regarding press releases, and dealing with media responses. We now have an exciting PR schedule and can better plan to increase our school profile through newspapers, radio and TV.Amanda Bennett
