What an intuitive idea. To use our family’s stories to market the school. Rather than the school talking about itself, our families talk about how the school has benefitted their children. It’s very powerful.
I also like the fact that it isn’t a ‘one off’ approach. That there is a strategic plan behind it, and it runs for several months. That you can pause, when numbers go up, and restart if they start to go down. And that Andrew at Stoneworks is available at any time for free advice while we are running the plan. And, we get free updates to literature.
The team at Stoneworks were very easy to work with. My first meeting with Andrew, where he talked me through the 3-Step Plan, was very enlightening. It showed me that there was something that we could do to increase pupil numbers. It can be difficult to know what to do when you are faced with dwindling pupil numbers.
I’d recommend that if a school is having a problem with low pupil numbers, that they contact Andrew at Stoneworks Education to see how they can help.
