Your prospectus is one of your most valuable tools. It must provide sufficient information to convey an insight into your ethos and culture.

It should both engage and excite the prospective parent to encourage a visit to the school.

a compass for life

A school’s most valuable asset is its brand. It is this brand that sets the school apart. The brand is the school’s signature - unique, distinctive and reflective of personality, character and culture. We can analyse your brand and if necessary evolve it, or develop a completely new look that will deliver results for your school.

Whether you need an arts programme, fundraising literature or any piece of support material, we are continually searching to explore new design formats, finishes and techniques that make you stand out, and return value for money.

The complete service We can produce anything you need to make your school marketing a success. If we can’t produce it in-house, we work with trusted partners who can. We’re always honest and transparent about who does what to give you total peace of mind that your projects will run smoothly.

The way we work is simple - you can use us as much or as little as you like.

You may feel your communications need a major overhaul - that’s no problem. We can advise you at a strategic level, and create a bespoke marketing plan for you that is designed to deliver results.

Conversely, you may just have a small one-off project such as an exhibition stand or mailer that you need to do.

The great thing is that you still get the same level of expertise from The Agency and the care and commitment on each project large or small, that you will come to expect when you work with us.

We also understand the sensitivities of involving and engaging both internal and external stakeholders in any project. We are not precious in any way. We listen, take note and incorporate ideas throughout the whole development process from concept to completion.

Stunning photography that captures any school moment from sport through to studious learning is crucial to the success of any communication. We work with the best photographers in the business who have the passion and ability to produce imagery that stops the viewer in their tracks.

Your website is now at the heart of the way you communicate to parents, pupils and the wider community. It is an invaluable tool and can be utilised for all aspects of school life from news and events through to homework. We have the expertise to ensure that your site not only looks good, but has all the functionality that you need.

The final job is what counts when it comes to your projects.

From a simple newsletter to a prospectus with an array of finishes, we have the expertise to handle it in-house ensuring that your job arrives on time and on budget.
