STRATEGIC PILLARS 3 AND 4
Strategic Pillar 4
Engagement
and
Dynamic engagement with parents, alumnae, feeder schools and partners (local and international). What does success look like? Strong and supportive relationships evident in every area which are manifested in practical engagement with the School’s strategic objectives.
Priorities • Enhance internal and external communications. • Connect Seniors more closely with one another and with pupils. • Review admissions process.
Connectivity
We will achieve this by: • Drawing up a new marketing and communications strategy and improving internal communication with a focus on being consistent and effective. • Creating an annual programme of alumnae events locally, nationally and internationally with opportunities to connect virtually and in person. • Further developing the partnership with Cressex Community School with a focus on sharing good practice, meaningful dialogue and support in action. • Expanding overseas campuses and establishing an International Committee at Wycombe Abbey UK primarily focused on teaching, learning, sharing ideas and working collaboratively. • Developing the ‘Parenting the Teenager’ series with a planned programme of events published widely and with a broad range of relevant topics and speakers. • Undertaking a review led by an external consultant to provide clear evidence on how we are viewed by parents, prospective parents and prep schools. • Collaborating with a wide range of primary and prep schools through visits, involvement in networking events and activities for prospective pupils and parents. • Reviewing our admissions process to support our desire to select pupils for Wycombe Abbey who genuinely enjoy academic challenge and stretch, will embrace the boarding environment and will flourish here.
