This isn't the first time I've completed training, but your offering has given me some ideas about things I can look into & raise with my HT & senior leaders. I'm always appreciative of trainers who manage to cover difficult material appropriately without making the session itself a torture, so thank you!

An exciting and engaging online session exploring how schools can improve their brand and marketing to better attract parents, students and even new staff.

The session will be hosted and run by RAW Brothers, a unique creative consultancy agency who’ve helped many education, not-for-profit and commercial organisations develop their brands and space. They are highly experienced and sympathetic to the challenges schools are facing at this time.
This session will run for approximately 1.5 hours, followed by a 30 minute in-depth Q&A.

Effective Social Media Part II offers a continuation for those wanting to further develop their use of Social Media at their schools.
Social media, and how to use it effectively, is a topic that lots of schools discuss. There are real opportunities if it is used well, but there are also many understandable concerns about the risks that are also associated with “putting yourselves out there” into the world of social media.
Note: This course forms part of our Comms Package and cannot be booked separately. To book your place on our Comms Package, please email grow@london.anglican.org with the header ‘Comms Package 2024‘.
So interesting and informative, really great to hear new information and tips & tricks, as well as have an insight into which social media apps target different age groups (children AND parents!). Full of concrete steps and advice to inspire social media use. Practical, eye-opening and useful, this is the sort of input leaders need – thank you!

I could have stayed all day! The examples and how we could use them were really thought-provoking and provided a fresh idea to approaching marketing. It was really well matched to the needs of audience, with great messaging and unpicking of what ‘brand’ means. So much useful content, especially the thoughts around ‘story’.
