School Start Up

Starting a New School?

Starting a new school is a mammoth undertaking but a wonderfully creative and important one. The families who will entrust their child’s education to you are reliant on the school being clear about purpose, able to set and maintain high standards and provide a safe and stimulating learning environment in which to learn. We are able to offer you the 360 degree support that moves the start up team from an idea to the successful launch of the school.

Services are tailor-made according to the stage and may include, but are not limited to the following:

 Formulation and alignment of the vision, mission and school motto; clarity is the most important selling point a new school can have. We will enable you to formulate your message clearly and concisely, to raise interest and ensure you attract the families who will benefit the most from what you offer.

Locating and/or design of school premises; working with your architects, we advise on aspects of school layout and design which support and promote the type of learning and communication you aim to achieve.

Marketing, website, prospectus, use of social media and other school publications

Advice on legal and statutory requirements, including health, safety and emergency procedures & guidance.

Creation and alignment of school policies and procedures
