WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

45 minutes that will change how you think
about parent comms

We’ll work through the four challenges most schools face, what the evidence says about what actually works, and give you a practical framework you can start using the next day.

01

Why most schools struggle with parent communications – and the four root causes.

Too many channels, no joined-up plan, unclear ownership, and reactive rather than proactive messaging. We’ll name each one and show you what fixing it looks like.

02

What the new Ofsted report cards require on parental engagement

The inspection framework has changed. Parental engagement is now explicitly inspected. We’ll explain exactly what inspectors will be looking for and how to evidence it.

03

How to communicate with two very different audiences — and get it right for both

Prospective and current parents want completely different things from your school. We’ll show you how to meet both without doubling your workload.

04

A one-page Communications Plan you can take back to school on Thursday

A simple, practical framework that clarifies your channels, sets expectations for staff, and gives parents a consistent experience every term.
