School launch – building community support

When two failing secondary schools merged under a DfES Fresh Start, the new school and education authority needed to act fast to rebuild trust with parents, students and staff.

We held focus groups with key stakeholders and developed a communications strategy to see the school through its launch and first year. We devised a new logo and uniform, created special launch events and roadshows including an exhibition, newsletter and prospectus, and helped build a relationship with the local newspaper. We created a staff recruitment pack, provided advice and support for the senior management team and LEA and staged a special consultation on plans to move to a new, single site.  
  
First choice applications to join Year 7 rose from 45 to 165 in a year and high quality staff applications doubled. The school has since become an Academy.   

“We appreciate your clarity, creativity and experience. We have had very positive feedback.”
Mark Morrall, Head Teacher, The Gateway Community College
