Marketing for Schools: Why Telling the Right Story Matters

In today’s competitive educational landscape, effective marketing for schools isn’t just about glossy brochures or slick websites—it’s about telling the right story to the right audience.

At Arthur Communications, storytelling is at the heart of what we do. We help schools, trusts, and education-focused organisations find and share the stories that truly matter—stories that resonate with parents, policymakers, teachers, and the wider public.

Why Storytelling Is Key to School Marketing Success

When it comes to marketing for schools, authenticity is everything. Audiences are far more likely to engage with a genuine, well-told story than with corporate-speak or vague mission statements. That’s where we come in.

Our team consists of former national newspaper journalists who know how to spot a good story—and how to pitch it. With a deep understanding of the education sector and a strong network of media contacts, we ensure your story lands where it will make the most impact.

Our clients have appeared in:

  • Schools Week
  • TES (Times Educational Supplement)
  • The GuardianThe Telegraph, and The Times
  • BBC Radio 4 and Channel 4 News

This isn’t just PR—it’s strategic storytelling designed to elevate your school’s reputation, attract prospective families, and engage key stakeholders.
