My children's school is currently slightly under subscribed. It usually is, as are most schools in the area. Schools are in competition for new children.
I gather, from reading many threads on here, that our circumstances are not the norm but I'd like some views from the other side of the fence as it were.
I'm a parent helper at the school, and help out at open evenings etc. It's that time of year again when people are looking at schools for their little ones, so school have bits and pieces planned in the run up to application time.
It's been a long time since I had to think like this myself and have got so familiar with the school that I've forgotten what's it's like to be a prospective parent. Given the circumstances, what would attract new people to the school? What would be off putting? Are there any obvious things that should be done with regards to promoting the school? What has impressed you or had the opposite effect when visiting a school?
