Ok, serious question.

I'm starting a Forest School for slightly older children in Bath, and have been very blessed with interest during term time with schools, and am thinking about making the jump to running FS full time.... obviously this means I need to do sessions during the holidays. So I have a few sessions planned for this half term and then summer.... but how do I effectively advertise to local parents with 9-12 year olds?

I'm thinking posters & flyers but not sure where to put the posters. It doesn't help that I'm not friends with many people with secondary age children to ask them!

Local Facebook sites
Children's Centres (I know they are aimed at U5s, but a lot of family information is around and gets passed on)
Libraries
Supermarkets' noticeboards
Local Paper, if you still have one
Local Authority might have a 'What's on for kids this Summer' page
Ask your local Youth Groups to circulate via their media (So the County Scouts and Guides HQ, the BB and GB, St Johns, etc.)
Noticeboard at your local Youth developemtn Football / Rugby / Cricket Club
Notice on the board of local church hall / Scout hut / Parish hall / Community rooms - where parents are loitering, waiting to pick up one child from an activity and it might catch their eye
Local Churches, mosques, gudwaras, synagogues, etc - might have Sunday/Saturday School or Youth Clubs to cascade to

Go through schools. Our school is regularly sending us info about holiday activities or local events.
