Choosing a School Resource Pack 2012
A parents guide from isbi schools
helping parents find schools
Why should schools choose this service?
isbi schools is dedicated to helping special, boarding and independent schools find more pupils by offering the best possible information and advice to parent looking for schools.
Our Choosing a School Resource Pack service is specially designed to offer parents in the armed forces across the UK and abroad and parents relocating to the UK, tailored advice on choosing a school. Participating schools have the opportunity to include their prospectuses and promotional material within the pack, offering parents the chance to view detailed information about their school.
The pack is sent to 300 locations across the United Kingdom and worldwide. Locations include:
- HM armed forces including:
- Army Education Centres
- HIVEs of all three services
- RAF stations
- Royal Navy and Royal Marines bases
- Joint HQs and defence liaison teams overseas
- Relocation companies across the United Kingdom
What can schools include in the Choosing a School Resource Pack?
We can include almost any sizes or shape of publicity material including most sizes of prospectus. Past items have included:
- Prospectuses, leaflets, posters, newsletters, school magazines, postcards and Open Day invitations
- DVDs, mini-dvds on cards, in prospectuses, in card or plastic wallets, or in ‘action packs’
- A2 and A3 posters folded down to A4
- A4, A5, A6, DL, oblong, and square prospectuses (not yet a round one, but it would certainly stand out!)
