Schools… Start your Engines. The new school year is about to begin.
“BackToSchool” is a huge event for everyone. It sees the return of many pupils as well as the fresh faces of new ones. It can be a daunting time for the pupils, parents and even staff. However, there are some simple but highly effective communications that can be sent out which will help to inform and advise before the big day.
Here are our top 2 tips to help produce more effective communications with those returning to school.
1.Informative newsletters for staff, parents and the wider school community
2.Social media content planned and prepared
1. Informative newsletters for staff, parents and the wider school community
By not producing a regular, well designed school newsletter, you may be missing an opportunity to engage with your key stakeholders and the wider school community. So, where do you start and how do you create a newsletter people actually want to read?
- Grab their attention!
Readers skim-read articles for information, before settling down to read more. Be sure to make your headline stand out. Creating excitement, curiosity, or an emotional response makes readers want to read more.
- Images speak a thousand words!
Use a hero image. Professionally taken photographs mixed with your own images will grab the reader’s attention and draw them into your news. Ensure good quality images are used. Blurry images are much less appealing than a high resolution, professional quality image.

7 年Rebecca Bynt interesting re mobile phone friendly newsletters ?
High School Mathematics Teacher.
7 年I surveyed parents once and the majority wanted mobile phone friendly newsletters. So out went the pdf's and in came a website that makes it so much easier to read on a phone, tablet or whatever. Haven't looked back! It also gives me a "power" of analytics that are very interesting.
