(ALMOST) PAPERLESS PROSPECTUS
A prospectus that stays accurate and relevant without draining staff time or budget
Most school prospectuses don’t fall short because they’re badly designed.
They fall short because schools change.
Staff move on.
Policies evolve.
Messages shift.
And yet the prospectus is often expected to stay “right” for an entire year.
The (Almost) Paperless Prospectus is a more practical approach - combining a clear digital prospectus with a simple, well-designed printed one-sheet that parents can take away from open events and school tours.
AVAILABLE NOW
What is an
(Almost) Paperless Prospectus?
It’s a two-part prospectus system, designed to work in the real world.
1. A Digital-First Prospectus
Hosted on your school’s own website, not a third-party platform.
This allows you to:
-
keep information accurate
-
reflect day-to-day school life
-
update content when it changes
-
drive traffic to the place parents already trust - your website
Video plays an important role here, helping parents get a feel for the school in a way print never can.
2. A printed one-sheet (integral to the product)
Every (Almost) Paperless Prospectus includes a double-sided A4 one-sheet.
This is not an extra. It’s a core part of the approach.
The one-sheet includes:
-
key information parents want to remember
-
clear, concise messaging
-
a QR code linking directly to the prospectus video on your website
It’s designed to be:
-
handed out at open evenings
-
given to families on school tours
-
taken home and shared
Parents leave with something tangible - but instead of a bulky booklet, they’re guided back to the most accurate, up-to-date version of your prospectus online.
Why schools are choosing this approach
Printed prospectuses often struggle because:
-
they date quickly
-
they’re expensive to update
-
they duplicate information already online
-
they don’t reflect day-to-day school life
The (Almost) Paperless Prospectus keeps print where it’s useful and moves everything else to where it can be kept current.
That means:
-
less waste
-
clearer information
-
fewer compromises
-
less pressure on staff
What's Included
Each (Almost) Paperless Prospectus includes:
​
-
a professionally structured digital prospectus
-
video hosted on your school website
-
a carefully designed printed one-sheet
-
content written in clear, parent-friendly language
-
an approach that works across open events, tours and online research
Nothing gimmicky. Nothing disposable. Just something that works.
Who this works best for
This approach is particularly well suited to:
-
Primary Schools
-
Secondary Schools
-
Multi-Academy Trusts
-
Schools reviewing their admissions communications
-
Schools frustrated by outdated prospectuses
-
Schools that want parents to leave with something - without creating waste
A sensible next step
This isn’t about abandoning print.
​
It’s about using print properly, and letting digital do the heavy lifting.
