What we do
We support schools, multi-academy trusts, education programmes and education suppliers across the UK and internationally with impactful marketing and communications.
Whether you want to drive admissions for your early years, primary or secondary setting, grow the profile of your multi-academy trust or increase participation or sales in your education programme, product or service, we’re here to help.
We work closely with clients to understand who you are and what makes you different.
We’ll work together to identify your unique needs and create bespoke, holistic marketing programmes that blend creativity with pragmatism.
You might be looking for a one-off project or you might want some ongoing support, so we can execute plans in full or work closely with internal teams to put them in place.
Either way, we never rest until we deliver, and pride ourselves on being adaptable, results oriented and easy to work with. We always build KPIs and evaluation into everything we do so that you can monitor your return on investment and so that we can ensure our approach is having impact.

Who we reach
Annie Blackmore
Executive Head, Mayesbrook Park School Alternative Provision
The Communitas team has given us a very professional and friendly service, and produced a brilliant website. They totally understood the brief and made useful recommendations to ensure that we’d thought of everything. Our organisation now has a first-class website that has been well-received by all stakeholders. My whole team has really enjoyed working with Communitas, and the relationship is ongoing.
Charlotte Raby
Letters and Sounds Revised Programme Developer, Little Wandle
I love collaborating with Communitas. They are willing to work incredibly hard to create clever, beautifully crafted digital content for us. The Communitas design team have brought the world of Wandle to life, always ensuring we have high-quality print resources often in very short time frames. I could not imagine Little Wandle without the Communitas team. They are integral to our success.
Claire Savory
CEO, GLA Trust
We have really enjoyed working with Communitas and have learnt so much along the way… for example, I have learnt that I can’t do marketing when I thought I could! Your insights, solutions and end results are excellent, and we are excited to get using it all. Your challenges and feedback were always VERY useful and professional.
Natasha Bell
Vice Principal, Skinners’ Academy
We were impressed by the commitment Communitas showed to truly understanding and getting under the skin of our culture. As a result, the new brand positioning framework has a real authenticity to it that shines through. Everyone across our school community is invested in it and proud of the story we are now able to share with the wider community.
Chris Stark
Senior Project Manager, Lion Academy Trust
I don’t know how they do it, but they always deliver even when the deadlines are really incredibly tight! Communitas has helped us to raise awareness of our schools through the school websites, media relations, newsletters and other comms channels, including social. We see Communitas as a key strategic partner and we will continue to access guidance and support from the team as the Trust and its schools grow and thrive.
