What Our Clients Say

  • Hornsey School for Girls

    "The team at Grebot Donnelly (GD) helped us to establish a set of key messages, and gave us a plan for consistently sharing them with all our key stakeholders using a wide variety of communications channels. GD supported the school’s central aims and visions at every stage – which immediately supported the processes and procedures within the school. GD’s approach focused not only on external profile raising, but on ensuring internal buy-in at every stage.  The creation of communication strategies had an immediate impact, as did GD’s support with planning and timeframes to keep the school’s messages and profile consistent. The team at GD also trained all senior staff and governors on how to manage responses, and tailor them to specific stakeholders and press."

    KULJIT RAHELU, HEADTEACHER

  • Parkwood Academy

Students are proud to say they go to Parkwood, parents and the local community are engaged and excited to be part of our future, and the outstanding choice in first-choice applications speaks for itself."

The training for Front of House staff and Marketing/PR group empowered our staff and governors, and improved our understanding of the importance of marketing the school in a positive way, highlighting and celebrating what makes us special. The confidence we gained through working with Grebot Donnelly was recognised by Ofsted in May 2012 (awarded ‘outstanding’)."
