“It’s a headache!” is a comment often heard from senior teachers when they think about the production of prospectuses, news magazines, handbooks, flyers and the like. They usually add that their time would be better spent teaching, developing curricula and managing the school.
At Meerkat Publications and Design, we have developed a series of organisational techniques which go a long way towards removing those pressures. We will work with you as well as for you, building on our experience as well as yours.
We begin by listening, so that we get to know you really well – and of course there is no charge for a consultation.
We find out about your needs, your budget and your ideas, and decide on what should be included and on where the emphasis should be. No two schools are the same!
Next comes a presentation with design ideas, often preceded by the sending of a pdf file. We guarantee that these will not stretch your financial limits. When all is agreed, we go ahead.
The originality of the design will reflect your school’s character, making sure that you stand out from the crowd.
We keep you in the news
We could create a news magazine in a style of your choice which would not only transform the way you are perceived by parents and the community, but which would have a profound effect on student morale.
A focus on the celebration of student achievements would be an essential component. Using our best photographs, carefully edited copy and imaginative design, we would make sure that it was highly ‘digestible’.
If you have one already, we could probably improve on it – and harness the enthusiasm of the people involved with it.
We are experts in sourcing ideas for articles, ensuring that staff are involved without eating into their precious time.

Unlike some of other agencies, we have a strong background in education, journalism and design.
Our news magazines are read from cover to cover.
We help you with your relaunch
Make sure that your school has the right brand, the right personality in the eyes of parents, staff, students and the local community. Consult with us on logos, colours, symbols, fonts, mottos – or anything else which contributes to a complete relaunch.
