Could your Trust’s future be impacted by declining pupil numbers?
Choosing a school is a critical time for parents - and their decision will be influenced greatly by recommendations from other parents. ReachMoreParents helps schools create great relationships with their parents, improving their reputation - and helping attract more pupils
Simple, powerful communications
Your Trust’s brand and reputation matters - and it matters to your schools and parents too
ReachMoreParents goes beyond parental communications. It provides Trusts with a unique, systematic way to measure Trust-wide communication success - and puts you in control of your brand and reputation.
We use smart technology to reach more parents, increase response rates, reduce workload and benchmark school performance, with built-in tools specifically for Trusts:
- Centralised control of school-to-parent communications
- Termly Trust-wide parent opinion surveys
- Consolidated Trust dashboard reporting parental engagement and satisfaction
- A Trust (or individual school) branded parent app
- Standardised message templates and designs
- Direct Trust-to-parent communications
And for Trust schools, it's a powerful suite of integrated tools enabling them to deliver high-quality communications that improves parental engagement - and builds stronger relationships.
The MAT CEO Framework encourages Trusts to:
‘Build meaningful and strong relationships with parents’
Unlike MIS providers we’re not a “Jack of all trades”...
We provide Trusts with tools to help their schools manage and enrich parent relationships

How would your Trust fair?
Take control of your Trust’s reputation
Delivering higher quality parental communications
Our central Trust dashboard measures and compares the performance of parental communications for each school.
By comparing results, Trusts can benchmark schools, identify strengths and weaknesses and work to build and improve the quality of communications.
Improving communication quality helps parents feel involved, engaged and satisfied – strengthening the school’s (and your Trust’s) reputation.
The MAT CEO Framework encourages Trust to:
‘Establish a distinctive brand’.

A smarter way of working
Create uniformity and reduce workload
We help Trusts establish uniformity, standardisation and consistency - whilst also reducing admin workload.
For example, policies, documents and forms can all be managed centrally and shared with Trust schools.
- Ensure all schools all are using the same documentation.
- Easily update documents and share new versions.
- Manage document version control.
Trust-level message templates can also be created and shared with schools to ensure consistent communications and eliminate local creation.
Centralised templates can be used for:
- New parent information packs.
- Standardised communications – absence reporting, school closure notices, key events and more.
- Data collection or consent forms.
- Organising trips, clubs and after-school activities.
Trusts can also centralise system user permissions and configurations so schools all work in the same way.
I’ve worked in the education sector for many years and used many different communication systems and I can honestly say this is by far the most effective and efficient one I’ve come across. Liz Bruce, Trust Lead Office Manager, Swale Academies Trust
