Polaris is expanding its services for schools and colleges in time for the new academic year.
Polaris now represents a number of education sector clients across the region. This includes two of the most high profile new schools in Greater Manchester Oasis Academy MediaCity and Oasis Academy Oldham. We also work with Kirkby Sports College in Knowsley which has some of the best sporting facilities in Britain. And we work with Birkenhead based Maritime and Engineering College (MECNW) which also has some of the best training facilities in the country.
Building on this experience and expertise Polaris is launching a new package of support to help schools and colleges attract new pupils and students, communicate with parents and their community and build a positive relationship with the media.
Polaris director Ben Pinnington said the service is particularly aimed at free schools and academies.
“We have found the education sector to be an inspiring industry to work in. Our media campaigns aim to capture the enthusiasm, vitality and ‘can do’ attitude of the institutions we feel privileged to work with. ”
