Do I need to be a parent at an independent school to join your website?
You simply need to have an affiliation with that school – so a parent, alumni or member of staff.
How can I advertise on your website?
We’d love to hear from you, so please do email us on advertising@schoolnotices.co.uk or call 07764 942572.
How can I sign up to your email newsletters?

Schools
How can I get my school to become a Member School?
Please put them in touch with our team, who can be reached on schools@schoolnotices.co.uk
How do School Notices support my school’s fundraising?
We’re so much more than just a community; 25% of the advertising revenue from our website goes directly to support our member schools’ fundraising initiatives – whether for a new hockey pitch, theatre lights or, increasingly, bursary foundations.
Am I able to affiliate myself with more than one school?
Absolutely! You can select up to four schools – so even if you have children at different schools that’s no problem!
I can’t find my school on the list?
Please email us with the name of your missing school at schools@schoolnotices.co.uk
Why is my school shield grey when others are green?
A green shield indicates that your school is already a member and is benefitting from a share of our advertising revenue to support their fundraising. A grey shield means you still have full access to School Notices but your school is not currently signed up so they will not benefit from any fundraising. If you would like your school to join, please get in touch with our team on schools@schoolnotices.co.uk
Posting Notices
How can I see the full details of your Notices?
Simple – please just join us or sign in and enjoy!
How do I post a Notice?
Posting a Notice couldn’t be easier. First you need to be logged in, then please follow the Post a Notice and we will guide you through the process.
How can I make sure my Notice gets the most possible views?
We offer Notice upgrades where your Notice can be pinned to the top of its section, marked as urgent or have links added. View your My Notices section to upgrade your Notice.
I have already posted my Notice, but would now like to upgrade it to Premium?
Premium Notices need to be booked at the time of creating your Notice. We suggest that if you want to take advantage of this service that you delete your current Notice and re-post it as a new one remembering to click the premium option before you save and upload the Notice.
I haven’t received a reply to an enquiry I made about a Notice?
First of all, please check your spam folder. If there’s nothing there, please contact us on info@schoolnotices.co.uk and we can check if there have been any messages which you may have missed.
I’ve now sold my item – thanks! How do I go about removing the Notice?
Make sure you’re logged in and go ‘My Notices’, then select the delete icon and delete the Notice you wish to remove.

I can’t see the details for an offer code I’d like to use?
Our offers are exclusive to our members so just make sure you’re logged in to enjoy them.
When I add a photo to the site it seems to crop it out – how can I get my photo to display properly?
Photos are cropped to a square size, so we recommend that you resize your photo/flyer or give it a white border so that the image sits neatly within the square.
I’ve loaded my photos but they don’t seem to appear with the notice?
When you add your photo you need to check that the blue loading bar has completed loading and your photo appears clearly in the preview section. If it has not loaded please check it’s not over our limit of 4MB. If so, please reduce the file size and try again.
How do I re-order my images so that the one I want to be displayed with my notice is shown?
This is an easy one! Just remember to upload your lead photo first and wait for it to finish loading before you add further images. If you have already added the other images you will need to go back and edit your notice, remove the photos and re-upload with your lead photo first.
Business Club
What type of businesses can join the Business Club?
Any size business can join our Business Club but it suits the smaller, parent/alumni owned businesses best – it’s simple to set up with a one-off payment.
How much does it cost?
Our Business Club only costs £595 + VAT and gives you website and email newsletter marketing for six months.
I do not have my advertising banners ready yet, should I wait to join?
The Business Club is often oversubscribed and we have limited space within the newsletters so we recommend you join to reserve your space. The six month campaign time period will commence the day your artwork is uploaded to ensure you don’t miss out.
Can you help prepare my artwork?
If you need help preparing artwork (i.e. a banner for the website) we will happily direct you to our freelance designer. All Business Club artwork can be provided for you at a discounted rate, just contact design@schoolnotices.co.uk
What if I want to leave the Business Club?
The Business Club contract is for six months only and after that time you may choose to leave or renew your campaign.
What else does the Business Club give me?
You will have a constant presence in our online, searchable business directory as well as search responsive website advertising amongst our parent and alumni notices. You will also receive advertising in our email newsletters which go to our database of members, as well as a position in our exclusive Offers section.
What if I want to change my advertising banners or offer?
You can change your advertising artwork or offer details at any time throughout the campaign at no extra cost.
I understand that you offer a fundraising scheme for your member schools via introduced client advertising. Can you tell me how this works?
Of course! If a school directly introduces a business to us who go on to advertise, then 25% of their fee will be donated to that school. So if you would like your school to benefit just make sure that they get in touch to introduce you.
Can I upgrade my Business Club digital advert to appear in your Noticed magazine as well?
Additional advertising can always be arranged, please just email advertising@schoolnotices.co.uk to let us know what you need and we will provide a quote.
