Why Your Kids Clubs Should Be Working With Schools

What are the benefits of a school club link?

Teaming up with schools can bring great payoffs for all involved. Not only can your kids club secure more bookings, but schools can enhance their curriculum whilst parents can enjoy convenience and enhancements to their childrens’ learning.

Increase revenue 

‍

Working with schools is a perfect market research opportunity. You can gauge interest and discover just how many more customers you can secure. If a school you are joining forces with agrees to let you hold sessions on the premises, you can reach kids outside of your club’s area. You will also get the chance to connect with a wider range of parents, who are able to travel to your kids club. 

‍

Increase the impact you have on the local community

‍

You are already giving kids fun-filled experiences, so why not take the opportunity to expand this? Links between schools and clubs give more kids the chance to enjoy what clubs like yours have to offer. If parents can put a trustworthy face to your brand, they are more likely to trust you with their kids. The credibility you can build by meeting parents and kids face to face is crucial to growing your kids club.

‍

If you can build trust with those in charge at local schools, you are more likely to work with them long-term. This can lead to an additional source of long-term income for your kids club. School figures need to buy into both you and your kids club. So sell it to them! You’ll build sustainable school-club links meaning more money for your kids club.

Why should schools team up with my club?

Organisation

Effective school-club links can take the pressure off schools by allowing clubs to run and organise sessions.  Your high quality classes can enhance the current curriculum and help schools provide pupils with specialist skills.

Access 

When clubs link with schools, it allows them to bring classes to excited children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to access them. These kids may be outside of your area and so you can now host classes after school in a more convenient location. 

‍

Resources 

Your specialist expertise can help where resources are tight or unavailable. There may be a shortage of staff or a need for more specific activities for pupils.
