24:17

Summary In this episode, AMCIS podcast host Simon Jones discuss The Confidence Index, which gauges the confidence of marketing and admissions staff in independent schools, with Emily Hargest and Victoria Deadman Gatt. They explore the challenges faced by these professionals, including budget cuts, staff turnover, and the importance of having the right fit in recruitment. The conversation emphasises the need for schools to recognize the value of marketing as a revenue enabler and the role of teachers in promoting the school. They also touch on the importance of maximizing marketing budgets and the evolving landscape of marketing in education. Takeaways The Confidence Index measures the confidence of marketing and admissions staff. Budget cuts are impacting marketing efforts in schools. Staff turnover is a significant issue in the education sector. Recruiting the right fit for school roles is crucial. Marketing should be viewed as a revenue enabler, not a cost centre. Teachers play a vital role in the school's marketing efforts. There is a need for better representation of marketing in school leadership. Understanding market value from parents' perspectives is essential. Schools must adapt to changing perceptions of independent education. Technology is democratising marketing, making it accessible for all schools.

We speak with a wide range of delegates, speakers, exhibitors, and school leaders, capturing the energy, ideas, and challenges currently shaping the sector. The conversations offer insights into everything from the role of AI in school marketing to the challenges of international recruitment, the impact of birth rates, and the importance of culture and ethos in parent decision-making. The episode also celebrates the AMCIS IMPACT Awards, the retirement of AMCIS CEO Tory Gillingham, and includes a preview of keynote speeches and workshop highlights. From warm reunions and light-hearted banter to reflections on the future of independent education, this episode gives a comprehensive snapshot of a dynamic and fast-evolving sector. Takeaways AI and automation are hot topics, with schools exploring how tools like ChatGPT and SEO-enhancing AI can ease workloads, streamline marketing, and improve prospective parent experience—though most admit they’re still learning. Simon Blake (Ipswich) highlights the importance of collaboration over competition, especially during economically challenging times. Jack from Felsted and others call for more time and team capacity, emphasising the pressure on small marketing departments. Kate Ross (Wishford) shares how the group is appointing an “AI czar” to explore AI’s potential in marketing and the curriculum. Dan Clark (Ubique) warns that most schools are still only scratching the surface with AI and urges a shift from minor efficiencies to deeper automation and capacity gains. David Milner (Sedbergh) speaks about the growth of international recruitment and advises schools to focus on research-driven strategy when targeting overseas markets. Melanie Sanderson (The Good Schools Guide) delivers a powerful session on what parents are really looking for: alignment of ethos, transparency, and genuine value—reinforcing the guide’s editorial integrity as a trusted voice in school reviews. Emma Hart (Halcyon) and Tom Wood (St Mary’s Hampstead) reflect on the importance of community and shared learning in small school teams, particularly when navigating AI, SEO, and changing demographics. Tory’s farewell marks the end of 21 years as CEO of AMCIS, celebrated with warmth and gratitude from members across the sector. Maria from San Anton School (Malta) adds international flavour to the conference, winning an Apple Watch and sharing her delight at discovering a network tailored to her niche role.

Welcome back to The AMCIS Podcast, brought to you by The Bonjour Agency. This is the podcast where we speak to people in the independent school sector. AMCIS is the association for admissions, marketing and communications in independent schools, I’m Simon Jones and in this episode we have two guests both coming to us from Eltham College. Now, earlier this year AMCIS ran the IMPACT awards (you’ll probably remember hearing about that) and Eltham College won the IMPACT Award for Equity, Diversity & Inclusion with something they’d done called ‘Every Name Matters’, an initiative that addressed the mispronunciation of pupils’ names – which some said made them feel undignified, insecure or inferior. I was very excited to hear about this because I have one of the easiest names in the world to get right and so I needed to understand what it’s like for others with harder to pronounce names. So if you’re like me and you have an easy-to-pronounce name, or if your name is harder to say and you have close association with this topic then this is the episode for you. Edward Funnell is the Head of Communications and Gideon Hammond is the Lead on Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage (REACH) and also a teacher of maths & physics. So come with me now as we step into Eltham College and speak to Gideon and Edward about this initiative, ‘Every Name Matters’.That’s all coming up in this episode so come with me as we speak to the Headmistress at Channing School, it’s Lindsey Hughes.

In this episode Tory shares with us what AMCIS is all about, what we can expect from the annual conference in May 2022 and we also find out about the team at head office. But then we also find out something about Tory herself. What she enjoys doing at the weekend and if wasn’t for Covid which country she would choose to visit. It wasn’t what I was expecting, that’s for sure. That’s all coming up in this episode so come with me now as we speak to AMCIS CEO, Tory Gillingham. Links www.amcis.co.uk www.thebonjouragency.com…
