If you're worried about your Reception numbers dropping this year, you're not alone - but hoping they'll bounce back won't fix it.

This isn't a blip. The trend is heading one way.

If your September 2026 numbers are looking lower than you hoped — even by just a few — you're probably feeling the pressure.

Because you know what this means:

Budget conversations get harder
Staffing decisions get trickier
Governors start asking questions

And next year's intake suddenly feels like it matters even more

ARE YOU UNDER PAN - LIKE CHRIS AT HOLLINGWOOD PRIMARY WAS?

THE PROBLEM IS...

Birth rates are falling nationally, competition between schools is rising, and the leaders that wait for things to "pick up naturally" are the ones that fall further behind.

What you need is a clear path to stop the decline and start growing your admissions again.

WHY LEARN FROM ME?

I'm Chris Norfield, and I help primary schools install a simple, repeatable admissions system that increases first-choice applications.

I've worked with schools across the UK — from single-form entry to larger primaries — helping them go from "worried about numbers" to "confident we're doing the right things."

I know you don't have time for complex, time-consuming marketing plans.

I focus on a few key actions designed to get more families through the door without adding significantly to your team's workload.

My approach gives school leaders a proven framework that is quick and simple to implement even if you have no marketing experience.

When you learn from me, you're not getting theory - you're getting strategies that have helped a real school overcome its biggest challenges.

This Is For You If:

✔️ You're tired of seeing half-empty classrooms and worrying about budget cuts

✔️ You're struggling to secure a strong Reception intake and feel overwhelmed by marketing

✔️ You're looking for a simple, repeatable system to get more families through your door so you can showcase what makes your school special
