School Marketing Survey 2009
The mtmconsulting School Marketing Survey is a comprehensive overview of independent schools’ marketing practices and provision.
Undertaken in March 2009, the survey was carried out across 200 UK independent schools. The survey report was formed on responses from a broad range of sizes and types of schools that represent a cross-section of the UK independent schools sector. The results give a valuable snapshot of the state of independent school marketing at this critical stage for all schools, with the effects of a deep recession being felt.

Independent Schools: The Missing Million 2008
Why do more than a million well-off families not choose independent schools for their children, when they could comfortably afford to do so and when there appear to be compelling arguments in favour of it?
The mtmconsulting Missing Million provides the answers.
mtmconsulting / HTC School Fees Payment Survey 2007
The first-ever survey of how parents pay independent school fees, shows that three-quarters of them have to reduce their spending in other areas to do so and that one family in six spends more than 40% of household income on school fees.
The survey, of 900 parents currently paying independent school fees, discloses for the first time the extent of the inroads that the payment of school fees makes into family budgets. More than four out of five of the parents surveyed spend up to 40% of their net income on school fees; 16% of them devote more than 40% to paying for their children’s education.
