What we produce

• Prospectuses: main school, prep and junior, sixth form, and international editions, plus open day and admissions materials.
• School magazines and yearbooks: annual magazines, termly newsletters and alumni publications.
• Digital editions: interactive versions of any printed publication, with page turning and embedded video, ready to share by email or on your website.

Why schools work with us

• Experience: Datum has been designing and printing since 1988, and some of our school relationships go back more than ten years.
• One point of contact: design, print, digital and distribution are managed by one team, so you’re not coordinating several suppliers.
• Certified standards: we’re certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for our print, web design and print management services.
• We work to the school year: we plan around open days, admissions deadlines and term dates, not the other way round.

How a project works

1. Brief. We meet to agree your audience, page count, timings and budget.
2. Plan. We map the flow of the publication so the key messages and features land in the right places.
3. Design. Our studio creates the layouts, working with your photography and copy, and we can help source images and shape the text.
4. Proof and approve. You review each stage, with clear rounds of amendments.
5. Print, publish and deliver. We manage print production and the digital edition, and we can mail copies directly to families.

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead should we start a new prospectus?
It depends on page count and how much content is ready. For a September open day, we recommend starting in the spring term, so there’s time for photography, copy and approvals.

Can you produce a digital version as well as print?
Yes. We create interactive digital editions alongside the printed copy, with page turning and embedded video.

Can you work with our existing photography?
Yes. We regularly design with a school’s own images, and we can help source additional photography where it’s needed.

Can you send the magazine or prospectus to families for us?
Yes. We can manage mailing directly to parents, alumni and prospective families.

How much does a prospectus or magazine cost?
Costs depend on page count, quantity, paper and finish. Once we’ve had a short brief, we’ll send a clear quote.
