The challenge

A private school group wanted to understand how parents shortlist and choose a school. It needed parents who were actively deciding, with a mix of income levels and current school types.

Our approach

We recruited parents in the decision window and balanced each group on income and school type.

  • Screened for parents choosing a school in the next 12 months
  • Balanced groups by income band and current school type
  • Booked central venues and managed reminders
  • Confirmed every participant on the day

The results

  • 36 parents attended across six groups
  • Every participant was actively choosing a school
  • Groups balanced by income and school type as briefed
