Brief

In 2003, much-commended Bishop Thomas Grant School in London asked Meerkat Publications and Design to create a replacement for its existing newsletter. This had to focus on a celebration of the considerable achievements of the school and keep parents – and potential parents – in touch with what was happening amongst staff and students.

Solution

Soon after a meeting at which the name, the design, the projected content and the method of gathering information were agreed, Nuntius appeared – and was an immediate success, read from cover to cover by most students and receiving favourable comments from parents. The combination of imaginative photography, excellent design, interesting articles, interviews and an appropriately accessible style was an immediate winner.

Outcome

Nuntius is still the prestigious school’s news magazine, sent to all parents towards the end of each term. Meerkat Publications and Design has also produced booklets, prospectuses and other printed material for the school.
