Meet the Exhibitor: SchoolHire
The Schools' Enterprise Association Sports and Leisure Conference and Exhibition 2025
Pitch perfect plus: Adding value to your sporting assets
Friday 21st November
Repton School
SchoolHire work with over 1,000 schools nationwide, including SEA members such as Mill Hill School and Warwick School, providing an online lettings platform, which allows schools to manage facility hire in-house, in a much more effective and efficient way.
Hirers can see pictures, features and live availability of the school’s facilities, answer questions set by schools (including uploading required documents), agree to the school’s terms and conditions and ultimately book and pay for the facility of their choosing either as a one-off or block booking. Schools can review and approve bookings, making any required amendments.
Schools benefit from being able to access features such as a dashboard, calendar, as well as numerous reports, to allow them to stay on top of lettings and massively reduce the amount of admin involved.
We also have a track record increasing revenue, helped by the fact that our schools always come top of Google for searches that relate to their facilities.
