CBSE schools · Social media
Post what parents want to see at the school, with consent for every child shown.
Social media marketing for a CBSE school is the planned use of Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp channels to show parents how the school runs and when admissions open. GullySales plans the posts, the permission steps and the replies, so the feed matches the school office.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For CBSE schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Parents look for the ordinary day”
A prospective parent wants to see a classroom, the lab, the bus and assembly. Event photographs alone do not answer how a normal Tuesday looks.
“Children's photographs need written consent”
A school feed full of pupils is a risk without parental permission. Consent forms and a rule on faces protect the school and keep the account usable.
“Current parents are the loudest audience”
They share posts in class groups. A feed written only for new admissions forgets the audience that carries the name around the neighbourhood.
“Posting without a calendar wastes the registration window”
If the posts about entry classes arrive after seats are filled, the feed misleads. The content calendar must follow the school's own dates.
What we do
What we deliver for CBSE schools.
The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.
A posting calendar tied to the school year
Admission notices, exam seasons, events and holidays planned in order, with a place for each date.
Result: A calendar the office can read and change.
Consent and photograph rules
A form and a short rule on which pictures may be posted and who approves them.
Result: A written rule that every teacher can follow.
Post formats for parents
Short walk-throughs of classrooms, subject choices for Class 9 and Class 11, bus routes and transfer steps.
Result: A set of post templates that match what parents ask.
Reply guide for comments and messages
Who answers, what is said in public and when the parent is moved to a call.
Result: A guide for the person who watches the account.
Platform choice for your parents
A view on which platforms your own parents use, based on the office's enquiries.
Result: A short note naming the platforms worth the effort.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Posts and pieces to plan
Posts should show an ordinary school day and always keep a child's consent on file.
- A morning at the gate and the assembly
- Photographs of the setting, with no child recognisable unless the parent's written consent is filed. Needs a nominated staff member to review.
- The Class 1 classroom, from the doorway
- A photograph of the room, with the teacher's role named. Shows a new parent where the child will sit, without showing children.
- A senior school lab or library in use
- A post on the Class 9 to 12 facilities with the subject taught. Helps families who think the school ends at primary.
- The admission steps, in order
- A short carousel of what to bring and which office to visit, matching the admissions page word for word.
- A teacher explains a subject
- A short clip with the teacher's agreement. Parents judge the school by who teaches, so the person matters more than the building.
Who it is for
This is written for these CBSE schools.
- Day schools with classes from nursery to Class 12
- CBSE schools running Class 1 to 10 only
- Schools run by a trust, society or educational group
- Private unaided CBSE schools in city suburbs
- CBSE schools attached to a residential campus
- Schools serving transferred central government, defence or corporate families
- New CBSE schools in their first affiliated years
- Schools that run exam-preparation classes in Class 11 and 12
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Parents have not signed the school's photograph consent form, so most of the day-to-day pictures could not be used.
- There is no staff member to answer comments during school hours, so a post would collect questions that sit unanswered.
Before you decide
Agree the work. Know how to judge it.
Social media marketing for CBSE schools: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.
Bring the right evidence
Review the posts that produced useful conversations, not only the ones with the most views. Gather buyer questions and decide which team member can contribute credible material.
Make the scope clear
Choose the audience and channel before setting a posting volume. Agree who supplies material, approves posts, and handles messages, including complaints or questions the agency cannot answer.
Check the work in use
Follow a post through to the profile, website, and response. A useful report explains the quality of conversations and enquiries, alongside reach and engagement.
Know when to change course
If publishing takes time away from unanswered buyer messages, fix the response routine first. Do not expand to another channel without a clear reason for being there.
These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.
How it works
How the social media work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Platform and access agreement
We confirm the audience and platforms covered, then check account ownership. You retain control of the pages and grant the access needed for the agreed work.
- 2
Content input handover
Your team supplies approved product information and usable images or footage. We review existing posts and agree who will answer factual questions during drafting.
- 3
Calendar approval
You review the proposed themes and response routes. Missing information is identified before posts enter production, rather than holding up a finished calendar.
- 4
Draft approval and publication
The named approver checks captions and creative files before scheduling. We also agree which replies can be sent directly and which need your team's decision.
- 5
Sales handover and content decisions
Buying questions go to the agreed sales contact with the conversation attached. Reported enquiries and sales feedback guide changes to the next calendar.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
