Vivify is a school lettings provider that offers schools a cost-free solution to hire out their facilities.
Our school partners have experienced a huge number of benefits including time saved for staff, reduction of risks associated with lettings, increased pupil recruitment, and improved community reputation.
We can support your school in two ways:
- Our Managed Service: For busy teams who want to outsource lettings, we look after the full process including marketing; hirers; operations; staffing; and more.
- Vivify Booking System Only: This option is perfect for schools that run their own lettings in-house but could do with saving more time.
