School Use Case
Advancement-as-a-Service (AaaS)
Client Overview
A primary school is seeking to strengthen delivery across its advancement programme while remaining highly conscious of budget and internal capacity. The school has internal leadership in place but does not want to build or carry the cost of a full advancement support team.
Challenge
The school required practical, ongoing support across multiple advancement activities but faced several constraints:
Insufficient internal capacity to manage data, digital platforms, events, and communications in parallel.
Budget limitations that made recruiting additional permanent staff impractical.
A desire to avoid short-term advisory or consultancy engagements that produced recommendations without delivery.
A need for visible, hands-on progress that could be clearly linked to value delivered.
The school wanted action and continuity - not reports or one-off projects.
Our Approach
Wycane would provide Advancement-as-a-Service, operating as an extension of the school’s advancement function on a retained basis and working under the direction of the school’s Advancement Director.
Our support would include:
Ongoing data review, clean-up, and organisation to support engagement and reporting.
Website build and content support for advancement, alumni, and community activity.
Planning, promotion, and delivery of events.
Day-to-day operational support across advancement activities as required.
The service would be designed to flex up or down depending on demand, ensuring the school only paid for the support it actually needed.
Expected Outcome
The school gained access to a full suite of advancement delivery capability without the cost, risk, or complexity of employing multiple staff. Clear priorities were delivered to time and budget, with visible progress across all supported activities.
Why This Model Works
Wycane’s Advancement-as-a-Service model is ideal for schools that want outcomes, continuity, and value - without committing to large teams or traditional consultancy engagements.
