For example, create a group of girls boarding schools and include all feeder schools which match the criteria. Simply select the girls boarding school group in the Custom Search screen when you want to contact all of those schools.

All feeder school groups are listed under the Manage School Groups option in the Marketing tab (Admissions module) and can be managed from here:

Choose to:

• Create a school group.
• Edit a school group. Edit the name, description or category for the school group.
