With a new academic year coming up, why not give your school a refresh with some informative school signage that resembles your school’s ethos, branding and morals. School signage should be a priority for any school, they are designed to inform instructions, create a positive atmosphere and most importantly educate.
Why Signage for Schools is Important
School signage helps visitors, pupils and teachers to navigate their way around a school leading to more learning time. School signage also provides visitors or potential pupils with a first impression, whether you are keen to demonstrate your school’s ethos through school signage or informative text, you can determine the difference between a positive or negative experience.
Signage is a very important investment for schools, they are designed to inform instructions, safety measures, educate pupils or even influence the desired reputation you wish to portray.
Signs for Wayfinding
School signage is a popular way of helping visitors with wayfinding. Signage can enhance a visitor’s experience before they have arrived at the desired location. The more accessible and easier you make it for a visitor to find a specific location, the more drawn and positive they will find their experience before it has even started.

Promoting School Values
School signs help to strengthen the values that your school follows to create a positive and uplifting educational environment. School values are designed for pupils to succeed and to have a positive approach to learning. Naturally, the more your school values are illustrated across the school building, the more pupils will acknowledge them and begin to incorporate them within their learning.
School signs not only help to promote values, but they also set a level of standard and expectations for pupils to learn and to shape their mindsets. School values can help to build a student’s character and control any behaviour issues the school are faced with.
