Education
Design Considerations for Effective Educational Signage
Signage in education must be easy to read, age-appropriate, and aligned with your institution’s values. Our design team focuses on:
- Legibility and contrast – for students of all ages and abilities
- Inclusive design – with accessible fonts, pictograms, and tactile options (Braille)
- Consistent branding – reflecting your school or academy identity
- Positive messaging – to promote values, wellbeing, and behaviour policies
We collaborate with leadership teams, facilities managers, and trust groups to ensure every sign meets its intended function.
Materials & Durability
We use tough, low-maintenance materials ideal for high-traffic school environments:
- Dibond (aluminium composite) – weatherproof and rust-resistant for external signs
- Foamex & PVC – vibrant, lightweight options for indoor displays and directional signs
- Acrylic & Perspex – durable and modern finishes for branded areas or reception zones
- Anti-graffiti and UV-stable coatings – to protect against wear, vandalism, and fading
Our signs are made to endure daily use, varied weather conditions, and evolving educational needs.
