While the information contained within signage is of primary importance (schools, after all, are official locations with a duty of care to their charge) it is also worth noting that the design needs to be approachable and geared towards its intended audience. For example: In a primary school this would include large lettering and bright colours, whereas a large university campus would focus on cohesive branding and wayfinding information.

 

The endless design possibilities of classroom signs

Signs found within a classroom setting can be neatly divided into two main categories – permanent and temporary. The long-term signage will be integral to the room itself and will include signs such as safety instructions, school branding and decorative features. Because of their longer lifespans, these will be made of hard-wearing materials and will be securely attached to the walls, windows and doors.

Temporary signage will include anything that the teacher and the class currently using the room may need. While this will inevitably be largely made up of class work and posters crafted from paper and card, it can also encompass signage that needs to be created by expert signmakers. These can include banners, wide-format vinyl prints or large-scale imagery that matches the room’s primary focus – a periodic table for a science room, for example.

Types of signs for classrooms:

• • • Room identification signs
    • School branding signs (such as logos)
    • Floor, door or other surface covers or imagery
    • Safety signage
    • Displays for projects & student work
    • Informational signage
    • Imagery to inspire or theme the space
    • Window vinyls or covers for privacy
    • Plus many more, depending on the type of educational facility.

Signs for classrooms that stand the test of time (and tiny hands!)

Classrooms are one of the places that allows students to get to be really hands-on, and this means that your signage options may undergo a little more wear and tear than other areas. From being bumped into, scratched, buffed against or simply cleaned frequently, classroom signs need to be durable enough to withstand the energy of younger students, while remaining fit for purpose for the duration that it is in place. 

We treat each sign as its own unique project, taking into account the particular needs of the sign itself and the place in which it will sit. We expertly match the design choices with what is being displayed, and the substrate used with the location it will be situated in.

Every aspect of your school classroom sign will be considered so that is matches its purpose and need: while the sign may need to be hardwearing, it also has to be suitable for children.  Rounded corners and tamper-resistant surfaces are considerations, as well as braille and tactile signs for those with sight difficulties.

Signs for classrooms need to retain a high level of visibility, even when they have been
