Signage in schools and nurseries does more than point the way. It welcomes families, keeps visitors in the right places, celebrates the school’s values and gives pupils a sense of pride in where they learn.
We design, make and install signage for schools, academy trusts, colleges and nursery groups from our workshop in Greater Manchester, across the UK.
What we provide for education and childcare
- External school and nursery signs, fascias and entrance totems
- Reception signs and illuminated logos
- Values walls, murals and wall graphics
- Wayfinding, door and room signs
- Safeguarding and visitor management signs
- Accessible and tactile signage to BS 8300
Working with academy trusts
We have worked with the Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust on five of its schools so far. At St Francis, following a school competition, we redesigned the school logo for the uniform and accessories, then designed, made and installed the internal and external signage. Our work continues across the trust, including new external signage at St Stephen’s in Droylsden.
Nurseries and childcare
For Nurtured Childcare we deliver signage across its nursery sites, from built up fascia lettering and halo lit reception logos to banners and door signs, keeping the brand consistent from the street to the reception desk.
Installed around the timetable
We plan installations for evenings, weekends and school holidays so learning isn’t disrupted, and we work with site managers and senior leaders throughout.
