Schools can cut maintenance costs by replacing temporary displays and frequent repainting with bespoke Wall Art.
Wall art is durable, zero-maintenance, and cost-effective over time. It enhances learning environments while reducing ongoing repair and decorating expenses.
Chris Harris, Director at Promote Your School, explains; “Schools often rely on visual displays to support learning. But, while temporary displays may seem like a quick and affordable option, they usually require a great deal of upkeep. They’ll need to be replaced regularly and don’t necessarily offer long-term value. The same applies to painting of walls. Areas of high footfall may need to be painted annually, and this can have a big impact on school maintenance costs.”
So, what’s the solution?
In our experience, Wall Art is a durable and long-term alternative to painting and temporary visual displays.
It is designed bespoke and requires absolutely zero upkeep. Once it’s installed, it will stay looking good for many years. So, in the long-term it offers excellent value and can help reduce school maintenance costs.
Wall Art by Promote Your School is an award winning visual learning display with a difference…
Sarah Pappin is Assistant Principal at Torquay Academy. Over the past few years, the school has replaced most of their temporary displays with bespoke Wall Art by Promote Your School.
Sarah believes that Wall Art is a more durable and permanent solution to painting and temporary displays;
“Pretty much as soon as [the temporary displays] went up, they were outdated and started looking tatty. Now, [thanks to the Wall Art], teachers spend more time in the classroom, teaching…which is exactly where they should be.”
Steve Margetts is Principal at the school and says, “One of the unintentional benefits that the Wall Art has created is our Maintenance team are just so delighted. It has led to a reduction in our painting costs and we were then able to invest that money in further Wall Art.”
It’s important to note that Wall Art is not a templated or off-the-shelf product. So there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Instead, we price every project based on the scope of work required.
Here are a few things you need to know about Wall Art costs;
“As part of the design for our learning environment, I worked with Promote Your School who designed Wall Art for our school. This included a History Timeline, Group Room Themes and House Team Display walls.
Most of these are now seven years old and look as fresh as the day they were installed. In terms of value for money, I cannot fault this company.
The designs are vibrant and can be created in such a bespoke way that I felt I was involved all the way to the final product. I would recommend this company for their expertise, professionalism and quality – and have done so over the past few years to visiting professionals admiring the Wall Art.” -Ms Trudy Spillane, Executive Principal at Drapers Pyrgo Priory School and Drapers Maylands Primary School
At Promote Your School we take great pride in our seamless design process with a dedicated consultant to guide you. Our consultants join us from an education or creative background, or both, so they are very experienced in helping you achieve your goals.
And it’s this experience that allows us to offer a highly tailored service to our customers. The process starts with a free, no obligation consultation with a prospective customer.
We’ll visit your school in-person to discuss your goals. This helps us understand the design brief and what you hope to achieve. In this session, we can also explain our process, set expectations and give ideas and suggestions.
If you have a limited budget, we can suggest ways to achieve your goal within your allocation. For example; you can use half wall designs, create single feature walls, or phase designs over a period of time. We can also provide ideas about how to finance your Wall Art project outside of your core budget.
So, do ask us about this during your consultation (or before) and we’ll be happy to help!
“Quick, efficient and very accommodating to tweaks and changes. Super designs and all done within a given timeframe and budget. No hidden costs. Company very quick at getting back in touch and updating designs. A wonderful experience that we would definitely repeat!” – Engayne Primary School
If you decide to proceed, we’ll put together a quote for the work required. Once you approve the quote, we’ll move to the design phase. We’ll guide you through the process and allow you to feedback on any artwork to make sure you’re 100% when you sign it off. Our team consist of senior designers with extensive experience of designing specifically for education settings.
While your expert designer is bringing creative brief to life, our install team will be getting ready to install your Wall Art, starting with pre-installation site survey. This ensures we have all the exact measurement that we need and you know how to make sure the area is ready, so installation day goes smoothly. We can install at weekends and during holidays to minimise disruption to teaching time.
Finally, the best part – we’ll install the final designs to totally transform the space!
