These classroom decoration ideas are based on real projects we’ve completed for schools. They demonstrate how to use the walls and other surfaces of your classrooms to inspire and engage students in their learning.
Classrooms can be functional and beautiful. And these 5 examples show how to choose the right location, imagery and messaging for the rooms where learning happens. So pupils will feel motivated and ready to learn, without being overstimulated or distracted.
Read on to find out how to transform your classrooms into magical visual learning opportunities…
A colourful visual display can serve as a powerful learning aid and transform your classrooms and wider learning environment. This Science lab at Ash Manor School is a great example of how to use a single wall for maximum impact.
Enhance your Science lab with a simple layout, rich in images and colour, to spark curiosity and help pupils remember curriculum information. Thoughtful designs will brighten up your lab and create an engaging learning environment for pupils.
Consider whether you want to target a specific year group with your design. Or, you might opt for an all encompassing design that appeals to all pupils. The content will depend on the location of your Wall Art and who uses the classroom. Bringing your curriculum to life, visually in this way, makes learning more accessible to pupils.
Quotes and images can share curriculum content on your classroom walls. In this example, in an English Classroom at Burnt Mill Academy, The Bard takes center stage.
Using the back wall of your classroom works well; it is engaging for pupils but will not detract from their learning. The back wall also offers a stunning visual backdrop for the teacher to enjoy. They can immerse themselves in the subject matter as they deliver lessons to pupils, feeling motivated and positive about what they’re teaching.
You might wish to feature a specific person or piece of work on your classroom walls, as in this example. Or, you could combine various aspects of English (or any other subject) to showcase its many themes, topics and curriculum elements.
Neutral colours will complement the inherent features and fixtures of the wall, like doors and windows. At the same time, the imagery should be striking enough to maintain pupils’ attention and spark curiosity and interest.
Wall Art can refresh, or totally transform, your RE Classrooms. In this example, Rodborough School wanted to celebrate many religions from around the world.
The design is bright, colourful and image rich. It includes quotes and information about various religions, alongside photos of famous faces pupils will recognise. The aim here is to build tolerance and understanding so pupils can grow into kind and inclusive citizens of the world.
If yours is a faith school, you could feature aspects of your school’s belief system, and reinforce its importance to pupils. Passages from relevant religious texts can also be brought to life alongside inspiring images.
You could include pictures of places and landmarks that relate to your school’s religion. These will serve as a learning aid. And they’ll help connect pupils to the wider world, showing how faith and beliefs can impact society outside of school.
There’s no denying the impact of technology on schools and the way you teach. But your classrooms are still a vitally important space for learning. And your walls can support your online learning strategy in a big way.
Schools today invest heavily in EdTech devices, software and digital tools that enhance learning. But often, the physical environment is left behind. When classrooms are designed intentionally, they can bring the online world to life, offline.
This example – an eSports gaming room for Fulham Cross Academy, shows the concept in action. The physical space is designed to celebrate online gaming. So, offline and online work together in harmony to enhance learning.
When pupils love the environment they learn in, they’re more engaged. So using your physical classroom spaces in this way can celebrate everything pupils love about the digital world.
Have you ever considered replacing your flooring with a bespoke designed visual alternative? It’s a great way to create a truly immersive learning space.
