Sir Herbert Leon Academy Must Read Books Corridor
We designed a book spine inspired wall for Sir Herbert Leon Academy.
Sir Herbert Leon Academy describes itself as ‘unashamedly academic, courageous and giving”. The school has certainly demonstrated this by investing in their learning environment. We worked closely with SHLA to create a reading wall, featuring the spines of popular, age appropriate books.
We call this design a ‘Must Read Books wall’ and it is a great resource for sparking curiosity. It features some of the most popular children’s books in a vibrant design.

Literacy Wall Art
There are so many ways to bring books to life on your school’s walls.
For younger pupils, we’d suggest you stick with magical themes. For example, castles, wizards, fairies and mythical creatures. This fuels young imaginations and sparks curiosity in young readers.
For older pupils, we can tailor your designs to your curriculum. Or we can feature classic titles that everyone should read – all ideas are achievable with our Wall Art.
In this case, we’ve depicted book spines for a really engaging and immersive effect. But we can also feature quotes, images and scenes from books. It’s important that we represent a wide range of authors and books so that every pupil can relate to the Wall Art.
Lasting Wall Art
We worked closely with the school to agree books that they felt were relevant to their pupils. And, of course, we showcased books that will stand the test of time, especially as our Wall Art is durable and will be a bright fixture in the school for a number of years.
Our commitment to literacy
Our commitment to literacy is evident through our work, designing bespoke literacy Wall Art for schools. But we also work with literacy charities around the UK to support their work and increase their impact.
We have partnerships with BookTrust, The Reading Agency and Bookmark Reading Charity.
It’s our belief that every child should be able to enjoy the magic of a good book, so we’ll continue working with schools and charities to bring this ambition to life
Working with your space
We’re here to help you whether or not you have a dedicated library space. With Wall Art, any space in your school can celebrate books!
Your corridors, stairwells, classrooms, communal areas and even outdoor spaces can help promote the power of literacy.
