A school values display can inspire pupils and create a sense of belonging.

Your school values provide a solid foundation for pupils, staff and parents. They’re a reflection of the type of school you are, and the role you play in the community.

A school values display can showcase and celebrate your values to everyone who steps foot in your school.

It’s important that any displays are prominent, engaging and appealing to all pupils. And, it’s worth considering the longevity of your displays, the amount of upkeep required and the best location for them.

Here we’ll walk you through some ideas of how to showcase and celebrate your values through a compelling, high impact and long-lasting display.

What to include on your school values display

First, think about the type of backdrop you’d like for your display. Many schools opt for nature backdrops – for example; trees, greenery, flowers and wildlife. This is because nature is proven to improve wellbeing and create a calm environment.

You may want to brand your school values display with your school colours. This creates a professional and cohesive effect. You can also add your school logo and even your Trust logo, if you’re part of an MAT.

Then, of course, you’ll include your school values. These can be displayed in a myriad of ways, using an array of fonts, text sizes, images and styles.

Some schools ask us to create icons or images to represent each value and often to colour code them. This is useful for visual learners, emerging readers and pupils with special education needs as it brings context and meaning to the values. It’s fun to involve your pupils in this process – some schools run competitions or workshops for pupils to create their own briefs for logos that represent the school’s values. This is great for building a sense of ownership over your values.

Where to install it

Your admin office and reception area are ideal for a school values display.

They’re often the first part of the school any visitors will see. So a stunning visual display gives you the opportunity to make a positive first impression.

Other communal areas like corridors, stairwells, the school hall, canteen and even playground can work well. It’s worth thinking about areas with high footfall that will make a big impact on pupils, staff, parents and visitors.

You don’t need a huge wall space to showcase your school values. Sometimes even small, quirky spaces can have a big impact. It’s more important that the design is bold and grabs attention.

Designed to last

Temporary school values displays are great if you’re on a budget. Handmade posters and notice boards can do the job. But you may find these need to be maintained, updated and replaced regularly.

Once a display starts looking worn and tatty, it may have an impact for all the wrong reasons!

If you’re investing in a values display, it may be worth spending a little more upfront for a permanent option. A compelling design, printed on durable materials will last many years. It will require zero maintenance and won’t need to be replaced like temporary displays. So you’ll find you enjoy a better return on investment in the long run!
