Timeline Wall Art can be tailored to any subject, including history, maths, science and english. But, in addition to curriculum based timelines, many schools opt to showcase their own history.
School history timelines create a sense of pride and serve as an effective learning resource. They help pupils understand chronology at a glance, prompt discussion and inspire critical thinking.
If you’re keen to use a bespoke timeline to celebrate your school, read on…
A school timeline begins at your school’s initial inception;
These are all aspects we can include on your bespoke school timeline.
The design can then track the course of history as the school evolved. Significant events will be showcased alongside key dates and photographs (if you have them).
We can also tie in your school’s history to events that took place in the wider world, so pupils have context.
Many schools are proud of their alumni. If this sounds like you, your school timeline can include the names, photos and details of any alumni who have achieved success.
Perhaps alumni have made an impact in society through their studies or career? They might have used their education to change the world for the better! Or, did any go on to become famous – perhaps in the arts or sports world?
Featuring alumni can motivate current students to follow in the footsteps of previous pupils. It’s particularly powerful for pupils to see alumni heroes who have faced challenges or overcome adversity. They may feel motivated to overcome their own difficulties in the pursuit of greatness.
The example below shows a school history timeline we designed for Clifton Hall School in Scotland. The timeline celebrates Jim Clark OBE, a Scottish racing driver who attended the school.
It’s a fun and interesting job to research the dates and events to include on your timeline.
Involve members of your teaching staff, parents, pupils and even the wider community to provide content and events that could be included. You could also contact alumni, including previous members of staff, to contribute.
Pupils may like to be involved too. In fact, this process serves as an exciting extra-curricular project for willing pupils, especially those who enjoy doing research, or those with a keen interest in history.
It’s worth trying to find any old photos, newspaper clippings or online photos that can be printed. You can provide us with key dates and events and we’ll map these out for you in a timeline design.
Your timeline should catch attention for all the right reasons. So we’ll print your design on durable, long-lasting materials so it looks its best for many years. Design is important too and it’s best to opt for a timeless design that won’t date or go out of fashion.
Think about the backdrop you want – perhaps you can include the outline of your school buildings, local landmarks or your school colours? It’s key that the backdrop isn’t too busy, so your events and dates stand out and make an impact.
