Making the decision about which school to attend can be a highly emotional time for pupils and parents. Parents want peace of mind that their chosen school offers a positive, nurturing and welcoming environment to support their child’s development.
And, whether you’re a state or independent school, you’ll no doubt want to make your school first choice on that list.
Here are a few ways in which bespoke Wall Art can support your school marketing efforts. These tips will help you enhance key areas of your school, so they appeal to prospective families and make yours the obvious choice for pupils and parents.
How do you communicate your nursery or school’s ethos to prospective parents?
Your prospectus and Open Days will certainly get prospects through the door. And, once they enter your learning environment, you’ve a real opportunity to shine!
Consider this; Forbes Magazine says you have 7 seconds to make a first impression. This means prospective families will form an idea of your school even before they enter the front door. With this in mind, it’s worth asking; “Does my school’s exterior and interior look inviting and welcoming?”.
You can use visual Wall Art on your gates, fences, windows and doors to create a positive first impression. We can also brand your designs to the school’s colours and even include the logo, motto and values for a slick and professional look.
As parents enter Your Primary School building, now is the perfect opportunity to grab their attention. Visual displays can showcase everything you offer as a school, to appeal to what matters most to parents and pupils.
A school building that feels dull and uninspiring can put prospective parents off. So, use your visual environment to show parents that yours is a place where their child will be happy, engaged and nurtured.
Large, visual Wall Art features can be used strategically around your school;
Sending their children off to school for the first time is a huge step for parents so selecting the right school is important for them. Focusing on Wall Art in your EYFS area can help you communicate how you will care for and nurture their child. Making EYFS fun, education and a home from home can put parents minds at ease.
Wall Art can help you designate zones for play and role play. Feature key learning tools like number lines and alphabets within fun and playful scenes that spark curiosity, build vocabulary and encourage discussion.
Nature scenes can build a calm and nurturing atmosphere. For example; trees, flowers, animals and birds. These reassure parents that your Early Years setting offers a gentle and uplifting environment for their little ones
A positive visual environment will delight prospective families, and show why your school should be their first choice. Wall Art can communicate everything that’s positive about your school in just a few seconds.
It can also give families a ‘gut feeling’ that this is a positive place for their young children to learn and grow, which is so crucial to making that all important decision.
Secondary School paves the way for each child’s future studies and career. And pupils now have input into the decision, alongside their parents.
So, how do you ensure your school attracts prospective pupils so you’re top of their shortlist?
Once again, your visual environment is key. Wall Art can help you demonstrate that your school is one-of-a-kind, and offers a truly inspiring, aspirational and uplifting learning environment.
It can also help new pupils settle into Secondary School life, and help them navigate around the school building with ease.
Transitions to secondary school from primary school can be a daunting time for pupils and parents. Incorporating fun and playful imagery into your learning environment shows how much you understand this and can and bridge the gap between Primary and Secondary School. This Mathematical illusions wall is a great example of playful learning imagery in a Year 7 area.
For many students, moving to Sixth Form is a rite of passage. No longer children, these young adults have a newfound desire to be treated as mature and independent people.
You can use your walls to create dedicated spaces for Sixth Formers. This will impress prospects when they visit your school. It’ll also show that you value your Sixth Formers and offer them a dedicated space within the school.
Wall Art can create a sense of community that will appeal to prospective Sixth Formers. Younger students will look forward to having their turn in the dedicated Sixth Form space.
