Motivational magic of reading
“Somewhere, inside all of us, is the power to change the world” – from Matilda by Roald Dahl, 1988
Our design team often turns to books when selecting motivational quotes for students. There are so many wonderful stories to choose from. And there’s a plethora of authors whose inspiring words positively impact students.
The other benefit of featuring motivational quotes from books and authors? They offer a gateway to reading! Pupils may see a quote that resonates with them and feel curious to learn more; What’s this book about? Who is the author? Can I relate to the characters?
Books can inspire and uplift students. Complement motivational quotes with stirring images to encourage pupils to harness the life-changing magic of reading.
Raise aspirations
“Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine” – Alan Turing, Computer Scientist
Want to motivate pupils to seek out their future career paths? Motivational quotes can help! We often include motivational quotes for students when designing subject related Wall Art.
An inspiring quote from a famous Historian, Scientist or Artist could ignite a pupil’s passion in this field. And, it motivates pupils to know that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.
This spirit of triumph, often in the face of adversity, can also foster a growth mindset in pupils. Children will be inspired to learn that many of the innovations they enjoy today were created by ordinary people who dared to dream, and work hard.
It’s important to feature quotes from people across all subjects, fields of interest and walks of life. So pupils can see heroes they can relate to, and realise that they too can achieve greatness.
Stirring sports quotes
“Every champion started as a beginner once”
We featured this quote in a Sports corridor designed for Lee Chapel Primary School. The goal was to motivate pupils to get active and dream big!
Sports are a popular reference point when we select motivational quotes for students. Sporting heroes can serve as aspirational role models. And, stirring quotes from these heroes can inspire pupils to reach their full potential.
Motivational quotes about sports often focus on the power of working as a team. This spirit of teamwork mirrors the importance of working together as a school community. Because, feeling a part of the team is vital to build a sense of belonging for pupils.
When designing sports Wall Art, we always showcase a diverse range of sports and heroes. So every pupil can see something, or someone, they’ll relate to.
Motivational walls aren’t just for indoors! For younger pupils, feature motivational quotes in your playground and outdoor spaces. Older pupils will be motivated by quotes in the gym, school hall or sports department.
Power of positivity
“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think” – A.A. Milne
Motivational quotes for students can help create a positive learning environment for all.
Imagine a dull reception area being transformed into a warm and welcoming space? Or a tired school hall brought to life with inspiring images and positive words? Inspirational people could line your stairwells, or create a sense of wonder on your classroom walls.
Many schools use motivational quotes to boost morale and raise spirits. And, as pupil wellbeing is top of the agenda across all schools, we should not underestimate the power of uplifting words!
A single wall offers enough space to create a visually stunning, motivational mural. Use positive words to change thinking and create a positive mindset in pupils and teachers.
Happy, healthy pupils achieve better learning outcomes. So if you create a positive and uplifting visual learning environment, you can boost attainment rates as a result.
