School values displays can help you share and celebrate your values.

What are school values displays designed to achieve? They’re a visual solution that can reinforce what’s expected of everyone in your school community.

Values displays can also build a sense of pride and belonging in pupils and teachers. And they’re a fabulous resource to support your school marketing efforts and Open Days.

Read on to find out more about school values displays, and how to bring yours to life.

Your school values are the foundation that supports all you do. Combined with your logo and motto, your values create the identity that makes your school unique.

Values are vital to build a sense of belonging in pupils. And there are many ways to showcase your values so everyone is familiar with them. One of these is permanent, bespoke values displays.

Schools often approach us to ask; “what are school values displays?”. We’re always happy to share examples of Values Wall Art we’ve designed for schools. These case studies show what values displays are, and how they help schools achieve their goals.

Values displays are suitable for anywhere in your school. They’re particularly effective in busy communal areas. For example; the reception area, school hall, corridors or outdoor spaces.

Examples of school values displays

Recently, we talked about how to use your values to build a sense of belonging. The blog shared a few examples of meaningful values displays we’ve created for schools.

It explained how to:

use outdoor spaces to showcase your values
feature local landmarks as a backdrop
cut costs by using half the wall height for displays
include your pupils in the design process
use sports as a reference point for your values

How to bring your values to life

At Promote Your School, we create bespoke Wall Art for schools around the world. Values are a popular topic that schools request.

Initially, we’ll discuss the school’s objectives with them. We’ll also ask if they have an area in mind for their values display, or if they’d like us to suggest one. At this stage, we’ll also talk about any must-haves’ in their design. For example, branded with the school’s colours, include the logo, any symbols or images they want to accompany the text. And then we’ll chat about the backdrop.

Some schools opt for a nature backdrop. This is a great way to harness the benefits of nature indoors. Other schools might request local landmarks, a muted colour palette, a sky or a splash of colour. You can involve other members of the team to input to the process. This might be the Headteacher, other teachers, business managers, marketing teams, governors, parents, pupils and anyone else you want to include.

We’ll then guide you through the design process to ensure we fully understand your requirements. Once you’ve approved your designs, we’ll print and install your Values Wall Art. Our installation teams can work over weekends and holidays to minimise disruption to teaching time!

Finally, the most exciting part – unveiling your beautiful new values display to the school. You might want to film reactions and post on social media. Some schools even invite local newspapers and councillors to attend their Wall Art launch.
