Bespoke school signs for every educational settings
From colourful reading corridors and times table stair graphics to inspiring school values displays and welcoming entrance signs, the right signage can make a real difference to how pupils, staff and visitors experience your school every day.
At Blocks Design, we design and supply bespoke school signs and display graphics for nurseries, primary and secondary schools throughout the UK. With over 25 years design experience we understand what makes a school environment look and feel its best. Based in Northamptonshire, we work with schools from Carlisle to Cornwall and Southampton to Stirling. Every sign is made to order and delivered direct to your school.
Whether you need a few signs, a corridor refresh or a complete whole-school update, every project is tailored around you. We take the time to understand your space, your pupils and what you want to achieve – and we make the whole process as simple as possible, from your first enquiry right through to delivery.
Great signs don't have to cost a fortune
We know that not every school has the budget for the kind of floor-to-ceiling corridor transformations you see on social media. The good news is you don’t need it. A few well-designed, well-placed signs in the right spaces can be just as effective – and because most of our signs are supplied ready for your site team to fit, you save on installation costs too.
Everything we do is bespoke, so you decide what you need, where it goes and what you spend. Whatever your budget, get in touch and we will work out the best way to make it work for you – there is nothing off the shelf and every sign is designed specifically around your school.
Why school signs make a difference
Well-designed, well-placed signs do far more than fill a wall. Throughout your school they can:
- Reinforce your school values and promote positive behaviour.
- Support learning through everyday visual repetition – times tables, phonics, book titles and more.
- Help pupils, staff and visitors find their way around your site.
- Create a welcoming, inspiring environment that reflects your school’s identity.
- Make a strong first impression on prospective families and Ofsted visitors.
Every sign we create is made specifically for your school – you choose the colours, the content, the size and the style, and we design it around your space.
Popular school sign types
Here are some of our most popular school signs and display products. Click any heading to find out more.
Put your school values front and centre. Our values signs are one of our most popular products – available in a huge range of shapes, sizes and styles to suit your space and your budget. Whether you want bold, large-format displays for your hall or reception, or smaller versions for individual classrooms, we can design something that feels genuinely unique to your school.
Turn your staircases into learning spaces. Times table stair graphics are a brilliant way to reinforce maths through daily repetition – pupils practise without even realising it. Bright, durable and easy for your site team to fit, they consistently transform one of the most underused spaces in school.
Inspire a love of reading with striking book spine wall displays. We recreate the spines of popular children’s and young adult titles as large-format wall graphics, creating reading corridors that pupils genuinely notice. Include titles from your own reading list or let us suggest popular choices for your age range.
Help younger pupils build their literacy skills as they move around school. Phonics stair graphics and literacy displays can be designed around your scheme of work and are a popular choice in nurseries and primary schools.
Add character and visual impact to halls, sports halls, playgrounds and specialist areas. Silhouette signs are always eye-catching – especially on a brightly painted wall – and can be customised to reflect the purpose of each space.
A reading-themed alternative to times tables on the stairs – popular in both primary and secondary schools. Book spine stair graphics promote your reading culture every time pupils move between floors.
Showcase pupil work, celebrate achievements, display curriculum and subject topics, house displays, create staff photo boards, or share important information – without the ongoing effort of traditional fabric display boards. Easy to update and reduces staff workload. Our corridor display boards are durable, low maintenance and designed to look great for years.
