Types of school signs and where they’re used
School signs play a vital role in creating a welcoming, informative and safe environment for students, staff and visitors. They can be grouped into three main types: essential, educational and decorative.
Essential signs — such as entrance, directional, welcome and safety signage — help people navigate your site and stay safe. These often include your school’s branding, colours and formal messaging.
Educational and decorative signs vary by age group. For nurseries, infant, junior and primary schools, designs are colourful, playful and engaging — using fun shapes, informal fonts and cheerful imagery. For secondary schools, colleges and universities, signage takes on a more mature tone to appeal to older students.
Popular choices include:
Life-size silhouette signs for halls, sports areas and playgrounds
School values and behaviour signs for reception, corridors and classrooms
Book spine staircase and wall graphics to brighten spaces and encourage reading
Times tables and maths-themed stairs for fun learning on the move
Corridor information display boards, which keep displays tidy and easy to update

Why school signage matters
Creative, well-placed signage plays a vital role in any school. It can:
Promote positive behaviour and reinforce your values
Make your site easier to navigate for pupils, staff, and visitors
Support learning in subtle but effective ways
For example, stair graphics can help pupils memorise times tables or spark curiosity about reading as they move around the building. Values displays and corridor boards can reinforce your school ethos while adding colour and structure to learning spaces. Even welcome signs and wayfinding help create a professional, inviting first impression.
At Blocks Design, we combine creativity, functionality, and durability to deliver signage that makes a real difference in schools – signage that works hard for you, your staff, and your pupils every day.

School signs to inform, direct, educate and decorate
School signs play a crucial role in creating a welcoming, informative and safe environment for students, staff, and visitors alike. They serve a number of purposes, and can be broken down into three types: essential, educational and decorative. Post or wall entrance signs, directional signs, welcome signs and safety signage are essential to assist movement around the site and keep everyone safe. These signs usually have a formal style featuring school branding, colours and messaging.
The design style for signs within the educational areas will vary depending on the pupil age. Signage for nurseries, infant, junior and primary schools will have more of a fun feel, using bright colours and imagery, informal fonts, and fun shapes to engage and appeal to younger children. Signage for secondary schools, colleges and universities is designed with a bit more of a grown up feel to appeal to teens and young adults.
Choose life-size silhouette signs of children dancing and playing for halls, sports halls and the playground. Show off your school values, rules and behaviour signs to pupils, staff and to visitors alike with larger versions for areas such as Reception, the hall and waiting areas, and smaller versions for classrooms. Times table stair stickers and book spine stair graphics are a popular choice to brighten up stairwells and allow learning to continue as pupils move around school. Add some WOW to your corridor or library walls with book spine wall graphics, which are always popular with the children and staff alike. Teachers are loving our corridor information display boards as they make the corridor displays look neater, and reduce the staff workload. They can be used to create a professional display of important information for visitors, parents and staff, or to show off the children’s latest work, and can be updated as often as you wish.
School signs designed to your requirements
Our signage is created to your bespoke design and size requirements to ensure that you receive signs that work for your setting. Offering a varied range of products, a professional, friendly service coupled with years of experience and attention to detail, we’ll provide you with guidance and support throughout the ordering process. Signage can be designed for all educational settings – nurseries, infant, junior, primary and secondary schools (and academies), colleges and universities, adapting our design style to reflect the age of your pupils.
It’s more often the case that signage jobs can be handled remotely by telephone and email, and often supplied for your Site Supervisor install, saving you on installation costs. However, there are some types of signage which do need to be installed by professionals. We will discuss the aspects of the job and decide which option works best for your requirements and budget.
