We are Cleverbox, the UK’s leading school website design and branding experts.

With over 25 years of specialised experience designing for education, we are a highly creative agency dedicated entirely to schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts. Having worked with more than 1,000 schools and over 100 multi-academy trusts, we understand better than most that successful school marketing is about far more than one individual project. It is about bringing every part of your communications together clearly, creatively and consistently.

“I founded Cleverbox in 1999 because I could see how the changing education landscape was placing new demands on schools to market themselves more effectively. The team shares my commitment to bringing the benefits of creative modern marketing techniques to schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts.”
Robert Kemp, Founder and CEO

For over two decades, schools have trusted Cleverbox to help them communicate who they are through thoughtful design, strategic branding and specialist marketing services built specifically for education.

We Create:

Websites for Schools

Your website is often the first impression parents have of your school. We design and develop beautiful, easy-to-update school websites that act as engaging hubs for parents, students, staff and the wider community. Every Cleverbox website is designed specifically for education, combining striking design with practical functionality, responsive layouts and clear navigation that helps schools communicate with confidence. Beyond launch, we also provide training and ongoing support, helping your website continue working hard long after it goes live.

Highly Creative and Distinctive Prospectuses

A prospectus remains one of the most powerful ways to present your school’s story. At Cleverbox, we create bespoke prospectuses and brochures that reflect the individuality, values and ambition of every school we work with. Through imaginative design, thoughtful typography and outstanding photography, we craft publications that help schools stand out while giving prospective families something tangible, memorable and inspiring. Whether printed or interactive, your prospectus should feel like a true extension of your school’s identity.

Tailored School Branding and Logo Design

Strong branding shapes how your school is recognised, remembered and trusted. From complete rebrands to logo refreshes, we create tailored visual identities that capture your ethos and future ambitions. We combine creativity with strategic thinking to design logos, colour palettes, style guidelines and brand systems that work across every touchpoint, from websites and prospectuses to signage and uniforms. The result is branding that feels distinctive, cohesive and built to last.

Signage for Schools

Your physical environment plays a powerful role in shaping perception. We design internal and external signage that strengthens your brand while improving the everyday experience of your school community. From way-finding systems and reception signage to wall graphics, photoboards and digital displays, we help schools create environments that feel welcoming, polished and consistent. Great signage does more than direct people, it reinforces identity from the moment someone arrives.

Film, Photography and Media Content

Nothing brings your school to life quite like authentic visual storytelling. Our professional photographers and film specialists work with schools to capture the real energy, character and spirit of daily life. From promotional films and photography to virtual tours and wider media content, we help schools create powerful visual assets that strengthen websites, prospectuses, social media and recruitment campaigns. These are the details that help families connect emotionally with your school before they even step through the gates.

Why Schools Choose Cleverbox

Schools do not need fragmented marketing. They need every part of their communications to work together. That is why we offer a joined-up approach, helping schools align their website, branding, prospectus, signage and media so every touchpoint feels professional, cohesive and purposeful.

Whether you are refreshing your image, strengthening admissions, launching a new trust identity or simply looking to present your school more effectively, our role is to help you tell your story with clarity and confidence.

More Than Design, Built for Education

Everything we do is shaped by our deep understanding of the education sector. We know schools face unique pressures, from student recruitment and staff attraction to trust growth and community engagement. Our specialist focus means every service we provide is designed with these challenges in mind, helping schools not only look exceptional, but communicate more effectively too.

Bringing Your School’s Story Together

At Cleverbox, we believe your website, prospectus, branding, signage and media should never feel disconnected. They should work together to reflect the quality, values and ambition of your school. That is why for more than 25 years, we have helped schools across the UK create marketing and communications that are not only visually impressive, but strategically aligned. Because when every part of your school’s identity works together, your story becomes stronger. And that story deserves to be told brilliantly.
