Take a look at some of our most recent school wall art projects.

Brigshaw High School, a large secondary school in Bradford, exemplifies how school values wall art can make a bold impact. In the canteen, a prominent wall wrap showcases the school’s ethos, making abstract values tangible for every student. Elsewhere, a dramatic sports-themed wall mural in the PE block and another outside the Drama department celebrate creativity and performance. Finally a custom world map in the humanities department highlights key locations the students visit and learn about in the curriculum. These custom wall graphics combine striking imagery with motivational quotes, turning standard corridors into spaces that promote your school culture and foster daily inspiration.

At Oakwood School in Horley, Kent, subject-focused vinyl wall wraps breathe life into everyday learning spaces. Hallways are no longer boring transitional spaces but immersive learning zones. The Maths corridor and Design Technology wall displays act as visual aids, encouraging curiosity and engagement with academic content. The colourful Performing Arts mural in the Dance studio adds colour and highlights key skills, and the large graphic wall in the Sixth Form study area inspires students with potential career paths. These educational wall murals not only inform but also nurture a growth mindset, essential for student success.
