Case Studies
George Stephenson High School
George Stephenson High School offers a wonderfully supportive environment for pupils. It’s an inclusive school that pupils can be proud of, and a notable landmark in the community.
We designed a large welcome wall to share the school’s history, celebrate their story and reinforce their values. Branded in the school’s colours, the design features the school’s namesake, George Stephenson and gives a brief overview of their history.
A timeline at the bottom of the design tracks George Stephenson’s life, from birth in the 1700s to his death in 1848. It was a delight to bring this design to life on the school’s walls.
This vibrant design bring colour and energy to the school’s reception area. The branded colours create a professional feel, with the school’s logo front and centre.
We presented all the information in digestible design boxes, so it’s easy to read and understand. And the large wall space allowed us to include lots of images from the school’s history. We really enjoyed working on this project for the school.
We create all Wall Art bespoke at our in-house design studio. This means we can customise designs to each school’s unique requirements and preferences.
Our service includes design, print and installation. And each school benefits from a dedicated consultant to guide them through the process.

Clifton Hall School Alumni Wall Art
Clifton Hall School is an independent school in Scotland. It offers all through education for pupils aged 3-18 years.
Founded in 1930, the school maintains high academic standards and focuses on courtesy, self-respect and development of character. They are proud of their rich history and have an impressive list of successful alumni. One of these is Jim Clark OBE, a British racing driver who attended the school.
We designed a timeline tracking Jim’s successful career. From attending Clifton Hall School to his induction into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame, the timeline shares his many achievements.
Timelines are a popular type of Wall Art because they facilitate active learning. Pupils can walk alongside the timeline and track the course of history in real time.
Timelines also help pupils understand chronology at a glance. In this case, the timeline is personal to the school as Jim Clark was a former pupil. But a timeline can showcase any subject or field of interest. This includes world history, science, maths, english or STEM.
Pupils will feel a sense of pride to see the achievements of former pupils like Jim Clark.
We create all our Wall Art bespoke at our studio in London. Our design team is highly experienced and can turn any school’s vision and objectives into an educational masterpiece!
We can tailor designs to each school’s unique preferences. For example, we can brand the designs to your school colours, personalise the content and work around any existing fixtures or fittings on the wall.
We print our Wall Art on durable materials, so it will last many years. It requires zero maintenance and will not need to be replaced like temporary displays do.
Our service includes design, print and installation.

Our Lady & St Bede Sports Wall Art
We designed Sports Wall Art for Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy.
Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy has a distinct ethos. Their approach is centered on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.
We were delighted to design bespoke Sports Wall Art for the school. The inspiring images and phrases have transformed the space. Now pupils will be motivated to try their best. And they’re sure to give their all in PE and sports activities on offer at the school!
We’ve designed a number of Wall Art projects for Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy. So it’s clear that the school is serious about their visual learning environment!
And for good reason too! A survey by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in 2010 found that 96% believe a school’s learning environment has an influence on pupils’ behaviour.” (School learning environments)
So it’s wonderful to work with schools who are using Wall Art to maximise the benefits of a positive visual learning environment.
Sports Wall Art
This particular project focused on Sports and physical activity. The designs are the first thing someone sees when they enter the PE department. They showcase the sports on offer and the school. And they explain how each of the school’s values is applied in a sports setting.
This is a powerful way to combine the wellbeing benefits of physical activity with the school’s values. We chose inspiring images to complement the text, against a striking and colourful backdrop.
Bespoke Wall Art by Promote Your School can totally transform a school! Whatever the goal, we can tailor the designs to meet each school’s unique objectives.
In this case, we transformed the PE and sports departments for pupils, teachers and external visitors who use the facilities. Often, staff and students from other schools visit for sports events. This includes prospective and current parents too. So, this is a key area to make a positive impression on visitors and showcase the school’s rich and diverse values.
Wall Art adds wow factor to the space!
Our process
As standard on all projects, we kicked off this one by visiting the school to conduct a face to face consultation. Our consultations are free of charge and no obligation. So they’re a great value add to our service.
But they’re a critical piece of the puzzle. Site visits allow us to use our extensive experience to advise schools how to maximise their space and budget.
In this case, our North East based consultant Helen worked closely with the team at OLSB. She was keen to ensure they got the exact end result they were after. Helen liaised with the school throughout the process. And she kept the team informed on timings and milestones to manage expectations.
After installation, Helen also consulted with the school to get feedback and ensure they were 100% happy.

Valley Gardens Middle School Library Wall Art
We designed Wall Art for Valley Gardens Middle School.
One of the first questions asked when pupils join Valley Gardens Middle School is; “what do you want to achieve?”.
In fact, this has become the school motto. It reflects the opportunity for pupils to achieve whatever they set their minds to. The school places emphasis on physical, creative, moral and spiritual development, alongside academic potential. So children receive a well rounded education that aims to equip them for modern life.
We designed Wall Art for the school’s library. This striking design is sure to spark curiosity and fuel imaginations.
A school library can be a magical place. Pupils can escape their everyday worries and get lost in a good book. Reading changes lives. So the importance of an inviting school library cannot be overstated!
With this in mind, the team at Valley Gardens Middle School wanted to transform their library. They requested an inspiring Wall Art design against a magical backdrop.
We featured curious creatures and scenes that will ignite pupils’ imaginations. For younger pupils, this intriguing design will develop vocabulary as pupils discuss what they can see. And pupils of all ages will be inspired to find out more by reading books that reflect these magical worlds.

Case Study North East local landmarks
Here are some recent Wall Art projects featuring local landmarks in the North East.
The thing we love most about working with schools in the North East is how proud they are of their local landmarks!
In fact, we’ve completed a number of recent projects featuring popular landmarks and places of interest in Tyne & Wear.
Here’s a round up of our favourite local landmark projects for schools in the North East.
Fulwell Junior School in Sunderland
In the Summer, we worked with Fulwell Junior School to create Wall Art that shows off local landmarks across Wearside.
“The school wanted a rich visual display of Sunderland’s famous features to act as a backdrop for the Roger Hiorns sculptures, which are on display in their yard. These are on long term loan via the British Arts Council.” – Helen Wilson, North East Consultant at Promote Your School.
We happily obliged, designing a bespoke outdoor Wall Art project to bring these landmarks to life.
Putting Sunderland on the map
Following the Wall Art installation, we were delighted to be invited back to the school to share their celebration when receiving a Platinum Artsmark Award!
Sunderland’s mayor presented the award at an art-filled ceremony. Pupils sang, danced and read poetry, to reinforce why they are entirely deserving of their Artsmark Award. And we were thrilled to be a part of the day and join their celebrations.

Mill Hill Primary School in Sunderland
We created this colourful design for Mill Hill Primary School. It’s a visual showcase of local landmarks, against a vibrant backdrop.
We also included a local area map, which shows the Wear River snaking its way around the city, from Sunderland Docks. This is an engaging way to showcase Sunderland’s rich mining and shipbuilding heritage, explore the local area and inspire curiosity in pupils, teachers and visitors to the school.
Local pride
This installation sits proudly in the school’s entrance lobby, so it sets the scene from the minute one walks through the doors. It’s a great way to make a good first impression of the school.
Pupils will feel a sense of pride at living in a city boasting such a rich history, with many well known landmarks.
It was a joy to work with the school and bring their vision to life through our bespoke design process.
Heddon On The Wall St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School
We designed a local area map at Heddon on the Wall St Andrews C of E Primary School.
Created in a traditional guide map style, the design features roads, rivers and local landmarks across North East England. To the right, there’s a large world map, with national landmarks above.
The power of this NE England map lies in its size. Pupils can stand alongside the map and discover places and features they might miss in the pages of a textbook.
This is Geography without borders! And it serves as a natural learning tool to help students absorb and remember information about the local area, and wider world.
Westerhope Primary School in Newcastle
Phase one installation
We designed Wall Art for Westerhope Primary School, featuring local landmarks in and around Newcastle.
Pupils can marvel at The Tyne Bridge, Newcastle Castle and the Angel of the North, set against a colourful background.
We added creative flair to the designs with bursts of colour, fun illustrations and the school’s motto. We’re confident this design will inspire pupils to ‘reach for the stars through learning’.
Wherever pupils go beyond school, we hope these images will stay entrenched in their minds. A beautiful reminder of the city that made them who they are.
Phase two installation
The second phase of Westerhope Primary School’s Wall Art project featured a map of the River Tyne, with pins for each of its seven bridges.
Above the map, we designed an image bubble for each bridge, alongside its name and the date it was built.
St Mary’s Lighthouse provides the perfect backdrop to a Values wall we designed for Monkseaton Middle School in Whitley Bay.
Local landmarks are the star of the show as pupils, teachers and visitors enter the school lobby.
A total transformation
This wall is part of a series of Wall Art designs we installed around the school, and local landmarks feature in many of the designs.
We also designed a timeline to present facts about key events and milestones from throughout history. Tyne and Wear’s local history is woven into facts about the wider world.
Within the timeline, we included images of prolific people from the North East to show how local beginnings have led to worldwide success.
Wall Art for Schools in the North East
Helen (pictured below) is our regional consultant in the North East – and a proud Sunderland local.
She travels around Tyne and Wear, helping schools achieve their improvement goals through stunning Wall Art by Promote Your School.
Helen has significant experience and a passion for education. So she can confidently advise schools on the best ways to transform their learning environments.
She’s delivered many projects, across an array of topics and goals. But, Helen is particularly fond of projects that celebrate her native county;
“It’s wonderful to see so many schools bringing local North East landmarks to their walls. I would have loved to see these on the walls when I was at school!
It’s my job to make the process as seamless as possible for my clients. I’ll begin by visiting the school to chat through their goals and measure up their available space. From there, I’ll guide them through the design brief to make sure they’re 100% happy before they approve the artwork. I’ll then liaise with our print and installation teams, and stay in touch with the school throughout to keep them up to date.
I love to visit schools to see their Wall Art after installation. It’s very rewarding to hear directly from teachers and pupils, and see first-hand, the impact of our bespoke Wall Art”. – Helen Wilson, North East Consultant
