Print Services for Schools & Academies

Designing new or revising existing school and academy brand identities is always an exciting prospect for the team. We work closely with stakeholders, from students and parents through to senior leaders and governors, to get an excellent understanding of the personality and ethos of the organisation before allowing the creative team to start work.

Once a clear brief and vision are in place our in-house graphic designers will start to think about the school logo design elements, colour palettes and fonts, forming complete concept identities for your school or academy branding committee to consider and adapt as you see fit.

As the foundation of all of your marketing efforts a document which clearly communicates the school or academy brand values is offered as a way to communicate to staff the thinking behind the design and how it should be used to promote the academy or school consistently and effectively.

Whether you are considering a revamp of your existing school logo design, or a complete re-brand of your academy, get in touch with the team to discuss how we can work with you efficiently to create the perfect identity for your school.

Don’t forget that whatever the extent, we are well placed to fulfil additional services from your school prospectus design, to updating your signage.

Professional high quality printed school stationery helps to subliminally reinforce the values and quality which are communicated visually through your school identity. All too often we see photocopied or laser printed compliment slips and school letterheads communicating important information and lessening the otherwise powerful impact of the brand.

Position yourself as a prospective parent or job applicant and consider your impression on receiving communication from two schools, one letter is printed from a Word template on a laser printer on standard copier paper, the other is overprinted on a high quality professionally printed letterhead on a crisp premium stationery paper. Which gives a better first impression? Now consider exchanging business cards at a conference, would you rather hand over a high quality bespoke designed card, printed on a premium business card board, or a cheap templated design that you found cheap online.

The costs of our professionally printed school stationery products are certainly not prohibitive, thanks to our in-house graphic design and manufacturing facilities. Get in touch today to discuss your next school or academy stationery order.

School newsletters serve a number of purposes; educating and informing current students and parents of the exciting events of the past term and forthcoming opportunities to come. They also act as an effective indirect marketing channel to families of prospective students, passively communicating the superb academic and extracurricular opportunities on offer to your students.

Designing your school newsletter can be a time-consuming and difficult task which diverts office staff from other important duties. Thankfully Wave Ed offer a professional and affordable newsletter design service for your school or academy. Typically we would design a concept which, once approved by the school, forms the basis of future newsletters, ensuring your school’s brand values and identity are protected and communicated in an appropriate manner. We can also help you to put strategies in place to assist teaching and support staff to submit appropriate contributions to the school newsletter to ensure high quality images and articles are available to our graphic designers.

Recent school and academy newsletter projects have ranged from simple four page leaflets through to large format newspaper style publications, all designed from customer supplied materials, to pre-approved designs, by our talented team, all with the minimum of fuss for our loyal customers. Get in touch today to discuss your forthcoming school newsletter project.

Schools and academies spend a small fortune every year placing adverts in newspapers, online and on billboards and buses, however all too often they are let down by poorly executed or badly thought out designs. Understanding the medium through which your message is being delivered is hugely important in order to ensure your advertising is well received. For example, ensuring your billboard design conveys your message and values requires a careful balance of minimal text and design elements working in harmony, something that our experienced team deliver in an efficient and cost effective manner for schools and academies on a daily basis. Likewise, in a press advert, where it may be appropriate to include more detail, it is important to understand how the images and design elements will reproduce given the print processes and papers involved, to avoid turning an excellent promotional opportunity into an embarrassing negative.

Talk to us today about your next school or academy press advert to find out just how affordable a considered and professional design can be.
