Project Details
As part of their rebranding exercise, Kings Heath Primary School worked with us on the design and build of their new website. The CMS (Content Management System) website is easy and intuitive for the staff to keep fresh and updated. The design also compliments the rest of the schools marketing materials. Click here to visit the site.

The RAR (Recommended Agency Register) mark is a symbol of excellence for design companies in the UK.

There are 30,000+ design and marketing companies in the UK but only 360 have achieved RAR status. A company will only achieve this status after an independent evaluation by the RAR assessing body. The fact we have achieved RAR status is testament to the quality of our work and high level of service that you won’t find with a lot of other local companies.

RAR surveyed several of School Identity’s key clients and asked them what they think about us in five important areas:

• Creativity and innovation
• Account management
• Value for money
• Strategic thinking
• Overall professionalism

Having scored well in every area, we were awarded Recommended Agency status. As the research was conducted confidentially with our clients we would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all those who took part.

Project Details
Kings Heath Primary School are extremely proud of their school and its place in the heart of the community. Everything they do is based on the highest expectations – of the children, the staff and the parents, of behaviour, commitment and endeavour. They believe that every child is unique and needs an individualised approach to their learning.

The Headteacher approached us to create a new Brand Identity for the school that echoed the school philosophy, as their current brand look and feel was very dated and out of touch.
What was needed now was a brand that could really start to communicate positivity and all the values the school holds dear going forward.

To control costs and to allow us to spread the budget out, we have phased the jobs into 4 distinct sections :

1. Logo Design
2. Staff Handbook
3. Prospectus
4. Website

Logo design and handbook are now complete and form the basis of the new look and feel. The prospectus and school website are in progress and will be complete in the coming months. The new look uses a vibrant colour palette and illustrations of children to reflect this new positive image, and creates a very modern feel that has been a hit with parents and children. Above all we have created an identity that is very flexible to the needs of the school, giving them an identity that everyone can be proud of.

Our Top Ten Tips are:

• Start one small manageable area and then build gradually.
• Keep it simple and accessible for all users, including those with special needs — see what you can achieve without being over-ambitious.
• Use the functions that are unique to the web to make your pages easier to navigate and interesting to visitors — hyperlinks, graphics and small animations if they’re appropriate.
• Remember your audience.
• Enlist the help of others — children can take digital photos, for example, and write material for their own pages.
• Invite feedback on how others view your offerings.
• Review and update the site constantly — to ensure that you see your site as others see it.
• Remember issues such as copyright, plagiarism, child safety and privacy.
• Appoint a webkeeper to coordinate the efforts of everyone in the school and oversee the site’s content.

The primary curriculum is changing. Children’s learning needs to keep pace with our rapidly changing world. The curriculum is at the heart of government’s policies to raise standards and help all schools improve continuously. The new primary curriculum has been designed to prepare children for the opportunities and challenges they face in the 21st century.

The new curriculum is an integrated framework for learning. It provides breadth and balance as well as securing the fundamentals of literacy, numeracy and ICT capability. There is a strong emphasis on children’s personal development, including the development of learning and thinking skills, and personal, social and emotional skills.

The curriculum provides a powerful tool to tackle continuous schools improvement. It offers schools the flexibility to tailor learning to their children’s needs, interests and aspirations. The new curriculum recognises the importance of play-based and active learning in engaging children and helping them achieve a wide range of outcomes and make the best possible progress.

Friars School are a school for 11 – 16 year old pupils with special educational needs based in Northamptonshire. They have recently been made a specialist sports college and hired me to design their new logo to reflect this change.

Key objectives for this project were that the new logo should look classic and established as well as showing what areas the school excels in. The new logo now has a very classic, very distinguished look, which perfectly communicates the schools key values. The icons in the crest show the school’s key areas of expertise.

After working closely with The Grange School on their staff handbook, we were asked to design their new prospectus. The brief was for the document to be a more interesting and flexible piece than just a standard prospectus, so we designed a ‘pack’ that would be flexible to use for many situations.

Instead of a standard brochure design we went for a folder, inserts and a DVD. The reason for this was that if information had to be changed, it would only mean changing one insert at a time instead of reprinting a whole prospectus. The DVD was a means of showing life at The Grange School through more than just a standard prospectus. The 3 minute video manages to encapsulate the brand of the school completely and is the next best thing to actually visiting the school.
