Wallingford School, Wallingford, Oxon.

 Deciding to work with School Image was one of the best decisions I have made since I became a headteacher. I wanted to create a strong impression that things had changed in the school. The environment needed to be bright, distinctive and create a strong sense of identity throughout the school.

 The people at School Image understood what I wanted straight away, and had a clear idea of where we were and where we wanted to go. They worked with myself, the teaching staff and the students to create something unique and very special. I could not be happier with the outcome. It was almost the same as building a new school through art and design.

 The students arrived in September and responded to the changes we wanted to make positively. The improvements in the environment reinforced the message we wanted to send. At a recent open evening parents of Year 6 children commented on the quality of the displays and signage. Those who had older children were particularly keen to tell us what a big impact the work had made.

 Thorough the process the people we have worked with have been friendly, positive and very helpful indeed. They were flexible in their approach and tolerant of the demands colleagues occasionally made. We are making a big difference here and the work done by School Image is a significant part of that. I would recommend any school leader looking to make significant changes to the way the school looks and operates to consider School Image seriously.
