Display policy

Effective display in a school can be beneficial for both children and staff. 

The world is a visual place, with an increasing use of technology.  Children need colourful, visual stimuli around them.  The more interesting displays we present and the more children become a part of them, the more exciting, stimulating and lively our school can become.

 

Aims

The aim of effective display is to give value to children work, and to stimulate class work.  Children's work, correctly done and well presented, should be enhanced by the way in which it is displayed.  This will give recognition to the child and peers that this is work we value.  All displays should be a celebration of children's work and a stimulus to further work.  Every child should see its work displayed from time to time.

 

Equipment  

Equipment for displays will be reviewed at the end of each term by the Display Co-ordinator to ensure that there are enough resources for the forthcoming term.

Equipment is important to the upkeep of displays and the changes that are made to displays.  It is important that all staff keep the display storage and work area tidy and do not remove tools from that area. Teachers should contact the Display Co-ordinator if resources are needed before the term review.

 

School Management

The Display Co-ordinator should be aware of and consulted on, new displays around school. Displays within the classrooms or around the door of the class are the responsibility of the teacher, not the Co-ordinator.

 

Requirements

  • Resources for displays will be found in the Art Room.  Any colour paper may be used, as long as it enhances the children's work.
  • No Sellotape should be used directly on the walls, as this damages the paint work in the school, and does not enhance the children's work.  All work that is to be put onto walls should be put up using blu tack.
  • All work should be clearly displayed with a title.  Usually, there should be some description of what the work is, or how it has been achieved.  There may also be a question to stimulate the interaction of the viewer.
  • All work should be mounted before being displayed.
  • Consideration should be given to the appropriate location of displays within the classroom and throughout the school.
