Case Study

Refreshing a school for an anniversary

Lordship Lane Primary School in London partnered with Signs Now to refresh its appearance for its 120th anniversary year. The brief was to create practical, durable signage that improved visibility, strengthened first impressions and gave the school a smarter, more prominent presence from the moment visitors arrived.

The Challenge

Improving visibility and first impressions

The school wanted to refresh its appearance for its 120th anniversary year with signage that felt practical, durable and more visually effective. Its older post-and-panel sign had become difficult to see because of a hedge, reducing impact and making the arrival experience less clear for visitors.

The Solution

A bespoke signage plan, from survey to installation

Following a free site survey, Signs Now created a comprehensive signage plan tailored to the school’s needs. Preliminary concepts and multiple samples were produced for approval, before the final signage was manufactured in-house. The finished scheme included flat-cut letters and a logo mounted to the wall, along with a new post-and-panel sign positioned in front of the building for stronger visibility.

The Results

More prominent, more professional, more welcoming.

The school now has signage that is easier to see from the approach

Client Feedback

The new signage looks far smarter and more prominent than what was there before. The project was handled professionally and efficiently, with real attention to detail and a strong focus on health and safety throughout.
