Make a Difference with Reading Wall Art
Reading is a powerful tool… According to BookTrust, it helps children develop better resilience, creativity and empathy. Reading supports children to overcome barriers and disadvantages, and promotes social mobility. Children who read regularly have better mental well-being and higher self-esteem. A well-written book can transport a child to a magical world far away from their worries and day-to-day routines, but they need the skills and a love of reading to access these worlds.
At Design for Education, we understand the importance of reading and literacy. Reading comprehension supports every other part of your school curriculum. Our English, reading and literacy-themed wall art is a simple way to encourage students’ natural curiosity about literature.
Our beautiful English wall displays celebrate the joy of books while supporting essential literacy skills. From library walls showcasing popular books to give students the final push to pick them up and start reading, to jam-packed revision walls full of quotes, characters, facts and exam structures for GCSE students, the options for transformation are endless.

For younger pupils, we create playful, story-driven designs, while for secondary schools, we can focus on literary analysis, key texts and more advanced literacy skills and terminology. Whether you need a series of English GCSE revision walls or a creative mural for your library or reading space, you can rely on the Design for Education team.
4. Can You Work Within Our Budget?
Absolutely. We provide flexible options and scalable solutions to meet your budget. Whether you want a single English mural or a full department or school-wide transformation, we’ll create a solution that delivers maximum impact at a cost that works for you. We also regularly work with Multi-Academy Trusts to create wall art designs that can be used across multiple sites.
5. What Materials Do You Use for Wall Art, and Are They Durable?
We use robust, fire-rated, wipe-clean materials including vinyl, foamex and dibond. Each wall display is laminated and professionally installed, making it safe, durable and easy to maintain in busy school environments. Unlike paper-based DIY displays, our high-quality wall art won’t need to be replaced every year, helping to save you school money in the long run.

7. How Long Does the Process Take from Design to Installation?
The typical turnaround is 4–8 weeks, depending on project size and complexity. A single English mural takes less time, while a full literacy or English department transformation will likely take longer.
8. Can Installation Be Done Outside of School Hours?
Yes. We understand how important it is to minimise disruption and protect student learning. Our DBS-checked installers can work evenings, weekends or during school holidays to ensure that student learning is not affected by the installation process.
9. Do You Offer a Guarantee?

10. How Can English Wall Art Support Literacy Development?
Bespoke English wall displays can reinforce reading, writing and comprehension skills across all age groups. From bookspine libraries which encourage a love of reading to curriculum-focused displays that cover key texts, concepts or vocabulary, English wall art can help students engage more deeply with literature and reinforce what they learn in class.
11. How Can Reading Wall Art Encourage Reluctant Readers?
Our visually engaging wall displays can help inspire students who are reluctant readers by showcasing curated book recommendations, celebrating popular characters and featuring motivational quotes from well-loved stories. These displays make literature feel more accessible to reluctant readers, encouraging them to pick up a book and explore new worlds.
Wall art can also reinforce classroom learning: for example, a storyboard of a class text can visually outline the main plot points, key themes, and character development, helping students process and remember information more effectively.
