An unsafe old sign out. A new front for the school in.

Client: The Winstanley School
Location: Braunstone Town, Leicester
We did: Removal of the old sign, new main sign with 3D lettering, hall values sign, scaffolding, installation

The brief

The old sign on the front of the school, supplied by another company, had become unsafe and had to come down. The school wanted a new main sign in its own colours and logo, with the name in 3D lettering.

What we did

We took the old sign down first, so nothing unsafe was left on the building. The new panels were cut to shape on the CNC table in our Leicester workshop, taken to site in our van and fitted to the front of the building, with The Winstanley School in 3D lettering under the logo. Given why the old sign had to come down, secure fixing came first. Making sure every panel is fixed firmly to the building is part of our process on every install, not an afterthought.

The result

A front that looks like the school it belongs to, and nothing hanging off the wall that shouldn't be. Winstanley keeps coming back: more than 50 orders so far, most recently new signs at seven more locations around the school.

Inside: the main hall

In the same order, the school asked for a values sign above the stage in the main hall. With scaffolding up across the stage, we fitted one line, SHINE brighter than you thought you could, running the full width above the stage, where every assembly faces it.
