We're from a teaching family, with teaching in our bones, including a primary Head, a SENDCo, a specialist Music teacher & specialist IT Teacher too. When we all get together it's more than a bit tricky to avoid the subject of education but, like all teachers, we do our best. The IT specialist of our clan came up with the idea of Blippit Boards many many years after the time he stapled the side of his hand with an open jawed Bambi stapler while putting up a display in a rush. To this day we still hear the tale!
Blood sweat and occasionally tears go into a display. Massive amounts of thought, planning, preparation & physical effort are put into making school environments visually exciting learning places to be.
Sadly, displays rapidly become wallpaper an can struggle to keep up with the pace of learning in school. They become the walls and sometimes stay up longer than anyone really wants sometimes because taking them down is a mammoth effort that can be a health hazard with half-removed staples being a hazard.
So we thought, why not start a bit of a revolution in school displays & notice boards? We need display areas that are resilient but flexible & that give us something 365 days a year both in & outdoors. Now with outdoor spaces being so important, we're really excited that the frameless finished boards with 5 Year finish can actually live outdoors too!
We asked Gary the graphic designer to create some lovely timeless designs that would make any wall look cool. We got rid of the need for staples & magnetised everything in sight!
We sincerely hope you'll love the breath of fresh air that they'll bring to your walls & just for an extra bit of shine you get your school name on the board for free :)
Blippit® Boards App
With subject leadership being a pretty big deal in schools again we wanted to do something to help too incorporating our Boards. We've built a brand new soon-to-be available Blippit® Boards service with a free companion app, designed with the input of schools & leaders that we hope you'll like.
