Planning to modernise your school with smart screens but not sure how many to buy? The right number depends on the number of pupils, the layout of the building and where the pupils move around during the day. As a rule, more screens placed in the right spots means better-informed pupils and teachers.
Key locations in every school
Screens are especially worth placing here:
- Main entrance / reception — pupils can check the substitution schedule the moment they arrive.
- Main corridors and floors — high-traffic spots that most pupils pass every day.
- Staff room — teachers need an overview of timetable changes.
- Departmental offices — if these are separate, a screen improves coordination among teaching staff.
- The head’s office and administration — management has quick access to information.
Screens in a range of sizes
We offer screens in a range of sizes, so they can be installed in smaller and larger spaces alike, depending on where they’re to hang around the school.
Special-purpose spaces
Screens serve well in other places too:
- Canteen — the lunch menu and announcements about meals.
- Gym and sports facilities — changes to PE timetables and moves due to the weather.
- Covered outdoor areas — for pupils who spend their breaks outside.
- Study rooms and libraries — announcements of events and the range of seminars on offer.
- Boarding houses — information about the evening programme and timetable changes.
- Vocational workshops — tracking changes to the placement schedule for pupils and instructors.
Rough numbers of screens
- Small schools (up to 300 pupils): 3–4 screens
- Medium schools (300–800 pupils): 5–8 screens
- Large schools (800+ pupils): 8 or more screens
