Education Design and Branding Agency

Education design with 16 years in the sector.

We’re an education design agency based in Tamworth, Staffordshire, working with nurseries, schools, academy trusts, FE colleges and universities across the Midlands and beyond. We do branding, prospectus design, websites, signage, motion graphics and campaign materials. We’ve been doing it for 16 years.

Education is a competitive space. Whether you’re a school going through a rebrand, a trust building a consistent identity across multiple sites, or a college running a student recruitment campaign, the pressure to stand out is real.

The problem is that most education teams are stretched. There’s no time to brief three agencies, manage a slow creative process, or explain for the fifth time why the logo needs to work on a sports kit and a parent newsletter. You need someone who already understands the sector, hits the ground running, and produces work you’re genuinely proud of.

That’s where we come in.

We’ve been working with education providers across the Midlands for 16 years. From nurseries and independent schools through to FE colleges and universities. We understand how decisions get made, what governors and marketing leads are looking for, and what good actually looks like in education design.

Who we work with:

  • Nurseries and Early Years
  • Schools and Academies
  • Academy Trusts
  • Private and Independent Schools
  • Further Education
  • Higher Education
  • Colleges
  • Universities

Who we work with

Nurseries and Early Years

Parents make decisions quickly and emotionally. Your brand needs to communicate warmth, safety, and professionalism from the first impression. Whether that’s your logo, your website, or the welcome pack families receive on their first visit, every touchpoint matters.

Schools and Academies

A school’s brand touches everything. Prospectuses, signage, uniforms, social media, and the welcome board at the front gate. We help schools and academies build consistent, considered identities that reflect their values and make the right impression on prospective parents and pupils.

Academy Trusts

Multi-academy trusts have a specific challenge. Each school needs to feel individual, but the trust needs a coherent overarching identity that ties them together. We’ve worked through exactly this kind of problem and know how to get the balance right.

Private and Independent Schools

Independent schools are selling something premium. The brand has to reflect that without feeling stiff or outdated. We help independent schools present themselves in a way that’s confident, distinctive, and right for their audience.

Colleges and Further
Education

FE colleges are competing for school leavers, adult learners, apprenticeship candidates, and employer partnerships all at once, often with audiences who respond very differently. We produce branding, websites, prospectuses, and campaign materials that work across all of them.

Universities and Higher Education

Universities need a design that works at scale. From department-level campaign materials to institution-wide brand refreshes, we understand how to navigate the layers of approval and stakeholder complexity that come with HE without letting it slow everything down.

Brand Identity

From a full rebrand to a refresh of what you’ve already got, we build identities that are genuinely distinctive, properly considered, and flexible enough to work across everything you produce. That includes logo, colour palette, typography, imagery guidelines, and a brand guidelines document that your whole team can actually use.

Birmingham City University Social Ad

Website and Social Media Design

Your website is usually the first serious impression a prospective parent, student, or employer gets of your institution. We design and build websites that are clear, fast, and accessible, centred on what your audience needs to find. Not just what looks good in a screenshot.

Motion Graphics and Video

Education is a visual sell. Open days, social media, prospectus supplements, and course explainers. Motion graphics and video bring your institution to life in a way static design can’t. We create content that works across your digital channels and doesn’t look like it was made in-house on a Friday afternoon.

Hymers College Prospectus Spread

Print and Prospectus Design

Prospectuses, open day packs, parent guides, and course brochures. Print still matters in education, particularly at key decision points in the academic calendar. We design print materials that accurately reflect your brand and perform well in the moments that count.

Signage and Environmental Design Education

The physical environment is part of the brand experience, too. From entrance signage and wayfinding through to classroom graphics and event banners, we make sure what people see when they walk through the door matches what they saw online.

Campaign Materials

Student recruitment campaigns, open day promotions, and fundraising appeals. We produce campaign materials across print, digital, and social that are designed around a clear objective, not just a brief to make something look nice.

Over a decade of projects across nurseries, schools, academy trusts, colleges, and universities. Here’s a small selection.

How we work

2. Strategy and messaging

Before any design work begins, we make sure the foundations are right. Positioning, tone of voice, core messages. The stuff that makes every piece of communication feel consistent, whether it’s a social post or a printed prospectus.

3. Creative development

We work collaboratively and keep you involved. Nothing should come as a surprise. Concepts are presented clearly, feedback is taken seriously, and we work through revisions without drama.

A design agency that understands education…

We’re an agency that lists education as one of the sectors we work in. It’s genuinely one of the areas we know best. We understand the pressures on marketing and communications teams in schools and colleges. We know how to produce work that satisfies governors, senior leadership, and the parents or students you’re actually trying to reach.

If you’re based in Staffordshire, the West Midlands, or anywhere across the Midlands, we’d be glad to have a conversation about what you’re working on.

Q: What does an education design agency do?

An education design agency handles the creative work that schools, colleges, academy trusts and universities need to communicate with their audiences. That covers branding and identity, prospectuses and print design, websites, signage, motion graphics, and student recruitment campaigns. The remit is broad because educational institutions need to design across many touchpoints, from the welcome board at the front gate to the social ads targeting school leavers.

Q: Do you work with academy trusts?

Yes. Multi-academy trusts have a specific brief: each school needs to feel individual, but the trust needs a coherent identity that ties them together. We’ve worked through exactly that kind of problem. Clients include Great Academies Education Trust.

Q: Do you design school prospectuses?

Prospectus design is one of our core services. We design prospectuses, open day guides, course brochures and parent packs for schools, colleges and universities. Print still matters in education, particularly at key decision points in the academic calendar, and we know how to make it work hard.

Q: Where are you based and what areas do you cover?

We’re based in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Most of our education clients are in the Midlands. Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham. We also work nationally where the project fits.
