PRIDE Academy

The PRIDE Academy is a secondary special school supporting students with social, emotional and mental health needs, helping them reconnect with education and build towards successful futures.

The PRIDE Academy needed window graphics that created a welcoming, inspiring environment for students, many of whom had difficult experiences of school before arriving at the academy.

We designed and installed contravision window graphics that brought colour, energy and personality to the school’s exterior. Contravision was the right material for the brief, bold and vibrant from the outside while still allowing plenty of natural light through for the students and staff working within. A solution that was as practical as it was visually impactful.

The finished graphics carry the PRIDE Academy’s identity with confidence across the full exterior, creating an immediate visual statement that reflects everything the school stands for. Purposeful, positive and designed to make the right impression before anyone even steps inside.

Interior wall graphics

The PRIDE Academy needed large-scale wall graphics across different areas of the building, each with its own purpose and character, all designed to inspire and support students with social, emotional and mental health needs.

The challenge was to create graphics that were not just visually striking but genuinely useful, helping students identify different areas of the building while creating an environment that felt motivating and positive to be in. We combined hand-drawn elements with photo imagery to bring movement and energy to each design, ensuring every graphic resonated with the specific themes and objectives of the space it occupied, from the entrance and corridors through to the sports hall and stairwells.
