Wooden Signs, Name Badges & Awards for Schools
Personalised wooden signage, staff name badges, awards and leavers' gifts for schools, academies and nurseries — laser-engraved to order on oak veneered MDF and FSC-certified Moso bamboo in our workshop in Buckley, North Wales. A warm, durable, plastic-free alternative to the usual laminated and acrylic school signage.
We supply primary and secondary schools, academy trusts, nurseries and colleges across the UK. Orders can be placed entirely online, there is no minimum order, and bulk discounts apply automatically at checkout from 20 units.
What we make for schools
Classroom, office and reception signs
Engraved school signs for classrooms, offices, reception areas and corridors — name and subject signs, welcome signs, room and policy signs. Oak veneer or FSC bamboo, in four sizes, with optional school crest or logo.
Staff name badges and lanyards
Reusable wooden name badges for teachers, teaching assistants and office staff — smarter than printed plastic, and the engraving never fades or peels. See the full school badges and lanyards range, with magnetic, pin or lanyard fixings.
Medals, rosettes and trophies
Wooden medals, rosettes and trophies for sports day, awards assemblies and end-of-term achievements — a sustainable alternative to plastic and metal awards. Personalise with your school name, event and year.
Year 6 leavers' gifts
Personalised leavers' gifts for the end of the school year — pencil keyrings, name keyrings and keepsakes, priced per pupil with bulk discounts for whole year groups.
Materials
- Oak veneered MDF (4mm) — real oak veneer on a stable core; warm finish, crisp engraving, for indoor use. The most popular choice for school signage and badges.
- FSC-certified Moso bamboo (certificate RINA-COC-001256, held at source by our supplier) — a fast-renewing, plastic-free option for schools with a sustainability commitment. We use certified bamboo but are not ourselves an FSC certificate holder, so we don't put the FSC logo on finished items.
- All signs are for indoor use. Everything is made to order in North Wales with a free templated design service — send your text, names and crest and we set them onto our templates and send a proof.
