In schools you will find display boards that are used for many different purposes. It's important to remember when you do a display that it has a clear purpose and the headings identify this so that anyone who sees the display find it appealing and are able to understand it. In schools displays are used to provide information for pupils, staff and parents. Generally you will find specific boards are set aside in the reception area of a school to give information to parents. Staff boards will be in the staff-room to display events in schools, important messages, whereabouts of staff and playground duties rota etc. In individual classrooms you will find that the pupils work is displayed or they are used as a learning resource with a particular purpose relating to a subject as a reference to enhance pupils learning with a constant reminder.
Displays can be in many forms, they could be on a board, hanging from ceiling, window displays or laid out on a table.

Displays are also used for the following purposes -
To present information
To brighten up the environment
To prompt feedback
A learning resource
To promote a sense
Within a classroom you could display vocabulary lists in foreign language, connectives, wow words, mathematical methods used for calculations, colours, shapes, numbers, alphabet, phonic sounds, facts or reminders for pupils of important dates. Depending on current topics being taught in class, you may show different items or artefacts relating to this.

Displays should be creative to stimulate the environment and give a welcoming feeling. All children's work should be displayed and not only of those who's are well presented. When a child sees their work on display this promotes their confidence, you should label the work with the child's name and ensure it is spelt correctly.
