Safeguarding With Window Graphics

How Window Graphics Improve Safeguarding in Schools (The Simple, Practical Guide)

Schools today are under more pressure than ever to create safe, welcoming environments for pupils, staff, and parents. One of the easiest and most effective ways to improve safeguarding—without major building work—is through safeguarding window graphics.

At Project School, we install bespoke one-way vision window graphics that protect privacy, brighten dull spaces, and help schools meet modern safeguarding expectations. Here’s how they work and why more schools are switching to them in 2025.



1. Instant Privacy From the Outside (Without Blocking Light)

Traditional blinds get damaged, gather dust, and block natural light. One-way vision graphics solve all of this instantly:

  • You can see out

  • Outsiders can’t see in

  • Classrooms stay bright

  • The school feels open, not closed off

For safeguarding, privacy is essential—especially around:

  • Reception areas

  • Classrooms facing public footpaths

  • Nursery spaces

  • Staff rooms

  • Internal corridors with large glass panels

Our window vision designs keep children safe while keeping the space airy and open.

2. Dramatically Improves the Look of Your School

Safeguarding doesn’t need to look clinical. We specialise in turning plain glass into:

  • Colourful curriculum-themed artwork

  • Nature scenes

  • Shapes and patterns

  • School mottos

  • Warm, friendly graphics for early years

  • Clean, modern designs for primary & secondary

It doubles as protection + design upgrade.
Schools get privacy and a visual transformation—without repainting halls or refitting classrooms.

3. A Strong Deterrent for Unwanted Attention

Clear windows invite attention. Covered windows reduce it.

One-way graphics help:

  • Prevent outsiders looking into classrooms

  • Reduce distraction from passing students or public traffic

  • Keep sensitive areas shielded

  • Ensure children remain the priority, not passers-by

For schools on main roads or busy estates, this makes a massive difference.

4. Helps Schools Meet Modern Safeguarding Standards

Ofsted and safeguarding leads increasingly expect:

  • Clear visual boundaries

  • Private areas protected

  • Dignity for pupils

  • Secure, protected entry points

Safeguarding window graphics tick all of these boxes without any structural changes.

We work with:

  • Nurseries

  • Primary Schools

  • SEND schools

  • Academies

  • Trusts

  • Behavioural units

Each design is bespoke, matching the school’s needs and environment.

5. Quick Installation With No Disruption

Most projects are completed:

  • During school hours or after school

  • With minimal interruption to staff or pupils

  • During the holidays

Our on-site workflow keeps everything clean, fast, and safe. We remove old vinyls, prep the glass properly, and install with precision.


6. Cost-Effective Compared to Traditional Refurbs

Schools often assume safeguarding improvements are expensive. Window graphics actually offer one of the cheapest transformations.

You get:

  • Privacy

  • Design

  • Safeguarding compliance

  • Brighter spaces

  • Longer-lasting visuals

…for a fraction of what building work would cost.

Prices vary depending on the area, but we always work with your budget and provide clear breakdowns.


7. Weatherproof, Durable, and Easy to Replace

Our materials are:

  • Waterproof

  • UV-resistant

  • Fade-resistant

  • Easy to clean

  • Long-lasting
