Noticeboards & Classroom Display Boards

Our classroom display boards and noticeboards give you a practical, durable surface for showcasing pupils' work, sharing key information, or organising a busy classroom wall. Alongside options built for corridors and meeting rooms, we stock felt, cork and tamperproof boards specifically suited to classroom use — easy to pin, quick to update, and available in a wide range of colours to match your school's branding or year group scheme.

Choosing classroom display boards

Felt noticeboards are the most popular choice for classroom display boards, giving a soft, easy-pin surface for pupils' work and topic displays. Cork boards offer a similar pinboard feel with a more natural finish. For busier areas like corridors or shared spaces, tamperproof and lockable options keep displays secure, while fire-rated boards (Resist-a-Flame®) meet safety requirements for school corridors and communal areas.

Why schools choose Chequered Fox for display boards

As with the rest of our classroom furniture and resources, we offer free space planning to help you choose the right size, colour and layout for your walls, plus free gold service delivery so your boards arrive ready to mount and use.

Display Board FAQ's

What's the best display board for a classroom?

Felt noticeboards are the most common choice for classroom display boards — they're lightweight, easy to pin into, and available in a wide range of colours to suit different year groups or subjects. Cork boards are a good alternative if you prefer a more natural, textured finish.

Do classroom display boards need to be fire-rated?

Fire-rated (Resist-a-Flame®) boards are recommended for corridors, communal areas, and anywhere with higher footfall, in line with school fire safety requirements. Individual classroom walls typically have more flexibility, but it's worth checking your school's own fire safety policy.

Can classroom display boards be tamperproof or lockable?

Yes — tamperproof and lockable noticeboards are available for areas where boards need extra protection, such as corridors, shared spaces, or public-facing noticeboards, while still giving you an easy way to update the display when needed.
