Whiteboards For Schools

Our whiteboards for schools are designed to support visual learning and classroom interaction, whatever the space or subject. From large wall-mounted boards for whole-class teaching to portable handheld versions for group work, we stock a range of sizes and formats to suit every classroom. Easy to clean, reusable and built to withstand daily use, they're a practical, cost-effective choice for busy educational settings.

Choosing whiteboards for your classroom

The right whiteboard depends on how your classroom uses it. Magnetic whiteboards let teachers combine writing with printed resources and manipulatives, while non-magnetic laminate boards are a lighter, budget-friendly option for general use. For classrooms with limited wall space, revolving or mobile whiteboards make it easy to switch between writing surfaces without losing floor area. Glass whiteboards and whiteboard walls offer a sleeker, more durable finish for high-traffic areas like corridors or shared teaching spaces.

FAQ's


What size whiteboard is best for a classroom?

For whole-class teaching, a wall-mounted whiteboard of at least 1200mm x 900mm gives enough space to write clearly and display visual aids. Smaller boards work well for group work stations, breakout spaces, or SEND settings where a more compact surface is easier to manage.


Magnetic or non-magnetic whiteboard for schools?

Magnetic whiteboards are the better choice if teachers want to combine writing with magnetic letters, numbers, or printed resources — useful in primary and early years settings. Non-magnetic laminate boards are lighter and typically more affordable, and work well for secondary classrooms where the board is mainly used for writing and diagrams.


How do I mount a whiteboard in a classroom safely?

Wall-mounted whiteboards should be fixed securely into a wall stud or solid backing, at a height that suits the age group using the room — lower for early years and primary, higher for secondary. Our space planning service can help you work out the right height and position before you order, and our delivery team can fit boards on-site as part of the free gold service.
