Primary School Digital Signage
Nowhere does digital signage work better. Under 11’s love having their photos on ‘TV’ and creating a buzz around having an in-house digital signage system is easy, making it the de-facto place to look for all school information.
By providing unlimited digital signage software to Primary Schools, Sedao make it possible to get the best from digital signage by re-enforcing reception area messages through putting them on projectors in dining areas, in corridors, next to staff coffee machines and on every PC in the school.
With a Sedao site license you show the Head Teachers’ messaging during reception and breaks then switch to the computers normal use for lessons.

ImageFlyer Digital Signage Player
Digital signage lets modern screens work overtime for your school. Our unique ImageFlyer software lets a screen show multiple zones of entertainment as well as messages from multiple members of staff at the same time.
If this example were in your reception area it would simultaneously: impress and entertain visitors, make pupils aware of the time, engage pupils with photos of after school events and show individual messages from the Head Teacher, receptionist and canteen manager. Modern screens don’t have to be TV’s in reception. Your interactive white boards are all digital signage screens waiting to be used.

Photo Slide Shows
Nothing grabs kid’s attention more than photos of themselves on screen. Nothing promotes after school activities better than photos of the events. That’s why ImageFlyer plays out unlimited photo zone slide shows, with a selection of effects. If you need to put slide shows of every class at sports day simply add multiple zones of photos.
Play live TV or movies

“We are delighted with our new Sedao Digital Signage screens, as well as the service and advice we received from Accurate AV. The screens give a great visual impact to our reception areas and are really easy to use... after a brief set up and training session, we were up and running and able to create some really professional looking screens!”

About Sedao and Digital Signage
Sedao are the leading digital signage software provider to the UK education sector having been in business since 2004 with over 1000 schools using the product including primary, secondary and universities.
The primary school TV package was introduced in June 2009 as a direct result of our annual exhibition at the BETT show in London. This is the major education IT show where we have been exhibiting every year since January 2005.
Sedao is the ONLY cost effective solution for primary schools in the world.
Why Primary Schools need Digital Signage
Schools need to improve communications with students, teachers and parents in a manner which saves staff time rather than taking up more of it. Primary schools can’t use loud speakers, email, mobile phones etc. The best way is to use the dozens of PCs screens they have in school as an in house school information TV channel.
If you put photos of children on a big ‘TV’ in a reception area they think they are on telly and it becomes a talking point. If the photos are surrounded by messages like ‘the menu in the canteen’, the details of after school clubs, cancelled event information, health and safety, BIG clock and more then it becomes the de facto school information board.
In short it improves communications in a system which should be simpler and easier to update than writing, printing and handing out newsletters. The more screens it is on the more effective it is.
Sedao’s proposition lets EVERY PC in the school be used this way for less than 1/3 of the cost of a SINGLE competitive offering.
