Suggestions on how you can use digital signage is the topic of our most recent blog post. It’s important to make the most of your Anomaly screens as schools wind down for the summer months. Making sure you’re keeping on top of our monthly content and keeping active should be top priority during the month of June. In a previous blog post, we explained how schools can use their sport premium to explore new ideas and invest in Anomaly technology. Display relevant content As obvious as it sounds, displaying relevant content on your Anomaly screens is key to their success. It can often be difficult to constantly update the screens whilst keeping up with a busy school day. With the Anomaly content manager, it’s easy to update your Anomaly screens on the go. Got something specific you want playing? Browse and choose from hundreds of videos from our content library, or update your screens with messages relevant to what is going on at the current time. Can’t find a video on a certain subject? Get in touch with the office and our in-house graphics team can schedule to make it for you! As good as the Anomaly content manager sounds, it can also be difficult to keep up to date with it. That’s why at the end of every month we produce a blog post which outlines the content which is scheduled for the upcoming month. You can take a look at what’s been on in previous months in our blog. Promote active learning New plans by the government state that: “schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer”. In response to this, why not use Anomaly screens to promote active learning? We have content which is tailored to improve activity levels in schools. We’ve worked in partnership with UK Sports Coaching to display their content on our screens. The content is interactive so pupils can dance along with things that are happening on the screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VAvut42bNE If you would like to incorporate any Anomaly technology into your school, or find out more about our vast range of services in the education sector please do not hesitate to call us on 0844 579 0880 or alternatively you can email us on the usual address info@anomalygroup.co.uk Twitter | Facebooknews
Local news outlet, Wigan Evening Post, have recently featured Anomaly in their newspaper. Following the recent success of schools in the North West, we decided to reach out to one of our happy schools. We reached out to Marsh Green Primary school in Wigan to highlight their school for the Wigan Evening Post. In this blog post, we’re looking at their story in the newspaper. School’s message to pupils
Since Anomaly started back in 2012, we’ve had many happy schools. Marsh Green Primary School is one of the best-rated schools in the area and was recently judged as “good” by Ofsted. Inspectors hailed the headteacher and deputy head for overseeing rapid improvements in the quality of teaching over the past 18 months. We reached out to the school to write a short piece in a local news outlet. The piece talked about how Marsh Green Primary school has started utilising new technology to help with safeguarding and sharing pupils’ work with parents and visitors. The piece went in detail to talk about the Anomaly equipment and it’s benefit to the school. Headteacher of Marsh Green, Gill Leigh said: “This is a great way to celebrate children’s work and a method of sharing it with the wider community using high quality technology.” We look forward to seeing what Marsh Green Primary and our other schools will use Anomaly screens for in the future!

In this blog post Anomaly focuses on one of its successful schools, Hammersmith Academy. After being with us for over a year, Hammersmith have been kind enough to write a few words regarding the Anomaly service. Having recently renewed until 2018, we reached out to the school to highlight how successfully they have integrated our digital signage system into school life. 
Anomaly has had the pleasure of working with the Hammersmith Academy to constantly improve their existing digital infrastructure and help towards their specialisms in Creative and Digital Media and IT. Like most schools, Hammersmith are continuously pushing out digital topics at their school. In addition to constantly promoting digital topics, Hammersmith take great pride on the ability to display students’ work and accomplishments all around their school. Hammersmith are currently sporting one of our 55″ freestanding external screens. The screen is situated so students, parents and visitors can see students work. Andrew Anderson, Communications Officer at Hammersmith Academy said: “At Hammersmith Academy we are keen to display our students’ work and accomplishments in a manner worthy of our specialism – information technology and creative & digital media. With Anomaly we have been able to realise this, using their Anomaly Content Manager system to have a revolving and easy to update “HATV” channel.” On the topic of updating the screen on-the-go, Andrew said: “Through digital technology our teachers are able to upload photos and videos of day to day activity, as well as news about the various impressive achievements and successes attained by our students every week. I can quickly download photos from our various social media channels and upload these to HATV quickly and easily. This means that students can see their progress celebrated in school in real time. We also have an impressive display at the front of the school building, so that parents and visitors are greeted with an impactful visual of life at HA before they walk through the door. Anomaly are always on hand to help out with any technical issues or problems with a friendly and helpful attitude.” If you would like to incorporate any Anomaly technology into your school, or find out more about our vast range of services in the education sector please do not hesitate to call us on 0844 579 0880 or alternatively you can email us on the usual address info@anomalygroup.co.uk Twitter | Facebook

In a previous blog post we dispelled some of the myths surrounding digital signage. In that post we highlighted a common myth that people felt that they would be left in the dark if they had a problem.

That’s why we have a team who are on hand to deal with any problems you may have. In addition to our in house help desk team, we also have a team at Anomaly who will come to your school or business to train you and keep you up to date with our software and help you make the most out of your Anomaly screens.

In this blog post Anomaly focuses on one of its successful schools, South End Junior School. After recently embracing digital technology at their school, we asked South End Junior School to say a few words regarding the experience with Anomaly. Read their testimonial which highlights their experiences whilst using the Anomaly services. 
Anomaly recently had the pleasure of working with South End to improve their existing digital infrastructure. Like most schools, South End is constantly promoting e-safety at their school – this is when they approached us to see how we could help. After spending the day with our trainer, Tim, South End produced a professional video to promote the subject. The video was scripted, acted and created by the pupils of South End and after tackling this difficult subject in such a creative way, the pupils now have a firm understanding of E-safety. Georgie Lewis, Computer Expert at South End Junior School said: “Tim came for the day and spent it with ten children, who are the digital ambassadors. They independently drafted out a script in their own time together and were ready to start filming on the day with Tim.” On the topic of E-safety, Georgie said: “The message the children were given as a brief for them to then have free reign on what ‘E-Safety’ was and how we could promote it further in our school. Tim was very welcoming and warm towards the children and they were very at ease around him. He explained all the equipment and the timetable of the day to them clearly. We loved our day with him and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for him when we have our next filming day with Anomaly.” Below you will be able to find the video that South End Junior School created. We think it’s brilliant and promotes e-safety in a very positive light.
