Whilst on half term, it’s important to keep up to date with all of the latest technology that can improve your school. With thousands of Anomaly schools why not join our ever growing network of successful schools? In this blog post we’re looking at 3 reasons to use digital signage and how it can be beneficial to your school and how it can help improve your school. Digital signage looks better
Let’s face it. Video encapsulates students better than a static image. With video you can tell a story so much better than you would with a static image. With our vast content library you’ll never be left wondering what to display on your Anomaly screen. We’ve made it simple to drag and drop videos related to key subjects which will not only entertain but will also teach pupils without them even realising. In addition to the screens playing high quality video, they can be placed in key locations where they will be seen by pupils, parents and any visitors to the school. With the addition to update messages from any device there will be no issue with communication to anyone that is at your school. Encourage active learning According to the department of education website, schools with 17 or more pupils receive £8,000 plus £5 per pupil, so for an average sized school with 200 pupils, the school will receive around £9,000. With Anomaly screens you can use the sport premium funding to invest in Anomaly technology. Our screens have content which is tailored to improve active learning at your school. Ongoing support Unlike our competitors, we offer our schools ongoing support. That means when you have a problem or an issue, we’re there every step of the way to make sure you’re happy with the Anomaly service. In addition to our in-house support team, we regularly give you a call to see you’re happy with your Anomaly equipment as well as offering you any training as and when you need it, completely free of charge. If you would like to incorporate any Anomaly technology and digital signage 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

Digital signage can sometimes be confusing. Having a vast amount of experience in it, we feel like we need to clear a few things up! In this blog post, discover the top 5 myths about digital signage. Anomaly screens can bring many benefits to your school or business. But for some, there are a lot of things that you may not know about them. To dispel some of the myths about digital signage and Anomaly screens, we’ve put together this guide to assist you in making the move to a more digital environment. Myth #1 “Creating content for the screens is difficult/expensive”
This first statement is a MYTH! With Anomaly screens you do not need to worry about content being created. We handle everything behind the scenes to make sure your screen is up to date with the most relevant content for your school or workplace. Every month we post on our blog about upcoming content for our schools. The content has been specifically designed in line with the curriculum to make sure you are getting the most out of your screens. You can take a look at the monthly content for this month by clicking here. Not only do we have an in-house design team who are constantly creating monthly content for our schools, you can also display your own messages in real time. For example, if there is an event coming up at your school, why not display it on your Anomaly screen? You can include your own images to personalize your playlist along with videos and much more. Myth #2 “We might not have enough room for digital signage” Whilst this may be true, in most cases an alternative solution can be arranged for your screens. Once you enquire about the Anomaly service we immediately book for one of our talented engineers to come to your school or site to assess the area. Once our engineer is on site, they will find a suitable area to install your Anomaly screen. The best part is, it’s no hassle to you. We handle everything and make sure to give you a stellar service that you deserve. Myth 3 “The screens don’t actually help” Out of all of the myths listed, this has to be the biggest. Our screens can help schools meet criteria set by OFSTED about community cohesion and global citizenship. Not only this, but the content shown on the screens encourages healthy living and looking after our environment. The screens also push out content relevant to the current school curriculum, so you see; we really do cover everything that is part of every school’s core values! Our content is engaging, easy to follow and is usually placed at the heart of your playground for all to see. This same myth also applies to our Anomaly Hi-Vis service. Anomaly Hi-Vis displays content which will reduce risk across your work site and comply with regulations outlined by the HSE. Myth 4 “The system is far too complex” If you find yourself using this as an excuse not to use digital signage, you’ve obviously never seen our easy to use, Anomaly Content Manager. Anomaly Content Manager makes it easy for anyone to become a master of digital signage! All you have to do is browse our video archive and drop any video you like into your playlist. Our vast video library includes content on curriculum subjects, health and keeping active. We like to keep up to date with changes and updates to the curriculum, which is why we’re always creating new content to keep our videos fresh and engaging. Anomaly content manager is quick and simple to use – you can even update messages on the go from a smart phone, desktop or tablet. Some of the videos on the system cover relevant subjects such as English, Maths, Science, IT and many more. And don’t worry if you feel a bit confused, we offer training on the system as many times as you need it. Feel free to ring the office and book a training session! Myth 5 “I will be left on my own if I have a problem” And finally moving on to myth number 5. A lot of people are often curious to what happens after they’ve had their screen installed. Making sure you’re happy with our service is one of our main priorities. That’s why we have a help desk team who are able to answer every question your may have. Not only that but we will schedule regular training dates for someone to come down and make sure everything’s going OK with your new Anomaly equipment. So how does all that sound?

In this blog post Anomaly focuses on not one, but three successful Anomaly talented schools. Read their testimonials which highlights their experiences whilst using the Anomaly services. We also have relevant content which the schools have produced. In the run up to start of term Anomaly had the pleasure of working with 3 schools all over the UK. All schools were looking to revamp their digital media strategy by installing new Anomaly screens. The first school, St Winefrides based in Bradford were looking to revamp just before their students returned. Below you’ll find a picture of the new external screen that has helped them find an alternative to help their pupils learn. You can take a look at the school’s website by clicking here.
The next school, also based in Bradford, Alton park junior school were also looking for a revamp just before the start of the school term. That’s where Anomaly came in. We were able to provide a quick and affordable solution . Here’s a picture of their external screen below: 
And finally, Great Denham Primary School, based in Bedford. We had the pleasure of returning to the school. Initially we had already installed one of our internal screens. The school enjoyed out products so much, they came back for seconds! Below you will be able to find a picture of the existing internal screen that was installed in their school. This is just one of many schools that constantly come back to use our services.

Out of all of the products and services we offer, green screens, digital signage, digital media services (the list goes on!); we’ve started noticing one becoming more and more popular with our schools. The product we’re talking about is our 55” Anomaly screen, also known as the “mummy screen”, has recently earned the title of “Anomaly’s most popular product”! Our 55” is in the middle of our size range, only exceeded by the bigger 65” “daddy screen.” Schools all over the UK have warmed to the “mummy screen” and it’s easy to see why, big enough to be noticed by passers by from a long distance, it gives it an edge on all other competitors. 
We think you’ll agree that these 55″ screens make a real impact in the playground and we can’t wait to see how the schools put them to use in celebrating pupil achievements and communicating with parents. 
At Anomaly we always get people enquiring and asking about the screens, and every single time we are happy to help. We also pride ourselves on the fact that we have a dedicated field-based support team on hand to aid our schools every step of the way. As always if you want more information about how Anomaly can improve your digital media experience be sure to give us a call on 0844 579 0880, alternatively you can drop us an email at info@anomalygroup.co.uk.
