Trust branding and website design & development for Harris Federation, London
London’s biggest multi-academy trust turned to us for help in building easy-to-use, reliable websites of the highest standard to unite their family of academies.

Premium Website for Manchester Grammar School
Established in 1515, The Manchester Grammar School has built a distinguished reputation as one of the top academic institutions in the country. Therefore, the school’s new website needed to mirror the high-quality nature of the institution and its long-standing tradition of excellence. One particular key feature was a dedicated section that includes a new Alumni Gallery and an Events section, which effectively show the school’s rich history and vibrant community. By blending traditional elements with a modern aesthetic, the new website effectively communicates the school’s enduring values while appealing to a new generation of students and families.
“ A huge thank you to the entire team at Cleverbox for their exceptional efficiency, attention to detail, and hard work throughout this project. The new site not only boasts a fresh design but is also significantly more accessible for mobile users, aligning with the vision of a more user-friendly experience.”
Sitara Bartle Davies, Head of Marketing and Communications
Signage for Oakwood School
Building on previous design work in Maths and MFL, the school aimed to incorporate engaging visuals into the Dance studio, Library, and Technology department. This included a mix of facts, figures, and images reflecting the curriculum. We installed colourful and creative wall wraps in the school corridors to brighten up the space and make it more inspiring. The designs not only added colour but also included educational information. The school was so happy with the outcome that they’ve asked us to create more murals for the rest of the school this academic year.
“Our experience with the design and implementation of the wall wrap project through Cleverbox has been exceptional! The team truly listened to all of our wishes, offering sensible suggestions and constructive feedback throughout the process. They were flexible and collaborative, crafting a design that beautifully linked our ideas into a creative and cohesive vision. The final designs were uniquely tailored to our school and curriculum and perfectly aligned with our branding.”

Book design, print & production for Sixth Form Colleges Association
Aimed at members of parliament and leaders in education, our brief was to craft a design that would engage, inform, and influence opinion. The rich content of essays and case studies is complimented by a clean layout and specialist photography. Together the elements form a confident and elegant publication that works to further the Sixth Form Colleges Association’s mission of promoting bestpractice sixth form education in the UK.
“We have just had our reception at the House of Commons during which we had countless comments on the design of the book. And I agree, the final product is wonderful. That is down to the skill and hard work of the Cleverbox team. Before we had our very first conversation, I had a vision of what I wanted, and I have to say that the end result has exceeded my hopes and expectations. It was great fun to be on the journey with you. Thank you!”
Bill Watkin, Chief Executive – Sixth Form Colleges Association
