Dynamic: Term dates and form URLs can change while notices remain posted.
What to put behind the code
A public information page, or a correctly protected form managed by the school.
Print for the place it will live
Starting size: 4 × 4 cm. This is a starting point, not a scanning guarantee. Allow standing adults and wheelchair users to scan comfortably.
Use a matte noticeboard print with a visible date for review. Keep the four-module quiet zone intact and use dark modules on a light background. Read the print-size guide.
Where to place it
- Reception noticeboard
- Parent newsletter
- Event information desk
Mistakes to avoid
- Publishing student identifiers
- Assuming a QR provides access control
- Leaving last term’s form active
Before committing to a print run
Print a proof on the final material. Scan it with more than one phone, from the normal viewing position. Check the opened destination while signed out and confirm it leads to the intended page or action. A readable fallback address or contact detail helps visitors who cannot scan.
Questions about schools
Can a QR protect a private form?
No. The destination must enforce its own access controls. Anyone can copy the QR link.
What should I test before printing?
Scan the final schools artwork on more than one phone. Check the destination or imported details, the real viewing distance and the final printed surface.
