Time to read: 3 minutes

As schools look forward to the close of the academic year, they prepare to bid farewell to their graduating students. It’s a time of celebration, reflection, and anticipation for the future. It pays to make this transition memorable for both children and their families, as it’s a great time to maximise your marketing opportunities and raise great funds for your school too. The departing positive feeling of your school for families means they’ll speak highly of you on their departure – all promotion that money can’t buy!

We suggest considering fantastic leavers’ gifts and activities that will leave a lasting impression on your students and their families and show your local community how much you value those in your care.

Their last ever School Photo

Commemorate this significant milestone with professional leavers photos. It’s a chance to divert from the formal photos taken every year to offering something more informal and fun which brings out the personality of each child. Consider photos in their leavers Hoodies, their own clothes, or in an area of school that is unique and will remind them of you whenever they revisit their photograph in future – maybe the building if beautiful, an iconic tree, or area of the playground they always gravitate to…

Leavers’ Hoodies

A staple in school leavers’ memorabilia, our hoodies come in a variety of designs and colours, each personalised with the student’s names and graduation year. Crafted for comfort and style, these hoodies serve as a wearable keepsake, reminding students of their cherished school days. And, by opting for our high quality garments, they’ll survive anything thrown at them – and with kids, that could be a lot!

Leavers’ Medals

Celebrate your students’ accomplishments with our custom-designed medals. Each piece is engraved with the school emblem and graduation year, providing a tangible token of their hard work and dedication. Perfect to hand to them at their leavers’ assembly along with a certificate too – they’ll love it!

Yearbooks

Compile the year’s highlights into a beautifully designed yearbook. Filled with photos, stories, and achievements, yearbooks are a collaborative project full of memories of the graduating class. Set these up early in the year, and add to it as time goes on. Our yearbook offering includes free use of our leavers photos too!

Tote Bags

With all these gifts, your leavers will need something to carry them in! Our tote bags can be designed with your School logo, replicating your leavers’ hoodies design or customised with their names. As well as giving them something to take home their belongings, workbooks and artworks, you’ll see these totes being used by parents daily around the supermarkets and shops, promoting your school without you lifting a finger!

Fundraising Opportunities

Looking to raise funds while providing memorable gifts? Most of these ideas can be offered for sale to parents, generating much needed funds for your school. It’s a way of paying forward to the next generation of children, supporting future initiatives and equipment.

At Smiles At School Photography, we understand the importance of creating lasting memories. Our range of leavers’ products and services is designed to celebrate your students’ achievements and provide them with cherished keepsakes as they embark on their next adventure.
