Primary Leavers

One of the true privileges of taking school photographs is that we get to help celebrate the important milestones in a child’s life. From the first day of school to achievements along the way, each moment is special but the end of primary school is a particularly significant one. It marks the culmination of years of learning, friendship, and growth, a moment filled with excitement, pride, and anticipation for the next chapter.

Capturing these memories allows children, teachers and families to look back and remember this milestone with joy for years to come.

Portraits

 

As one of the UK’s longest-standing school photography companies, we’ve spent generations perfecting the art of the school portrait. Our photographers bring skill, warmth and a genuine passion for capturing every child’s individuality.

We offer a range of portrait styles, from traditional formal poses to more relaxed, informal images depending on the age group.

Our Primary Leavers portraits are all about celebrating the end of an unforgettable chapter. Bright, natural and full of personality, they capture pupils just as they are at the end of their primary journey.

Every class has a story...

 

Celebrate the friendships and memories of your Primary Leavers with our Classic Group Photography. Our sessions capture the joy, camaraderie and achievements of each class, creating images that tell your school’s story.


For an extra personal touch, our Classic Group with School Name includes your school name and year proudly displayed beneath the photograph.

We also offer both formal and informal class photographs – capturing everything from the studious to the silly. Whether it’s the smiles, the friendships or the laughter, we capture the memories that make each class truly unique.

Good luck to your leavers!

 

To help celebrate your leavers, we’d love to gift you bespoke Leavers’ Cards, each featuring a collage of pupil portraits and space for teachers to hand-write a personal message.


Every card can include a QR code linking to a short video. The video could feature a teacher’s good luck message to your leavers or the class singing their favourite song!
 

The video can be created by your school at a time that suits you. Once filmed, you can either host it on your own video platform (simply share the link with us) or send it directly to us and we can host it for you. Families can then scan the QR code at home to enjoy a meaningful memory that truly brings the class to life, creating a truly memorable keepsake that celebrates your school community.
