Leaving primary school gift: mark the end of an era
Primary school is done. Years of learning, dozens of teachers, hundreds of memories, and suddenly there’s a child in front of you heading to secondary school. That deserves more than a card.
A personalized children’s book is a gift that captures this moment. Something to pick up in ten years and laugh about who they were back then.
Who is this gift for?
From parents to the child: Celebrate this milestone with a book about the adventure ahead. Secondary school, new friends, new chances. Weave that into a story featuring your child’s name and appearance.
From the class to the teacher: After years as a primary school teacher, the Year 6 teacher deserves something special too. Make a book with all the class names in it, or with the teacher as the hero of the story.
From friends to each other: Sometimes best friends end up at different secondary schools. A book as a memory of their primary school years, with both names in it, is something they’ll genuinely keep.
Story ideas
- “[Name] and the great adventure ahead”: optimistic, looking to the future
- “The last day of Year 6”: nostalgic, looking back on the best memories
- “[Name] starts secondary school”: light-hearted and funny about the big jump
- “Six years in six pages”: one page per year, with fun milestones
When to order?
Year 6 leavers’ season falls in June/July. Allow 3–5 business days for delivery and order before the end of May if you want to be certain.
Tip: Add a photo of the child from their first year and one from now. Reference both in the story as “then and now”. Guaranteed tears from the parents.
