DIVIDER PAGES

Divider pages are a really good way of splitting up your yearbook into different sections.
Perhaps you would like to separate your profile sections into form groups? Or have your collage pages themed by content? There are so many different possibilities!

They're also a great way of getting creative - you can use text heavy pages, simple photos, or perhaps an inspirational quote.








































OTHER PAGES
Your yearbook is a great place to record all of the trends, fads and news stories which took the world by storm while you were at school.


It's also a good place to collect baby photos, question the year group on their favourite moments, and of course include the all important poll and award winners!

Isn't it weird how we are all the same age in this year group?

We're loving... Second hand shopping
House plants Succulents

and

Pets!
It's estimated by the PDSA that 51% of UK adults own a pet. It's thought that there are currently around 9.6 million pet dogs (as of 2021).

Dog ownership rocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many households introducing furry family members during lockdown.
We are all trying to be more sustainable, the second hand clothing market consists of thrift stores and resale platforms. It is the latter which has enabled the recent boom in second hand shopping!

Hats Bucket
It was a trend no one saw coming, but the 90s are back... in the shape of a bucket hat.
Whether you are venturing out to a festival, or just want to cover your hair, there's a bucket hat for every occasion.

Iced Coffee The Great Outdoors

Whether it is just hiking for the day or traveling in a camper van for a few months, the Pandemic has given renewed respect for getting out into the countryside.

During the next year, city dwellers, from families with young children, to retirees, will continue to move to greener pastures.
fashion 80s Harry Styles
From bold hairdos to loud makeup, bright pastels and other undying retro essentials - think mullets, vintage long skirts, polka dots, leather jackets and huge buckled belts. We love Stranger Things and for it bringing back the 80s fashion trends.

TESTIMONIALS















DON'T ONLY TAKE OUR
"EF International Academy
Thank you! It was lovely working with you and thank you for making the process so easy and quick.
" St Conleth's
"All positive from my side- was a wonderful, collaborative experience with a great outcome for our students. I will definitely be signing back up in September.
Finborough School" WORD FOR IT...
Thanks so much for our yearbooks we LOVED them. I can’t tell you how happy we were with them. We had the hardback ones and they just looked amazing, we were so pleased with the comic book design front cover, which was perfect for year 6 and having our school shield on it really personalised it. You guys were so easy to work with, solving every query so easily over the phone in an instant, I cannot recommend you enough to anyone thinking of a yearbook or similar project. I also love the fact the the children just get access to their profile, so they cannot make alterations that affect the entire project. My top tip to anyone would be start early, get the amazing
discount and add your photos when the events happen throughout the year and then there is no last minute stress. What a great set up you have, top job!
They are brilliant, once again; thank you for all your help and support, it has been a pleasure to work with you. You really have made this quite stressful task so much easier. I am so impressed with how user-friendly the website is, even for someone not as computer-savvy as our students. The speed with which you respond to any queries is exceptional, as is the way you organise page layouts on our behalf. The finished product looks amazing and has been welcomed with enthusiasm and total pleasure by our student team. I have already recommended you to next year’s team.




















Everyone was delighted... lots of compliments on the book. Thank you again for all your assistance with producing this excellent quality.

""Just wanted to let you know we have received the yearbooks. We are delighted with them, thank you so much. Such an easy process and system to use, will definitely be recommending you to future leavers! Thanks so much.
Shiplake Primary School
"We just wanted to say how pleased all the children were with their yearbooks. They were absolutely delighted with them – as were the parents! I was also impressed with the printing and delivery schedule being kept to so accurately so that our books did arrive on the last day of term as promised. We’ll certainly recommend you to next year’s Year 6.
