Best School Leavers' Gift Ideas For The Class Of Summer 2020

With many children across the UK not attending school at the moment due to COVID-19, kids across the country will be missing out on their last days of that all-important summer term.

For some, this will be a more poignant absence; after all, some pupils will be starting at new schools after the summer holidays, meaning they will most likely have missed out on their chance to say goodbye to classmates and teachers.

Similarly, older children who are finishing Year Eleven or Sixth Form this summer will have missed out on all sorts of milestone occasions, from proms to receiving exam results.

#3 Choose Autograph Books For Leavers' Messages

No, it's not quite the same as writing on each other's school shirts on the last day of term - but why not order branded notebooks for your students to use as autograph books?

You could even take things one step further and get relevant members of staff to write in the notepads before presenting or posting them to pupils, meaning the recipients will have some heart-warming messages to read the moment they receive them. Sweet and simple - what's not to like?
