Class of 2026 leavers' yearbook
A Year 11 leavers' yearbook for the class of 2026, from collecting the content to printed books.
The situation
The school told us that collating and sharing the content for their yearbook had been more complicated with providers they had used before. They booked the 2026 book with us in June 2025.
What we did
We set up one shared folder structure and sent the school a full list of the content and photograph specifications we needed. The art department received a specification for the cover artwork: colour space, resolution, bleed and safety margins.
Around 550 pupil photographs were renamed and sorted into form folders. A further 466 files from fourteen trip and event folders were sorted from the school's photo archive.
The book includes timeline spreads going back to Year 7, form, house and event pages, and a composite image of the whole class of 2026. A full proof and a sign-off document went to the school in March 2026, and the school's proof-read amendments, including 23 replacement pupil photographs, were made within days.
We checked a single printed proof copy before the full run, sent print-ready files to the printer in April and managed the run through to dispatch in May 2026.
The outcome
The first books reached the school in April 2026 and the last box was dispatched in May. The school booked its 2027 leavers' yearbook the same day the first books arrived.

Sam worked his magic on our Year 11 Leavers Yearbooks this year. They look incredible! From start to finish, Sam communicated brilliantly with us. The collation and sharing of all the content for the yearbook was easy and so much less complicated than other providers we had historically used. We cannot recommend Hankin Digital enough and have already signed up for next year's leavers already!
