Primary Yearbook Info Pack

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your interest in our primary yearbook package. We’ve been producing yearbooks for over 20 years and have used our experience to put together a first rate package which gives students a beautiful memento of their primary school days, without requiring huge amounts of input from the school or parents!

If you need any additional information, or need help with putting your book together please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team on 0121 454 9441 or at team@wave-ed.co.uk

5. Collect the individual profiles from the children and take individual profile photos, or use the photos that the school has on file.

6. Go over the checklist on pages 4 and 5 for each of the feature pages and collect any content that you need to complete those sections.

To collect the profiles either complete and photocopy the pro-forma on page 55 of this book, or speak to your adviser about how we can help to collect this information online. If you collect this information online, you will need to proof read and correct the statements prior to submitting them to us. If you are collecting this information by hand you simply need to type it into a spreadsheet, which we will provide (just let us know the headings you have chosen). This gives you a great opportunity to proof read and correct as appropriate!

PAGE STYLES

EXAMPLES

Over the next few pages you will see eight styles that we have created specifically for the primary package. You can choose any of these styles for your book and adapt them to suit your school or preferred colour scheme. Each style shown consists of a cover, staff message page and an example profile page. Once you have chosen which style you would like to use for your introduction and profiles, please choose which feature pages you would like to use in your book.

BESPOKE DESIGNS

If you don’t want to use any of these styles, that’s no problem either. If you have a theme you would like us to design around or something you would like us to match the design to, let us know and we will create something to your specification. A bespoke design adds £3 per book.
