Personalised Autograph Books for Year 11 Leavers – From School Shots

Saying goodbye to school is one of the most significant milestones in a young person’s life. At School Shots, we help Year 11 leavers preserve those memories with our professionally designed, fully personalised autograph books, also known as comment books or memories books.

Our books are more than just keepsakes – they’re heartfelt time capsules packed with laughter, signatures, and messages that students will treasure for years to come. With options to include your school logo on the front page, plus premium school photography for the leavers ball, we offer a complete, memory-rich package for schools across the UK.


What Is a School Leavers Autograph Book?

A leavers autograph book is a specially designed booklet where Year 11 students collect written messages, doodles, quotes, and signatures from their classmates, teachers and support staff. It’s a beautiful way to document their final year and leave school with more than just a shirt full of scribbles.

At School Shots, we take the traditional concept and elevate it with:

  • A fully personalised cover (school name, year, and optional student names)
  • Your school logo on the front page
  • Inspirational prompts and memory-jogging questions
  • High-quality printed pages
  • A choice of covers, layouts, and colours

Also known as a comment book or memories book, this product is the perfect gift to mark the end of an era for your Year 11 students.


Perfect for Year 11 Leavers Celebrations & Leavers Balls

End-of-year events are some of the most highly anticipated moments in a student’s journey. Whether you’re organising a shirt-signing day, assembly, or full-blown leavers ball, our autograph books bring an added sense of occasion and reflection.

Combine with School Photography for Leavers Ball

Why not make it even more memorable? Our team offers professional school photography for leavers balls, with elegant portraits, fun group shots, and even a photo booth experience. These images can even be printed inside the memories book as a keepsake.

Whether you’re planning a leavers day celebration or a black-tie ball, combining your event with School Shots’ comment books and photography ensures your students walk away with more than just memories – they leave with a professionally presented, tangible collection of them.
