A Print Checklist for Schools & Colleges
The end of the summer term might signal a well-deserved break for students and teachers, but for school administrators, it’s one of the busiest times of the year. Preparing for the new academic year involves a mountain of planning, and ensuring all your print materials are ready is a crucial part of a smooth start.
To help you get organised, we’ve put together a print checklist for the essential items your school or college will need for the new year.
- Prospectuses and Welcome Booklets
For new students and their parents, the prospectus or welcome pack is their first detailed introduction to your institution. A professionally designed and printed booklet that is clear, engaging, and reflects your school’s values makes a fantastic first impression and serves as a vital source of information.
- Open Day & Welcome Banners
Whether you’re welcoming a new intake in September or planning an open day for prospective students, a large, vibrant banner is essential. A well-placed roller banner in your reception area or a durable PVC banner at the school gates creates a welcoming and professional atmosphere from the moment visitors arrive.
- Updated School Stationery
The start of a new academic year is the perfect time to restock your official stationery. Ensure you have a consistent and professional supply of branded letterheads, compliment slips, and appointment cards ready for all your communications with parents, suppliers, and the wider community.
- Planners, Timetables & Internal Signage
Don’t forget the day-to-day essentials. From printed wall planners for staff rooms to updated timetables and internal wayfinding signage, having these materials ready before term starts helps everyone feel organised and prepared.
