Leavers Shirts: The Perfect Keepsake for Your School Year

At Print Kahf, based in Nottingham and proudly serving schools across the UK, we know how important it is to mark the end of your school journey with something memorable. That’s where leavers shirts come in. These customised shirts aren’t just a stylish piece of clothing—they’re a snapshot of your school memories, friendships, and shared experiences.

Whether you're in Year 6, Year 11, or Year 13, a leavers shirt is the perfect way to celebrate the transition from one chapter of life to the next. In this blog, we’ll explore why leavers shirts are more popular than ever, what customisation options you have, and how you can get started on designing your own with Print Kahf.

Why Leavers Shirts Are a UK School Tradition

Leavers shirts have become a staple tradition in UK schools like Fernwood school in Nottingham. Similar to leavers hoodies and leavers jumpers, they provide students with a way to capture the memories of their final year. But shirts offer a lighter, more versatile alternative that's perfect for warmer months or to be worn underneath other layers. They are also much more affordable.

Students love the idea of collecting signatures and messages from friends directly on their shirts, turning each one into a unique, personal time capsule. Parents, too, appreciate them as a keepsake of their child’s school journey.

Making Your Leavers Shirt Stand Out

At Print Kahf, we make it easy to create a custom design that everyone in your year group will love. Using our templates and expert design team, you can choose from a range of shirt colours, fonts, and layout options.

Some of the most popular design features for leavers shirts include:

• School crest or logo on the front

• The year (e.g., "Class of 2025") in bold text

• Full list of student names printed inside the numbers

• Personalised names or nicknames on the back or sleeve

We also offer embroidery options for schools that want a more premium, long-lasting finish. Visit our embroidery page to see how you can elevate your shirt design.

From Shirts to Hoodies: Leavers Wear Options

While leavers shirts are a fantastic standalone choice, many schools opt to offer a full leavers wear package, including leavers hoodies. For those graduating in the next academic year, check out our full collection of leavers hoodies 2025. Hoodies are a great way to complement your leavers shirt, especially for winter terms or casual weekends.

By combining both items, you give students the flexibility to express their school pride in different ways and at different times of year.
