One important note
Keep it kind, safe and school-appropriate.
Awards, superlatives and quotes are wonderful — but they live in a book that pupils will read in twenty years. Run anything that names specific pupils past a teacher first.
Avoid anything embarrassing, anything that singles a pupil out negatively, anything that won’t age well. The cohort that reads the book at the ten-year reunion will thank you.
