School Leavers Hoodies — Class of 2027, Printed in London

Leavers hoodies are the keepsake of the school year — the class year on the front, every leaver's name or nickname on the back, worn all summer and kept for decades. FabricForge prints leavers hoodies in-house in Enfield, London on the AWDis College Hoodie (JH001) — the UK's most popular hoodie blank — with durable full-colour DTF printing that survives the wash. Kids sizes age 3–16 and adult S–5XL in one order, 14 colours, no minimum quantity, and discounts on 5+ items.

Who We Print Leavers Hoodies For

• Year 6 leavers — primary school classes marking the move to secondary; kids sizes 3–16 with room to grow.
• Year 11 leavers — the GCSE year classic: "Class of 2027" front, nicknames on the back.
• Year 13 / sixth form leavers — adult sizing, often with a more designed look chosen by the year group.
• University leavers & societies — graduation years, course names, society leavers hoodies.
• Nurseries and clubs — pre-school graduations, sports club age-group send-offs.

Classic Leavers Hoodie Designs

The traditional layout: front — school name or crest with "Leavers 2027" or "Class of 2027"; back — a large '27 filled with every leaver's name or nickname. We set the names artwork for you from your class list (a simple spreadsheet or even a photo of the list is fine — we'll type it up and send a proof so every name can be checked before printing). Because we print DTF, full colour costs no more than one colour — crests, gradients and colour designs are all fine.

Sizing: Mixed Kids & Adult Orders in One Go

One class order can mix any sizes and colours: kids age 3–16 and adults S–5XL, all with the same design. For Year 6 groups we suggest ordering one size up so the hoodie still fits at Christmas. Not sure on sizes? We'll send a size chart you can circulate to parents with the order form.

Ordering for a Whole Year Group? See Our Bulk Pricing

Everything above covers single-class orders with no minimum quantity — ideal for one form or a small year group organised by a teacher or PTA. If your whole year group (100+ leavers) is ordering together, or a multi-academy trust needs consistent hoodies across several schools, our tiered bulk pricing works out significantly cheaper per hoodie — and because we print everything in-house, production is completed in as little as 2 days even at these volumes.

See our full bulk hoodie printing page for the complete pricing table, or our bulk school printing page if your trust also needs T-shirts alongside hoodies.

How School Leavers Orders Work

1. Send your class list and design idea — WhatsApp, email or the quote form. A teacher, PTA member or parent organiser usually collects names and sizes.
2. Get your quote — priced per hoodie with bulk discount applied; one collated order keeps it simple.
3. Approve the proof — we send the full design including the names-list back print. Every name gets checked before anything prints — this is the step that prevents a misspelt surname on thirty hoodies.
4. We print and deliver — in-house DTF printing in Enfield, free UK delivery in 2–4 working days, or collection from Enfield EN3 / East London E14. Same-day delivery quotes available in London for last-minute panics.

When to Order (An Honest Timeline)

Leavers season peaks May–July. Our honest advice: start collecting names in the spring term and order by late April or May for a relaxed run — that leaves time for the proof check, any size swaps and reprints if a name was missed. June orders are absolutely fine; July orders are possible but tighter. The single biggest delay in any leavers order is collecting the class list — start that early. Because we print in-house rather than relying on an overseas run, we can generally still help later than most competitors if your numbers only come together close to the date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order for leavers hoodies?

No — we print from one hoodie with no minimum, and orders of 5+ get a discount. Small classes are welcome. Whole year-group orders of 100+ move onto our cheaper tiered bulk pricing instead.

Can you mix kids and adult sizes in one order?

Yes — kids age 3–16 and adults S–5XL can be combined in a single class order, all with the same design.

How do the names on the back work?

Send us your class list (spreadsheet or photo) — we set the names inside the year numerals or as a list, and send a proof so every name is checked before printing.

How long does a leavers order take?

Once the proof is approved, printing plus free UK delivery is typically 2–4 working days. Allow extra time for collecting names and the proof check — ordering by late April or May is ideal for a July leaving date.

Can parents pay individually?

We quote and invoice one collated order to the organiser — most schools collect payment per family and place one order, which keeps sizing and names accurate.

What if a name is missed or a new pupil joins?

With no minimum order we can print single additional hoodies to match the class design at any time.

What if our whole year group is ordering together, not just one class?

From 100 hoodies upward, our tiered bulk pricing works out cheaper per hoodie — see our bulk hoodie printing page for the full pricing table.
