The History of Leavers Hoodies for Hartland Hoodies

July 29, 2024

Leavers hoodies have become a cherished tradition in schools across the UK and beyond, symbolising the end of school life and the beginning of new adventures. These hoodies are not just casual wear but are packed with memories of school years.

Origins of leavers hoodies

The concept of leavers hoodies likely originated as a casual and modern twist on the traditional yearbooks found in American high schools, becoming popular in the UK in the late 20th century. These hoodies typically feature the graduation year and names of all class members, making them personalised memorabilia that students treasure beyond their school years.

What about Hartland Hoodies?

Hartland Hoodies, created by Sophie English, provides high-quality, custom leavers hoodies. Founded out of a personal struggle with organising her daughter's Year 6 leavers hoodies when she was on the PTA, Sophie leveraged her background in product marketing and a decade-long experience in promotional products to streamline and enhance the process of organising personalised school leavers hoodies.

More than just a hoodie

At Hartland Hoodies, leavers hoodies are seen as a way to grow your school spirit and commemorate a student's school journey. We offer a wide range of hoodies for Year 6 and Year 11 students, available in 24 colours and various sizes. Each hoodie is designed to be cosy, durable, and stylish, aligning with the needs of young adults transitioning from school to college or even celebrating the end of university life.

Community and support

Beyond providing a keepsake, Hartland Hoodies is committed to supporting UK schools. They contribute to school funds by offering a minimum of 5% commission on sales, and they provide a complimentary hoodie which can be used for pupil premium students or for any fundraising efforts. Helping schools to not only strengthen their school community ties but also to support any educational initiatives.
