Why Choose Photo's for Schools
Well, we offer as good a set of photographs as anyone else.
The system we use is totally cashless, no money is taken from parents at the school.
We are a local company based in Wroughton, Swindon, run by myself (Ady, complete with an enhanced DBS certificate and also experienced in high volume photography having spent time photographing graduations and schools as a freelance photographer) and my wife Rosie, so of course if you need to contact us then you know who is going to answer the phone, and you would have met us in person. I'm the one taking the photographs, Rosie is ensuring any on site admin we have is done along with guiding the children through the process, and getting the next child ready for thier photographs. So, no faceless person on the phone who is busy with many other tasks.
Like any other local company in other business we can give you the time that you and the parents of the children deserve.
We work on the assumption that the quality of service is as important as the final product. That's something we always aim to offer.
Being a small local company we are not having to pay a team of photographers, this will help us to keep prices down.
Thats the serious stuff, read about what we are offering in the way of photographs and prices.
How it works
We have 2 options -
The first option is that we arrive and set up, once we are ready (at the time agreed), children are brought to us in class order and photographed. Once the group have been photographed they return to the classroom.
A few days later, the proof cards are returned to the school packaged in class order for ease and the class teachers then give them out to children or their parents.
At this point, importantly, parents now have a solid tangible product with a photograph of their child on. They can then scan the barcode and enter an access code to access their images. We can arrange to have the images returned to the school, or sent directly to the home address.
This takes minimal time and effort from your already busy staff.
The second option is very similar to the 1st. The children are brought for their photograph, and each child is provided with their own code. This code is then handed to the child or the parent who then access the website with the code and order their photographs once they are uploaded. We can arrange to have the images returned to the school, or sent directly to the home address. A known downside to this method is children swapping codes, the parent then accesses the wrong photographs. Also, parents do not have a tangible product, so it's easy to put the code away and forget about it.
This takes minimal time and effort from your already busy staff.
So, either method keeps staff involvement to a minimum, either hand out codes, or hand out the proof cards. With either option it may be arranged to have photographs returned to the school, if the school allows, or they may be sent direct to the parents.
Prices and Benefits
I mentioned earlier that being a small local company we do not have to pay a team of photographers, this would enable us to keep prices a bit more competitive. We are also fully aware that the cost of living is getting higher at the current time, and photographs are a bit of a luxury. But parents would still like those nice images of their children. Whilst we are not going to put package prices on the website we are more than happy to discuss these with you face to face.
The same thing applies to benefits for the school, for example having use of the images for school purposes with no extra charge. Of course there are a range of options available to the school which we can discuss with you at a meeting.
We intended to be able to supply affordable photography to parents, with suitable arrangements for the school.
Other services
Of course we can cover 
- Staff Photo's
- Class Photo's
- Photo's for prospectus material
- Graduations
- School Prom
The list goes on, but whatever you need we can discuss a bepsoke session for you. Some of this can be provided free of charge, depending on circumstances.
So why not give us a call, lets have a chat and see if we can work together to bring photographs to all parents in what are trying and expensive times, and services to you and your school.
