Year 6 Leavers Gift Ideas (Personalised & Whole-Class)

The best Year 6 leavers gifts are small, personalised keepsakes each child can keep: engraved name keyrings, "You're a Star" tokens and wooden medals put every pupil's name on something lasting without costing much per child. If you are a teacher, PTA or parent organising a gift for the whole class, personalised keyrings are the usual choice: light to post home, made to order and cheaper per item once you order in bulk.

Everything below is made to order in our workshop in North Wales, and you can have a different name engraved on every item in your order.

Year 6 leavers gift ideas

• Personalised pencil keyrings — a pencil-shaped oak keyring engraved with each child's name and a Class Of or From wording, a school-themed choice for whole-class orders.
• "You're a Star" keyrings — a 55mm star-shaped keepsake personalised per pupil, a gift from teacher to class. The Class Of version adds the leaving year.
• School leavers keyrings — a 35mm birch plywood disc engraved with the school name and year, a memento of primary school.
• Wooden medals — achievement medals for sports days, awards assemblies and end-of-term celebrations.
• "You're a Star" hug tokens — a small star token with the child's name, for a pocket or pencil case.

See the full range on the school leavers gifts page.

Buying for a whole class?

A few things make ordering for an entire class or year group easier:

• A different name on every item — list the names in the personalisation box, or upload a spreadsheet, and we engrave each one individually.
• Bulk discounts applied automatically — no codes needed: 10% off from 20 items, 15% from 50, 20% from 100, 25% from 250, 30% from 500 and 35% from 1000. A class set of 30 already qualifies.
• Made to order — dispatch time is shown at checkout. Order well before you need the gifts, especially for large orders.

Gifts from teacher to pupils, and from the class to a teacher

The same keyrings and medals work both ways. Teachers give a personalised keyring to every child as a send-off, and classes club together for a keepsake for a favourite teacher. For a thank-you message, see our guide to personalised teacher keyrings.

What are they made from?

Most leavers keepsakes are engraved on 4mm FSC-certified oak veneered MDF, which gives a clean, consistent dark engrave. A few products, such as the school leavers keyring and the alphabet keyring, are available in birch plywood, which has a paler natural grain.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good Year 6 leavers gift?

A small personalised keepsake the child keeps: a name keyring, a "You're a Star" token or a wooden medal. They are inexpensive per child and meaningful, which makes them the usual whole-class choice.

What gift do you give a whole class of leavers?

Personalised keyrings with a different name engraved on each. They are light to post, made to order and qualify for automatic bulk discounts from 20 items.

How far in advance should I order?

Dispatch time is shown at checkout. Order as early as you can before the date you need them, particularly for large class orders.

Can each child have their own name on their gift?

Yes. Every item can carry a different name, listed one per line in the personalisation box or uploaded as a spreadsheet.
