Back to School Interview & Memory Book — A Keepsake for the Whole School Year

Some memories are too good to lose. The nervous wobble on the first morning, the name of the teacher who made everything feel okay, the answer to "what do you want to be when you grow up" that's guaranteed to change by Christmas — this printable Interview & Memory Book gives you a beautiful, simple place to hold onto all of it.

Unlike most of my printables, this one isn't designed for the laminator. It's meant to be filled in gradually, written in, drawn in, and kept. Print it once at the start of the school year, and let your little one add to it whenever the moment feels right — with as much or as little help from you as they need.

And because it's a printable rather than a physical book, one purchase goes further than you'd think: print a fresh copy every September, from Reception right through to Year 6, and build a whole collection that shows exactly how your child has grown, year on year.

What's in the pack (25 pages):

The book takes your child from the very first day of school through to the very last, with pages for a "This Is Me" interview, favourite things, a family page, a gentle before-school feelings check-in, first day details and photo spots, a teacher interview, a classroom drawing page, a new friends page, a dream job page, goals for the year, a handprint page, a Books I Read This Year tracker, a My Best Memories page, an Awards spot, an End of School reflection, a Last Day of School page, a beginning-versus-end-of-year growth tracker, a 100 Book Challenge reading log, a School Journey reflection page, a photo collage page, a friends' autograph page, and a closing "You Did It!!" page.

Formats included:

This download includes both A4 and US Letter sized PDFs, so it prints perfectly at home wherever you're based.

How to use it:

1. Download and print at the start of the school year

2. Keep it somewhere handy — a folder, a binder, or simply loose on the side

3. Fill in a page whenever you have a spare five minutes together

4. Add photos, drawings, handprints and autographs as the year unfolds

5. Keep the finished book forever as a genuine keepsake

Why parents and teachers love it:

- It captures a whole school year, not just a single day

- Simple, guided prompts mean there's no pressure to be "good at scrapbooking"

- The growth tracker and reading log give it value that builds across the year, not just at the start

- Comes in A4 and US Letter, so it works for UK, US and international families

- Designed by a former nursery nurse, with prompts that feel emotionally safe for little ones to answer

- Makes a genuinely thoughtful gift for grandparents, new starters, or as an end-of-year class keepsake

- One purchase, includes every school year — print it fresh each September and build a full collection from Reception to Year 6
