What students wear has a real impact on how professional the final images look — a few clear guidelines make a noticeable difference across a whole school’s photos.

Full team or house kit

Full, correctly worn sport uniform or house colours — the version students actually compete in, not a training variant, where the two differ. Consistency across a squad matters more than any single detail.

One standard per team

Photos look considerably more professional when every student in a squad is dressed the same way — same kit variant, same accessories. Mixing training wear and match kit within the same team creates an inconsistent set of images that undermines an otherwise well-run day.

Grooming and small details

Hair tidy, and any house or team accessories — caps, ribbons, wristbands — ready to go before students reach the photography area. It keeps the line moving and avoids retakes.

Leadership groups and captains

Captains and leadership groups often need a slightly different look — blazer, tie or formal uniform alongside sport kit. Confirm this with us in advance so it’s built into the day’s schedule rather than decided on the spot.

What we’ll confirm with your school

We’ll work through specific guidance with your sport coordinator ahead of the day, including any sport-specific variations across your school’s program.
