Does every pupil need to take part?

No. Schools can include the year groups or classes that suit them best.

Do families have to buy a copy?

No. Ordering is optional and handled directly by Young Artists Anthology.

Do teachers need to design the book?

No. We take care of the layout, production and ordering journey.

Can we include more than one year group?

Yes. Many schools include multiple classes or several year groups in one anthology.

Do you need the original artwork?

No. Schools upload scans or photos, so children can keep their original work.

How much admin is involved?

Very little. Schools create the work and upload it; we handle the rest.

Teacher workload

Very light admin.
