Schools

Nigel Coles School Photography is a family-owned business that has established a strong reputation over the past two decades for its professional and friendly service. Unlike many other school photography companies, we are locally based and currently photograph approximately 30 schools in the area, including the annual Dance Umbrella Event held at the Bath Forum.

“Nigel and Claire from Nigel Coles Photography have been visiting Chew Stoke Church School for many years to take both individual and class photographs. They are always highly professional, organised, and make the whole process incredibly smooth and easy for the school.

What stands out most is the wonderful way they engage with the children — helping them feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy, which really shines through in the photos. The images are always of an exceptionally high standard, beautifully presented, and have a fresh, modern feel that parents love.

We are always delighted with the service and results Nigel and Claire provide and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other schools.
