I am happy to report that the mountain of requests for viewing this year’s Banda school photos has finally been cleared, and thank you to all the parents for their patience and understanding! The deadline for ordering at reduced prices has been extended to 7th December in light of the fact that some parents have only just been given access.

All orders received – and paid for – to date are being processed but please understand that orders will only be processed once payment in full has been received.

Print orders made and paid for before 3rd December should be at the school office before the end of term, and I will be starting the process of sending digital orders out from 3rd December as well.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding and I hope you enjoy the photos!

This year in particular I have been swamped with enquiries to view the 2025/26 official Banda School photos and I am working through as quickly as I can but it is a slow process!

Please bear with me as I WILL get to your request very soon and then send you the log-in details – if you haven’t yet requested to view the photos please send me an email (stating the name(s) and class(es) of your child(ren) and I will get the latest uploaded as quickly as possible!

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

So… after another hugely enjoyable 10 days at The Banda School concluded recently I am almost ready for parents to start viewing the latest photos. Please keep an eye out for an email from the school office, or if you are reading this and you want to see the latest photos just drop an email to jcphotocooke@gmail.com (remembering to give me the full name(s) and class(es) of your child(ren) and I will get back with you with the details you will need as soon as possible.

PLEASE remember, however, that once the email is sent from the school office I will be inundated with requests to view the photos, so please bear with me while I work through the enquiries on a first come, first served basis!

For parents who have had children at The Banda for a few years (or more!) I am always very happy to discuss prices (at large discounts) for your entire back catalogue of images – very popular with Year 8 parents!

I look forward to hearing from you very soon!

Jonathan

Dear Banda Parents

We are delighted to be able to let you know that this year’s school photos are now available for viewing. If you would like to see the photos please email Jonathan directly at jcphotocooke@gmail.com remembering to include the names of your child(ren) and also the class(es) they are in.

Prices quoted on the website are inclusive of a 10% ‘early ordering’ discount and these prices will remain valid until midnight on Sunday 9^th February, so please remember to get your orders in early to avoid the price increase! Please note that this year we have reverted to charging in Kenyan shillings from US dollars, due to popular request; we had made the switch to US dollars due to the fluctuation in the exchange rate, and as we are now charging in Kes again the prices might be subject to review depending on the current exchange rate.

Please also note that this year’s whole school and whole Pegasus photos are ONLY available in print format (mounted or un-mounted), although they can be ordered through the website.

We are usually inundated with requests to view the photos over the first week so please bear with us – we will handle the enquiries on a first come, first served basis and we will get to you as soon as we can!

Looking forward to hearing from you and with kindest regards,

Jonathan & Kerry

Due to the horrendous worldwide restrictions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic we took the painful choice to temporarily take down our School Photos ordering website as we were not actively adding any new images to the libraries and the costs involved for hosting and storage were becoming prohibitive…

However, with renewed confidence in things beginning to go back to ‘normal’ we are happy to be able to re-open the site in preparation of being able to add new images from the 2021/22 academic year… here’s hoping at least!!

All of the sites functions are back up and running and we look forward to hearing from you soon… we are also very happy to talk to you about bulk purchases of digital images for your whole archive at heavily discounted prices – if this is of interest to you please contact us on jcphotocooke@gmail.com or by WhatsAp on +256(0)789 804953.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Apologies to all Banda School parents, but after being inundated with requests for uploads and a rather nasty bout of malaria I am now very happy to be able to say that this year’s photos are now available to view and purchase – I hope you enjoy looking through them and that it has been worth the wait!

It has been a very busy term for us as we have been at Braeburn Gitanga Road, The Banda, Braeburn Mombasa, Braeburn Imani and Pembroke all in the last few weeks… at a quick reckoning that is nearly 2000 individual children and well over 100 form/year group photos (not to mention sibling, team and whole school photos!) since January – it is no wonder we are as tired as we are!

This has led to a couple of delays in getting the images on to the site for viewing but we are happy to announce that Braeburn Gitanga and The Banda photos for the current academic year have now been uploaded and are available for viewing, and the others will be coming shortly – watch this space!!

Please contact us on jcphotocooke@gmail.com should you require your unique password and we hope you enjoy viewing your family album – whichever school your child(ren) attend!

The following photos have just been uploaded to the Pembroke family albums:

Whole school photo 2017/18, whole Year 8 photos, Trinity Term team photos, house matches – rugby (boys and girls), netball and U9 football, Middles play, Pre-prep play, Ndume 7s – U11s, U13s and girls, Widgery Cup

…and – at last – for parents of children who were in Year 2,  the class photo!
