Back to School Guide

The summer holidays are here and as much as it's full of fun and games, quality time and days out, you might now start to be thinking about the kids going back to school, and getting your kids essentials ready. We're created this back to school essentials guide that you can refer to and make sure you've got everything ready for September!

Back to School Essentials Guide

You can break your kids essentials list into three different sections: school uniform, pe kit and school bags. So let's start with your school uniform checklist!

  • Shirts
  • School Tie
  • School Jumper
  • School Blazer
  • Trousers/Skirts
  • Socks/Tights
  • Shoes
  • Coat
  • Hat/Scarf/Gloves (for colder weather)

Buying multiple shirts, trousers, skirts etc means that you should be covered for the whole school year, however it's worth checking with your school whether you need to buy those pieces of clothing that have the school logo on them.

When it comes to kids' coats and jackets, we've got your little ones covered. We have a range of coats, including waterproof jackets, lightweight jackets and insulated jackets. Many of our kids' ski jackets are ideal for being worn as a school coat as the ski features such as the snowskirt can be removed.

Now you've got the school uniform sorted, it's time to look at the PE kit. This can vary school from school, but the essentials include -

  • PE kit bag
  • Polo shirt
  • Shorts/Skort
  • Socks
  • Plimsoles/Trainers

Again, it's important to check in with your school to see what their rules and regulations are on branded shoes and whether you need to buy a kit that has the logo embroidered into it.

So you've got the clothing part of the checklist sorted, let's get ready to pack the school bag. You'll need -

  • School bag/Rucksack
  • Pencil Case
  • Pens/Pencils
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Ruler
  • Eraser
  • Highlighters
  • Calculators
  • Water bottle
  • Lunch box

You then have the option to add in extras such as tissues, sun cream maybe even an umbrella, a spare headband or hair tie. Some schools may require you to supply your own notepads but again, that's something you will need to check.
