Ready for a new school year

A new school year brings everyday things to organise and a few little things to look forward to. This selection brings together bags, lunch essentials and stationery, alongside a game and a story for time at home. It is a starting point you can trim to match your child’s age and their school’s checklist. Begin with what needs replacing, then let them choose a colour or design they will recognise. Check school guidance before buying pens or equipment, and leave room for a small treat that makes the first week feel special.
