The summer holidays are winding down, and it's time to get organised for the new school year. Getting the uniform sorted early saves stress (and last-minute panic buying) once term starts.
The essential checklist
- 3-4 school shirts or polo tops — enough to survive a busy week between washes
- 2 pairs of school trousers or skirts — look for reinforced knees for playground durability
- A weatherproof coat — British autumn weather is unpredictable, so pick something that layers well
- School shoes — well-fitted, supportive, and comfortable for a full day on their feet
- A jumper or cardigan — for chilly classrooms and changeable weather
- PE kit — don't forget this one until the night before
Getting the coat right
A good school coat needs to handle everything from September drizzle to December frost. Browse our girls' coats and boys' coats collections for durable, weatherproof options that layer easily over uniform.
Shoes that go the distance
School shoes take a beating — running, climbing, standing through assembly. Look for a supportive sole and a shape that won't rub after a full day. Our shoes collection has comfortable, durable options built for busy school days.
Label everything
A small but crucial tip: label every single item, including shoes. Uniform goes missing constantly in the first weeks of term, and named items find their way back far more often.
