With many schools recently returning after the summer holidays, it’s time to get all the essentials for going back to school. It can be difficult to get everything you need for going back to school and it’s easy to forget even the simplest of essentials. That is why we have put together a list of 10 Back to School essentials to ensure you don’t forget anything!
1: Notebooks
Firstly, notebooks are one of the most important supplies for back to school. Most schools may provide you with notebooks, however, if you want to do studying at home, a notebook is perfect. In addition, if you go to college or university, you may need multiple notebooks for different classes.

2: Pens and pencils- Back to school
Secondly, pens and pencils are another important back to school supply that you need! It is pretty self explanatory but without a pen or pencil, you won’t get very far in your work/ notetaking! However, you may find that using different coloured pens or pencils help you separate your notes better and make studying easier.
3: Backpacks
Thirdly, of course you will need a backpack or bag or some kind. However, what some people seem to forget sometimes is to check the size of the backpack. for example, if you need to take a laptop to school, you should always check that the backpack is big enough to fit the laptop in it.

Uniform can be easy to forget as there is so many parts to remember. Above all, you should always double check what the uniform is for each year to ensure you get the right kind. Some schools may require you to buy uniform from a certain supplier or have all articles of clothing have the school logo on it. However, if this is not the case, you can get back to school clothes from most supermarkets. Below are a few clothing options that you may need.
- Gym shoes/ kit
- Indoor/ outdoor shoes
- T-shirts/ shirts
- Trousers
- Skirts
- Jumpers/ hoodies
- Tie
- Blazer
8: Label maker
Another important product you may not have thought about is a label maker. Label makers are great for adding your/ your child’s name to their belongings. This is especially important for things such as pack lunch boxes, jumpers and pencil cases. For example, if you or your child loses their jumper, you can check with the school for a missing jumper with your/ your child’s name on it rather than having to dig through a pile of clothes guess which one is yours.
