AS soon as the Summer Holidays begin the gloom of back to school looms inevitably on the horizon.
To help you make the process as smooth as possible we’ve put together this handy list.

Follow our Back to School guide and you’re sure to have less tears, tantrums and stress – and you might even save a little bit of money.
Sleep on it
One week before the kids go back to school try and get them back into their term time sleeping pattern.
That way you can take your time saying goodbye to late nights and lie ins and get used to it before it REALLY matters.
Hit the shops
4
It can be tempting to put the back-to –school shop to the back of your mind until the end of the Summer holidays – but it’s better to get it out of the way in those first couple of weeks.
Before the crowds descend on the high street take a day or two and get stocked up with any new uniform, stationary, lunchboxes, tech, shoes and bags that you need. Doing it early means you can take your time and browse all the offers to embrace any possible savings!
Check your tech
4
Make homework and projects easier by making sure you have a good enough laptop at home.
Getting a new laptop doesn’t need to be pricey. You can get the Lenovo Chromebook S340 for just £249 (save £50, was £299) at Curry’s PC World where there are lots of affordable financing options too!
The Lenovo Chromebook S340 is a great laptop for the whole family as it has a great battery life, comes with virus protection software and is compatible with all of your favourite apps like Netflix and YouTube.
Snack game strong
It can be easy to appease term-time tears with talk of treats but the kids will fare better if you pack their bags full of healthy snacks and drinks.
Fruit and water will give them much more energy in their first week than biscuits and pop – they’ll thank you for it later.

Meal Prep

You’ve thought about prepping lunches for the first week back, but have you thought about prepping dinners, too?
Spend a couple of hours on the Sunday batch cooking family meals for the week that can be easily heated up at dinner time. That way after school you’ll have more time for homework and talking with your children about how they’re settling into the new school year.

Label it
Label everything. Uniform, pencil cases, drinks bottles…everything. Even better if you can use distinct colours and patterns on your labels.
Doing this will make your child’s possessions more easily recognisable and they’ll be less likely to lose them.
Lunchbox loving
Get set for the year ahead by creating a lunchbox cupboard in your house.
Save money by stocking up (on the things that don’t go off, obviously) on healthy snacks that you can throw together at a moment’s notice.
