Now the holidays are drawing to a close, it’s time to get organised and think about heading back into term time. It’s such a busy time of year – not only is there new uniform to source, you also have to try and find last year’s pencil cases and notebooks from wherever they ended up. We’ve put together a few ideas for children of all ages going into the new term, from alarm clocks to new bookcases to help you get (and stay!) organised.
