Back to School

The summer holidays may have only just begun but it’s never too early to start getting prepared.

We all know how expensive school uniforms can be so I have been shopping around to find the perfect uniforms for a great price, so you don’t have to.

As there are so many different schools with assorted colour schemes, the items shown below are available in a variety of colours.

For my top picks, first up is Dunnes Stores.

I love this check summer dress and the attention to detail on the collar and zip is beautiful.

2. 3 pairs Ruffle Socks – £4.00

This year the Forge Shopping Centre have teamed up with ‘With Kids’ to try make sure that every child’s Back to School is unforgettable.

As you may know, the Forge has done something similar the last few Christmases and I am delighted that they have chosen to try it at another valuable time in every child life.

This should be an exciting time for all children, and they should all be walking through the school doors feeling fabulous.

So, if you can spare a little, please check out their School Drive Board which is located at the Customer Service Desk. There are loads of stars which contain various priced items, simply pick one then hand the items in to the desk by the 4th August.
