Essentials for heading back into the classroom

With September on the horizon, it’s officially back-to-school shopping season! But there’s no need to stress – we have all the essentials you're looking for (and more) under one roof. Whether they’re starting their first school year or heading back for another, shop everything from uniform staples to playful stationery.

Fit for the term
Swap swimsuits for school shirts as summer winds down. At O2, you’ll find great schoolwear that blends comfort, durability, and style, ready for classroom learning and playground adventures. Shop high-quality staples from Sainsbury’s. Choose from adorable dresses, smart trousers, timeless polos, along with accessories and PE kits to top off their school-ready style.

Stationery must-haves

Whether they’re revising for exams or just getting creative, explore stationery essentials to keep them inspired and organised. Let your child’s imagination run wild at Flying Tiger, with a colourful collection of fun and quirky supplies. Need the basics? There are all the study-ready must-haves, like highlighters, pens, notebooks and more.

Make a day of it
Why not make back-to-school shopping a family adventure? Once you’ve ticked off the to-do list, treat yourselves to a day of food and fun. Catch a movie at Vue cinema, then refuel with a family meal at Nando’s.

School might be starting soon, but summer fun isn’t over just yet. See all of our shops here.
