Whether that&#8217;s on clothing, stationary, shoes and accessories, we&#8217;ve got you covered.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">1.\u00a0Make a list of what you need<\/span><\/h3>\r\nFind out from your child&#8217;s school to see if they have a uniform list of what your child will need. Take in to consideration that your child will most likely grow throughout the year so you could buy shirts, trousers and skirts in the size your child is now and a bigger size whilst the deals are on. Also remember to buy a few of each items to allow one on, one in the wash and a spare.\r\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2.\u00a0Start looking early for the best deals<\/span><\/h3>\r\nRetailers have started their back to school deals already so keep and eye out and take advantage if you see a good one. Take a look online and shop around, remember that a lot of supermarkets now sell clothing and that includes great school uniforms that won&#8217;t break the bank.\r\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">3.\u00a0Speak to other parents\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nHave a chat to other parents at your little one&#8217;s school and see where they&#8217;re looking to buy their school uniforms from, they may know about an offer that&#8217;s running that you don&#8217;t know about. They also might have good tips and tricks to get the best value for money and to make your uniforms last longer.\r\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">4. Label everything<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThat&#8217;s right, label everything! This way you can hopefully make sure your kid&#8217;s will come home with their school uniform and not a class mate&#8217;s. It also makes things easier to track down in the lost property box or by teachers if items get left at school. <a href=\"\/partner\/Easy2Name.aspx?t=lwk\"><span style=\"color: #bf2e1b;\"><strong>Easy2Name<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are a great retailer who specialise in labels for everything from stationary to clothing to lunch boxes.\r\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">5.
