With the new academic year looming, now’s the perfect time to ensure your youngster is kitted out with all the necessary essentials. A great opportunity to replace tattered book-bags, worn-down pencils, and dried-out colouring pens, our extensive collection of Back To School Essentials here at The Range is sure to cater to any curriculum.
We all know that getting back into a school routine can be hard at first, but there’s nothing more rewarding than showcasing a fresh stash of stationery items on the first day back. Whether you're preparing your child for their first day in a new classroom or simply refreshing supplies for the new term, having the right tools at hand can make all the difference. From backpacks to pencil cases, and notebooks to planners, The Range has it all under one roof.
No school routine is complete without an array of inspiring and multi-functional Pens and Pencils. These are the tools that will be with your child through every test, project, and doodle-filled day. Highlighters and markers help annotate important notes, while colouring pencils and pens add extra flair to craft projects and spontaneous scribbling sessions.
Don't forget the day-to-day essentials: HB pencils, blue and black pens, erasers, sharpeners, and rulers. For those looking for a more comprehensive approach, our handy Stationery Sets offers a ready-made selection of must-haves that cover all the classroom bases.
Once they’ve chosen their desired writing materials, having somewhere to store them is equally important. Rucksacks and Backpacks are perfect for storing gym kits, lunchboxes, water bottles, and after-school activity gear, along with everyday course books and stationery.
These backpacks are not only functional but stylish too, often featuring popular themes and characters kids will love. On a smaller scale, Pencil Cases and desktop pen pots are perfect for keeping pens, erasers, sharpeners, and even small staplers and paperclips organised both in school and at home. A well-packed pencil case can make a big difference to your child’s confidence and preparedness.
A successful school day also needs proper fuel. Keep snacks and meals fresh with our selection of Lunchbox Essentials. Our collection includes fun and colourful lunch bags, leak-proof bottles, snack containers, and insulated flasks.
These essentials help promote healthy eating habits and give you peace of mind knowing your child is eating well during the school day. With options ranging from reusable water bottles to thermos flasks ideal for hot lunches in colder weather, our collection is designed with both practicality and fun in mind.
From noting the difference between adverbs and adjectives in English class to sketching the structure of a volcano in Geography, Notebooks and Planners helps students keep their schoolwork neat and accessible. Choose from lined and plain refill pads, ring-binders, spiral notebooks, and even week-to-view diaries to support every learning style.
If your child is hopping between classrooms or subjects, then Files and Folders makes it easy to keep notes in order. Subject dividers help separate topics clearly, while additional tools like index tabs, page markers, and sticky notes offer extra layers of organisation. With Diaries and Calendars, parents can help kids map out their school schedules, after-school clubs, and revision time efficiently.
Box files, plastic wallets, and other box-files offer a tidy way to manage worksheets and completed homework, ensuring nothing gets lost between the classroom and the kitchen table.
Starting the year strong is important, but keeping that momentum going is even more valuable. If you're looking for ways to keep your child motivated as the term progresses, check out our How To Make Your Own Rewards Chart article for fun tips and ideas. This hands-on activity is great for encouraging good habits and celebrating achievements both big and small.
From stationery must-haves to lunchtime heroes, The Range has everything you need to help your youngster tackle the school year with confidence. With the right tools and a bit of organisation, getting back to school can feel less like a challenge and more like an exciting new chapter.
