A waterproof jacket is one of the most essential items in the back to school season, with the UK weather being so unpredictable, these lightweight jackets protect your little one from all the elements. When choosing a kids' waterproof jacket it's important to look what material is used to ensure the jacket is waterproof and not just water repellent. Here at Regatta, we've got plenty of kids' jackets to choose from, you can shop our range of girls' waterproof jackets or boys' waterproof jackets to find a suitable waterproof for your child.
Arguably the most important thing to remember is your children's uniform and shoes. We would advise you get your uniform shopping done as soon as possible as they tend to sell out very quickly.
Top Tip: Don't forget to add labels with your child's name to their uniform, we would recommend using iron on labels.
Choosing a rucksack for your child can be difficult, because there is so much choose out there. It's important to think about what they actually need to fit in their bag, do they have to carry a laptop or is it just their homework, books and packed lunch? When shopping remember rucksacks sizes come in litres, the higher the litres the more space inside the rucksack.
You may find that your child's school has some requirements of what stationary they require, for example when they reach a certain level they will need a scientific calculator. Here's a list of what they might need.
As well as these stationary essentials, there are also other bits of equipment that you should make sure your child has enough room for in their bag such as: lunch bag, umbrella, anti-bacterial gel and tissues.
