It’s Giving New Term Fresh Fits
Back to School, But Make It Fresh
A new term calls for a fresh start — and, of course, some seriously good new-season fits. Whether they’re starting a new school, refreshing their uniform or getting ready for everything that comes after the final bell, we’ve rounded up the back-to-school essentials to get them term-ready.
From polished school-day staples to fresh trainers, statement bags and after-school styles, discover everything they need for the new term at The Friary.
Fresh Fits
Start the new term looking the part with uniform staples that tick all the boxes. Next has them covered with its Grey Regular Fit Zip Front School Pinafore, Black Straight Leg School Trousers and a Red Frill Shoulder Cardigan, while Primark’s V-Neck School Jumpers and Long Sleeve School Shirts make everyday dressing easy.

Step Into Term
New term, new shoes. From classic school styles to seriously cool trainers, there’s something for every dress code. Keep it classic with Next’s Black Matt Bow Chunky Mary Janes or Primark’s Snaffle Bit Loafers, or step things up with the Adidas Handball Spezial Youth from Schuh and Skechers’ Quick Street trainers.

Bag It Up
The right bag is a back-to-school essential, so why not make it part of the look? Smiggle’s Aspire Lilac Classic Attach Backpack brings a pop of colour, while its Aspire Grey Book Bag keeps things simple. For a more fashion-forward finish, choose Mango’s Shopper Bag, Zara’s Animal Print Backpack or the iconic Fjällräven Kånken from Urban Outfitters.

Classroom Ready
From first-period notes to last-minute homework, make sure they’re fully stocked for study mode. Søstrene Grene brings colour to the classroom, while Flying Tiger’s Study Planner helps keep everything on track. Oliver Bonas adds some personality with Dog Shaped Sticky Notes, and Card Factory’s Disco Holographic Notebook is ready to make a statement.

PE Essentials
Ready, set, go! Whether they’re heading to PE or fitting in some after-school activity, keep them comfortable and ready to move. JD Sports’ Nike Miler T-Shirt makes a sporty staple, while Primark’s Black Sports Shorts and Next’s Navy Zip-Up Fleece are easy kit-bag additions. For an off-duty active look, try Zara’s Bermuda Shorts or Gilly Hicks Active Leggings from Hollister.

After-School Style
Once the school day is done, it’s time for a change of pace. Keep things casual with Primark’s Active Bonded Zip-Up Hoodie or Next’s Black Zip Through Sports Hoodie, then add Levi’s Loose Fit Pull-on Trousers for an effortlessly cool finish. For a statement layer, JD Sports’ AYBL Varsity Appliqué Hoodie brings the attitude, while Urban Outfitters’ ’47 Brand NY Yankees Cap adds the finishing touch.

New Term, New Energy
Whatever their style, make the new term one to remember with fresh fits, new favourites and all the essentials they need to start September in style.
