Back to School giveaway – win a bundle of prizes including a Microsoft Surface Go2
I can’t believe M will be going into his final year of Primary school! I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. It’s going to be an emotional year with his “lasts” of everything Primary. Not only that, we will be saying goodbye to the school for good after 10 years! E will be heading into Year 9 where he will have to start thinking about which subjects to choose for his GCSEs – eek!

In addition to being a giveaway, this is a fantastic Back to School Guide that will give you tips and inspiration for your children’s next school year.
