Our Back to School Checklist

Uniform, PE kit, shoes, school bag, packed lunch box, stationery… there’s so much to remember when a new school year starts. Amongst all the practical things, it can be hard to remember the people involved: teachers, pupils and the parents sending their child to school or nursery for the first time.

Our Back to School Checklist will make sure nobody is forgotten!

First Day at School Cards for First-Timers

Starting their first school or nursery can be both exciting and a little scary for children. It’s good to show them it’s a milestone to be celebrated rather than a change to fear. Personalise this First Day at School / Nursery Card with your child’s name and the name of their new school or nursery.

Let’s not forget that parents can find it daunting too. The house may seem very quiet when a toddler is suddenly at nursery for hours. It’s natural to worry about how your children will settle in at their school or nursery. If you know a parent facing this anxiety, a Thinking of You Card will let them know they have your support.

Celebrate Fresh Starts with New School Cards

Whether they’ve relocated or they’re moving up a school stage, children and teens can be anxious about starting at a new school. Send one of our personalised new school cards to celebrate their fresh start and remind them that they will settle into their new school, just as they did their old one.

Perhaps they’ve won a scholarship or passed an entrance exam to their new school or college? Our personalised exams cards and congratulations cards are ideal for letting them know how proud you are.

Thank You, Teacher!

It’s never too early in the year to say thank you to a teacher. Perhaps they’ve helped your child settle in or tackle a particular issue? Or started a new club your child loves? Teachers are rarely told what a great job they’re doing, so show you appreciate their time and effort with a thank you teacher card.

If you suspect your child has been a challenge as they settle in, show your gratitude (and remorse!) with our funny Sorry My Kid is the Reason You Drink card!

Personalised cards can help everyone feel appreciated and supported as the new academic year starts, so don’t forget to put them on your shopping list.
