Tips for going back to school

Whether you are starting a new school or going back to your old one, the break during the summer may make you feel like you arse starting all over again.

Have you got everything you need? What's your first class?

Here are some tips to keep you on track.

Get organised- Make sure you have pens, notebooks and a pencil case all ready.

This might mean going shopping for shiny new stationary, but you can also still use what you already have - if you can find it!

Make a plan - Do you know your new timetable? If you've been given it maybe write it down on your phone or have it printed out so you know where you'll be going.

Get some sleep - In the days before going back try to get back to a regular sleeping pattern. Lack of sleep can make it hard to concentrate.

Eat well - Start the day with a healthy breakfast and don't forget to eat a good lunch and dinner as well. Drink plenty of water as well so don't forget your water bottle!

Get ready the night before - Packing your school bag and laying out your clothes the evening before could take away some of the stress of your first day.

Enjoy yourself - If you are returning to school it's a chance to see some people you haven't seen for a while and if you are starting a new school it's a chance to meet new people so have fun and be yourself!
