John Lewis – price-match + 3 year warranty on Apple products for September!
So they’re all back to school, or maybe setting off to Uni in just a few more days. And you’re starting to think that maybe they really do need that new laptop/desktop/tablet they’ve been badgering you for all summer. Well before you head to your nearest High Street electrical store, make sure you check John Lewis. Possibly not your first thought, but seriously; I get all my big electricals from them. Because not...

Oh my – we reached Day 7 – and that means it’s the end of #BackToSchoolBooks week. But fear not – we’re finishing on a proper good one. Obviously we’re at the top of the school tree by now – we’re into 6th form, and it’s A Level time for the 16 & 17yr olds. By the time they reach here, the studying gets serious, doesn’t it? There’s a big jump from GCSE to...
World Atlas with Collins #BackToSchoolBooks
I know it’s a ‘School Atlas’ but this is the baby you want on your shelf as your child moves on into secondary school. I LOVE an Atlas – who doesn’t?

Recently revised and extended, it features...
Win a complete £125 GCSE Study Bundle, plus an Animal bag! #BackToSchoolBooks
And if you’ve been following us all week, you’ll have worked out that today we’ve reached the GCSE stage. When your kids are small, it feels so very far away – an impossibly big age for your precious small child to ever reach. And yet any parent of a teen will tell you to think twice – it’s impossibly fast, just how quickly it happens. I’m pretty sure my biggest boy was nine a couple of years...
Win a complete KS3 Learning Library, plus a Pink Camo Beanbag! #BackToSchoolBooks
Unbelievably, we’re already on day 5 – and naturally that means High School. So many of us have faced that huge leap – where they go from being the biggest frogs in the pond at Primary, to being the teeny tiniest little tiddlers again. It’s such a daunting time, and there’s so much learning to do – not just your actual lessons, but simply handling the new big school and it’s massive amount of...
Win a complete KS2 Learning Library, plus a World Map Wall Poster #BackToSchoolBooks
Day Four of the Back To School Books week – we’ve passed the halfway point! And today we’ve made it to Key Stage 2 (or Junior School to me..), and we’re offering another brilliantly-picked Learning Library Bundle for the 7-11yr olds. There’s a great mix of books again – the Letts ‘Wild About…’ range which are an ace new set of activity books which are matched to the KS2 National...
