10 Back to school organisation hacks Posted on July 26, 2022January 8, 2025 By Becky As someone who likes to be organised, I find that one of the biggest challenges since having kids is the fact that we have 3 extra people to manage, and when they all head back to school it’s definitely one of the busiest times of year to remember everything! I always need to refer back to my best back to school hacks. Keeping school things organised is essential for success for the start your school day, and also so your children have a smooth start too. Whether that be getting things ready in the morning, keeping homework tidy and organised, making sure lunches are prepped and ready, and making sure you have all the right uniform and supplies. My older two children are also more independent now at 10 and 11 (the 11 year old will be off to secondary school in a couple of months), and it’s important that they learn to manage some jobs themselves, although this is very much a work in progress!
