It’s that time of year again! While we’re still technically in the middle of summer, brands all over the country are trying to make us think about September and the back-to-school rush. 

With some great campaigns being launched, we’re starting to get excited about the end of the holiday season and the cooler temperatures.  

Here are some back-to-school campaigns you need to know about. Get ready to look forward to autumn. 

JD

“Start Fresh” is the new JD campaign that pays tribute to the boundless energy, unique individuality, and unstoppable spirit of today’s youth as they gear up for a new chapter ahead of going back to school. 

From 10th Aug to 1st September, JD will be providing a pop-up barbers service in key JD stores nationwide. Just spend over £50 in-store and you’ll be able to treat yourself to a razor-sharp, fresh trim. Keep an eye on JD social channels to see when the pop-up barbers will be in a store near you.  

Helping to put swag in your kids’ step with a new look to match, talented dance group Sturdy Off energetically showcase JD’s diverse product range for the season, from stylish triple black footwear, on-point apparel to must-have accessories and backpacks.

JD’s “Start Fresh” Back to School collection has a curated selection, including backpacks, footwear, and outerwear. Each item meets school uniform black colour requirements, ensuring students remain stylish while adhering to school policies. 

Clarks 

Clarks has launched their latest Back to School collection as well as a price freeze, keeping its market-leading school shoes at 2023 prices. The brand is also reducing the prices of 33% of its Back-to-School collection.

The brand is making sure they’re supporting families this year, with a ‘buy together save together’ bundle, where parents can get £10 off a pair of kid’s trainers when they buy black kids school shoes. 

As well as this, they are also offering a ‘fit guarantee’ where if kids outgrow their school shoes within three months of their in-store fitting, they can come and exchange them for a new pair, free of charge.

Clarks’ school shoes are specifically designed to be lightweight, helping children’s feet and ankles move the way they’re meant to. Their school shoes also use leather uppers and mesh linings with an antimicrobial treatment – keeping them breathable all day long.

With almost 200 years of children’s foot health expertise, parents trust Clarks to deliver perfectly fitting, science-backed pairs of shoes that empower kids to be their very best selves – all day, all term, all year.

The Clarks Back-to-School collection is available to purchase online and in store now in sizes Kids U.K. 7 – Youth U.K. 8. £44 – £52. All shoes purchased in store come with a Fit Guarantee for three months.

One essential item on everyone’s back-to-school list is a backpack. So of course, JanSport is getting in on the action. 

JanSport backpacks aren’t just for carrying notepads, laptops, and school essentials, they’re also a statement of unique style.
