Back to School Made Easy
Summer might still be in full swing, but the new school year is just around the corner. From fresh uniforms to shiny new shoes, stationery to lunchbox snacks, that back-to-school checklist can feel never-ending.
Luckily, Ladysmith Shopping Centre has everything you need to tick off your list, all in one place. Whether you’re shopping for the little ones or prepping teens for the year ahead, here’s your go-to guide for getting ready without the stress.
Thoughtful Touches at Cardzone
Start the term with something special. Cardzone has a fantastic selection of good luck cards, quirky notebooks, and little gifts to make their first day extra memorable. Whether it’s a ‘you’ve got this!’ card for your child or a thank-you present for summer club staff, these small gestures go a long way.
Health & Wellbeing with Boots
From children’s vitamins to skincare for teens, Boots is your back-to-school wellness hub. Pick up those term-time essentials like plasters, hand sanitiser, and haircare products.
Grab & Go at Greggs
Back-to-school shopping is hungry work! Take a break with a coffee and pastry, or keep the kids happy with a sandwich or sausage roll from Greggs. Perfect for refuelling before heading back out to tackle the rest of the list. If you’re passing through the centre when they’re back at school, don’t forget to pop in for an after-school sweet treat!
Everyday Essentials from Bodycare
From hair ties and deodorant to shower gels and body sprays, Bodycare makes it easy to get the basics sorted without stretching the budget. Great for topping up those PE kit bags and bathroom cupboards ahead of the new term.
See the Year Clearly with Specsavers
A fresh school year is the perfect time to check your child’s eyesight. Specsavers offers eye tests for the whole family, with plenty of stylish and durable frames to suit kids, teens, and adults alike.
Let Shoezone Relieve Your Stress!
We love Shoezone for its affordable range of kids’ shoes. You’ll find trainers in black or white, as well as plimsolls for PE and school shoes for everyday wear. There is a huge selection to pick from, a bright and airy space to browse and try on and friendly staff to help with your questions. You won’t need to go anywhere else for this year’s footwear.
Pencil Case Prepared!
Don’t forget we have a brilliantly stocked Home Bargains for all your stationery needs. Pick from bright or pastel water bottles for hydration, snack pots of all shapes and sizes for banishing hunger and a brilliant range of pens, pencils, maths sets and much more. All, of course at great value too!
Uniforms From Peacocks
Just in case you didn’t know, Peacocks stock all the uniform essentials from tights to blouses and trousers, shorts and jumpers. Don’t forget socks and a lightweight waterproof coat too!
From stationery to snacks, self-care to style, Ladysmith Shopping Centre is your place for back-to-school shopping. Tackle that checklist with ease, enjoy a few treats along the way, and step into the new term feeling organised, confident, and ready for whatever the year brings.
