Ready, Set, School!

Get the kids (and yourself!!) ready for back to school with our Ready, Set, School Guide! A school coat is a top priority. It important, especially in Ireland, to ensure your kids are well prepared for possible rain showers in the playground or on the walk to school.

As school begins, the weather grows cold, wet and windy so a hat, scarf and gloves are an essential!

Step into the new school year with a fresh pair of school shoes or trainers. Comfort and durability are key when choosing the perfect pair! Please remember, some schools can be quite strict when it comes to shoes! It’s important to check with the individual school before buying to avoid extra expenses!

Some schools have strict rules on their PE kit and require their students to wear specific garments with the school crest. Purchase your school’s crested O’Neills PE kit and tick it off the checklist!

Other schools allow pupils to wear plain t-shirts and shorts for sports, so check out our range of plain school PE kits and tracksuits for boys and girls!

If your child takes part in after-school activities, they may require specific clothing and equipment such as swimwear or football boots. Pack it all up into their PE bag for safe keeping!

The most exciting part of back to school shopping for your kids... Their School Bag! Will it be bright and bold or coordinated with their uniform & new Lunch box? Make sure they stay hydrated throughout the day with their own water bottle! Maybe they want everything to match, or they want to stand out from the crowd. Either way we’ve got plenty to choose from!
