With a little planning and the help of an RCS Personal Loan with interest from as low as 15%*, make sure you tick these four school-year expenses off your checklist.

 

 

SETTLE SCHOOL FEES

There are usually various payment options, but if you can pay for the entire year upfront, you could be looking at a saving of between five and 10 percent. Just be sure to check the payment deadline for this discount.

 

ROUND-UP THAT STATIONERY

Take an inventory of what your child has from the previous school year and only buy what they really need.

 

SHOP SECOND-HAND UNIFORMS AND TEXTBOOKS

Browse second-hand shops and join your local community group on Facebook to see what school items other parents are selling, from blazers to sports equipment.

 

 

SET AN EXTRAMURAL BUDGET

Sit down with your child and discuss which activities are top of their list and what can fit into your budget. Having this discussion will hopefully encourage them to be more dedicated to the activities they choose and prevent overscheduling.
