THE summer holidays might just be upon us – but it’s never too early to get sorted for the new school year.

Getting sorted early avoids a panic come the summer’s end, and there are plenty of options in Sligo to help you get everything you need ahead of the busy school year.

The shops are already stocked full of the stationary and uniform for the new school year, so now is the perfect time to start picking up the bits and pieces you require.

Schoolbags and shoes can also be purchased here.

Cordner’s of Sligo has been the first port of call for many Sligo families for school shoes over the years, and they continue to provide an excellent service. They will cater to your needs as you look for the perfect pair of shoes for the school year.
