Hello lovely teachers!

Apologies if this has been asked before. I’m about to start supply, bit nervous about it and would like to take a few files with me when I go out so I’m prepared for anything. What are your perfect teacher bags? I’m thinking a rucksack or trolley, does anyone have any suggestions of brands/models? Thanks in advance!

Get a trolley. Some classrooms are an awful long way from the car park. Lakeland Funky trundle trolley is good.

Supply here and I only take my little hand bag with me.
The planning is almost always done ( only twice this year did I have to bring in work and even then I just went in as early as I could and printed stuff off there and then)

Definitely take a well stocked pencil case. And s travel mug.

I'd splash out on a subscription to Twinkl rather than cart round a huge bag. Think it's about £70 a year for access to all their resources, which are great.

I second Twinkl. Even if you can't print easily, you can download a powerpoint in seconds and have a lesson ready to go. Way more stuff there than you could ever carry around.

Yup get Twinkl- honestly the best £70 I have spent. Also can highly recommend the Mia Tui backpacks- nice and padded with pockets for computers and so on.
