The summer holidays may still be a few weeks away, but many parents are already starting to think about the cost of getting children ready for the new school year.
School uniforms, shoes, PE kit, backpacks and stationery can quickly add up, especially if you have more than one child. That's why Aldi's annual back-to-school event has become one of the most anticipated supermarket launches of the summer.
The retailer has now confirmed that its popular Aldi school uniform bundle will return to stores from 28th June 2026, alongside a much wider range of clothing, footwear and school essentials, with prices starting from as little as £1.50.
What's Included In Aldi's £5 School Uniform Bundle?
The £5 school uniform bundle has become something of a back-to-school tradition for Aldi shoppers. With school costs continuing to put pressure on household budgets, many parents will be pleased to see it returning for 2026.
Available in sizes suitable for children aged 4 to 12 years, the bundle includes two polo shirts, a sweatshirt or cardigan, and a choice of trousers, cargo shorts or a pleated skirt. Aldi says the range is backed by a 12-month satisfaction guarantee, giving families some reassurance that the clothing should last through the school year.
Parents can choose between boys' and girls' polo shirts, available in white or blue, while sweatshirts and cardigans come in navy or red. Bottoms are available in grey and include several styles depending on your child's school requirements.
Item | Price |
Polo Shirts (2 Pack) | £1.75 |
Sweatshirt or Cardigan | £1.50 |
Trousers, Pleated Skirt or Cargo Shorts | £1.75 |
Total Bundle Price | £5.00 |
School Shoes From £7.99
School shoes are often one of the biggest back-to-school expenses, particularly if your child has grown over the summer.
Aldi's children's leather school shoes return this year at £7.99. Available in sizes 10 to 4, the range includes several styles for both boys and girls. Aldi says each pair includes a memory foam insole designed to help keep children comfortable throughout the school day.
Girls can choose between classic loafers, traditional Mary Jane styles and Mary Jane shoes featuring decorative bows. Boys have a choice of two trainer-inspired school shoe designs.
Compared with many branded school shoes that can cost £30 or more, these are likely to be among the most sought-after items in the range.
PE Kit, Trainers And Football Boots
For many families, school uniform is only part of the shopping list.
PE lessons, after-school clubs and sports teams often require additional clothing and footwear, creating another expense before term begins.
Aldi's PE and sports range includes:
Item | Price |
Football Boots | £9.99 |
Trainers | £6.99 |
Sports Shorts | £2.99 |
Joggers (2 Pack) | £6.99 |
Crew Neck T-Shirts (2 Pack) | £1.89 |
Socks (5 Pack) | £2.49 |
The football boots feature moulded studs for grass pitches and could prove particularly useful for children who play school football or attend weekend matches.
Additional Uniform Items Available
The £5 bundle may be enough for some families, but Aldi is also offering a much wider clothing range for parents looking to stock up.
Additional items include:
Item | Price |
Shirt 3 Pack | £3.69 |
Tights 3 Pack | £3.99 |
Jersey Trousers | £2.49 |
Jersey Skirt | £3.49 |
Leggings & Jersey Skort | £3.99 |
Classic Pinafore 2 Pack | £6.99 |
Jersey Pinafore 2 Pack | £6.99 |
Vest 2 Pack | £1.59 |
These items should allow many parents to cover most of their children's school clothing requirements in a single shopping trip.
Backpacks, Lunch Bags And Water Bottles
Backpacks and lunch bags are another area where costs can creep up quickly.
Prices include:
Item | Price |
Premium Backpack | £9.99 |
Premium Lunch Bag | £5.99 |
Pop It Lunch Bag | £4.99 |
Bottle & Lunch Box Set | £2.49 |
3D Topper Bottle | £3.99 |
While these aren't essential purchases, they may appeal to children wanting something a little more colourful than a plain school bag.
New Hair Accessories Join The Range
One of the new additions for 2026 is Aldi's Back To School Hair Accessories collection.
Priced at £1.99, the range includes clips, bows, scrunchies, ties and headbands in school-friendly colours including blue, red and green. For families regularly replacing lost hair accessories throughout the school year, these could be worth adding to the basket.
Classroom And Activity Essentials
Aldi's back-to-school range isn't limited to clothing and footwear.
The supermarket is also selling activity tins, colouring sets, giant wipe-clean workbooks and chalk packs from £2.99. These products are aimed more at keeping children occupied during the summer holidays, but they could also help younger children prepare for returning to the classroom.
What About Tesco, Asda, Morrisons And Sainsbury's?
Aldi won't be the only supermarket competing for parents' back-to-school spending this summer.
Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Lidl and Marks & Spencer all typically launch school uniform promotions during the summer months, with each retailer offering slightly different strengths.
George at Asda is often popular for value, Tesco's F&F range regularly includes Clubcard promotions, Nutmeg at Morrisons has built a loyal following, while TU Clothing at Sainsbury's remains a popular choice for many families.
At the time of writing, Aldi is one of the first major supermarkets to confirm details of its 2026 range. We'll update this article as rival retailers announce their own back-to-school offers.
Can You Earn Cashback On Aldi School Uniform?
Sadly, this is one area where Aldi shoppers lose out compared with some other supermarkets.
Unlike retailers such as Tesco, there are currently no gift card cashback opportunities available through services such as JamDoughnut or similar cashback platforms.That means there isn't currently a way to buy discounted Aldi gift cards for cheaper shopping.
The main exception is if you use a cashback debit or credit card. For example, some shoppers may earn cashback through Chase, while PayPal Business Debit Mastercard users can currently earn 0.5% cashback on eligible spending.
The savings won't be huge, but if you're spending £100 or more on back-to-school shopping, it's still better than earning nothing.
Is Aldi's School Uniform Worth Buying?
For many families, the answer will probably be yes.
The £5 bundle remains one of the cheapest supermarket school uniform offers available, particularly when you consider it includes the three core items most children need for the classroom.
The wider range is arguably just as useful. Between the uniforms, shoes, PE kit, backpacks, lunch bags and accessories, many parents could complete most of their September shopping in a single visit.
Just remember that Aldi's school uniform range is sold as a Specialbuy. Once stock has sold out, it is unlikely to be restocked, so leaving your shopping until August could mean missing out. Before you head to the checkout, it's worth taking a few minutes to compare your school's uniform requirements against Aldi's range. If the colours and styles match what your child needs, the £5 bundle could help take some of the sting out of one of the most expensive shopping trips of the year.
