Making A School Binder

At the beginning of the school year I decided to put together a school binder where I can keep everything from school that I need and I wanted to share with you some tips and what you need to create a school binder that you will actually use.

Firstly you need a binder because otherwise it's not really a binder. I got mine from Wilko and I decided to get it from there because it's super cheap there and if you don't actually use it that much you won't be sad that you spent a lot of money. I also love this tribal print on the binder.

I would then put in some dividers to separate all my subjects and these dividers were 30p from Wilko and you don't need expensive dividers or you could even make your own. There's 10 dividers in this pack but I don't use them all and I have a divider for English, Maths, Science, French, ICT, Geography and Drama and also a Other section for anything random although if I went back and made it again I would've included a divider for each science so chemistry, biology and physics as they're all in one section.

At the back I keep lots of punch pockets and in the punch pockets I put tests in because it's probably just me but I find it incredibly hard to hole punch tests so it's easier to have punch pockets for them and also I do keep some revision notes in them too.

I also like to keep a refill pad at the back of the binder so I can make my revision notes and posters on them. When I took these photos I forgot to take one of the refill pad but it's a really pretty one from Wilko.

In this binder I have a lot of revision posters and for each different thing in a subject (well mainly science) because it helps me remember them a lot more. As you can tell my notes are very colourful and are all done in Sharpie.

Tips

-Have a divider for each subject and in each section you can keep any random sheets, posters and tests.

-Keep a copy of your timetable and any timetables you might make like a revision timetable.

-If you're in class and you don't understand something repeat your notes, make more notes using online resources and answer more questions

-Have plenty of plastic punch pockets for tests

-Keep at home because you don't need it and it's bulky.

That are all my tips on how to make a school binder and I hope you are enjoying my little 3 part school series; the last post in this mini series will be a getting organised post because you were probably all organised at the beginning of the year and now you're not.
