The brand has brought some of its iconic LEGO brick designs to life in various forms, ensuring there's something for everyone.
LEGO isn't the only retailer already launching its back-to-school range early this year, with Marks and Spencer kicking off the countdown with its Back to School range in stores across the country. M&S also has a variety of online-exclusives, including a pack of two Boys' Non-Iron School Shirts priced at £9 to £15.
Argos is another retailer offering a vast selection of uniform items and school accessories at wallet-friendly prices. Bargain hunters can pick up a 2 Pack Unisex Polo Shirts for as little as £3.

Returning to LEGO, we've compiled a list of our favourite products ideal for kids heading back to school, as initially reported by the Manchester Evening News. There are also some items that adults might find handy for the office, days out or home use.
LEGO 4-Stud Desk Drawer - £14.99
Studying can be a challenge when the desk becomes overrun with clutter. Desk organisers can provide the perfect solution, and this particular model comes in a selection of colours and has been designed to resemble the iconic 4x4 LEGO brick.
Featuring a pull-out drawer, it's ideal for hiding away things like pens, pencils and bits of paper when not in use, yet easily accessible for when they're needed. Just like normal-sized LEGO blocks, these drawers can be stacked on top of one another for the perfect space-saving organisation system that's perfect for any kid who's into LEGO.

Hydration Bottle - £15.99
Maintaining hydration whilst studying is vital for children's concentration. One method to ensure they consume enough water is by providing them with a trendy water bottle that they'll be keen to use.
This sleek design from LEGO is subtly stylish, mirroring the shape of most traditional bottles, but upon closer inspection, LEGO fans will recognise that the lid is actually shaped like a blue LEGO stud. This stud-shaped cap can be unscrewed to reveal a drinking hole, and there's also a convenient clip attached to the lid to prevent it from being misplaced during the hustle and bustle of a school day.

S&P 500 and Nasdaq notch record high closes, lifted by Alphabet
July 21 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq notched record high closes on Monday, lifted by Alphabet and other megacaps ahead of several earnings reports this week, while investors bet on potential trade deals to blunt economic damage from the Trump administration's global tariffs. Google-parent Alphabet rallied ahead of its quarterly report on Wednesday. It and Tesla, also reporting on Wednesday, kick off earnings from the so-called 'Magnificent Seven,' and their results may set the tone for other heavyweight companies reporting in the next several days. Apple and Amazon each gained and helped lift the S&P 500. Verizon rallied after the telecommunications company boosted its annual profit forecast. Analysts on average expected S&P 500 companies to report a 6.7% increase in earnings for the second quarter, with Big Tech driving much of that gain, according to LSEG I/B/E/S. 'So far, companies that have reported have, in general, met or beat guidance from the prior quarter, and we haven't seen any degradation either in corporate profits or consumer spending,' said Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis. With U.S. President Donald Trump's August 1 tariff deadline approaching, the S&P 500 .SPX is up about 8% year to date, with investors betting the economic damage from tariffs will be less than feared. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Sunday he was confident the United States could secure a trade deal with the European Union, even as EU members explored possible countermeasures against the United States. Trump has threatened 30% tariffs on imports from Mexico and the EU, and sent letters to other trading partners, including Canada, Japan and Brazil, setting tariffs ranging from 20% to 50%. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 9.63 points, or 0.15%, to end at 6,306.42 points, while the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 82.99 points, or 0.40%, to 20,978.64. The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 3.08 points, or 0.01%, to 44,339.11. Investors focused on how tariff uncertainty is impacting the U.S. economy will scrutinize jobless claims data and the July business activity report, expected on Thursday. They will also watch a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday for clues about when the Fed might cut interest rates, especially after mixed inflation signals last week. Traders have largely ruled out a July rate cut, and they now see a greater than 50% chance the Fed will cut by its September meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool.
