But every now and then, there comes along a day when it can all be a bit different – and that can often be very exicting and make the school day even more memorable.
Whether it’s being a book character, a favourite singer or just recreating the look from a different bygone era, dress up and costume days at schools are always about one more than just the reason for doing it – thery’re about fun too.
Here’s some great shots of dress up and costume days from the Chad’s archives.
