mainly used for carrying around a pencil case, water, folders, laptop and odd bits. While I understand durability comes at a cost, I have a budget of £50. Thanks and I look foward to responding to your suggestions

My experience with Jansport has been solid. I think I’ve had the same J bag for over 20 years now, daily pack ala manpurse. Been through the washer/dryer a couple times, but I try to minimize that.
Jansport 20 years ago must be a lot different than Jansport today. My experience with them has been paying $60 for a bag that lasts as long as a $20 one.
Swiss Gear makes bags that last buy holy shit $200 for a backpack is outrageous. I only have one because it was gifted to me.
Try to find one from 15 years ago.
The watchtower or lighthouse model is GOAT. (tower-something)
EDIT: I just looked at a couple of online pictures, and the ones listed look like standard-cheap-backpack-fabric, not the rip-stop that I got 15yrs ago. YMMV
