Anything around the £300 mark, suitable for high school work and the occasional bit of gaming?

Toughy for that price. You might be best to take a look at (for example) some refurb models. You can get Dell Inspirons for £275 with a Core i3, 8GB RAM and 1TB HDD if you don't mind the odd cosmetic mark. Anything with a Core i5 or SSD is likely to be out of reach price wise unless you go for a second hand one.
Such laptops should be capable of a few basic games (especially slightly older ones) if you're careful with the graphics settings.

Matt pointed me at this one. Looks like a stunningly good deal, but I bet the price doesn't stay that low (looking to buy at end of month)

It's not bad, but there's Inspirons on the Dell outlet with an almost identical spec, but for £275.
For example...

Toughy actually. Until Ryzen, AMD have been unable to compete at the high end, but their budget CPUs weren't bad. Looking around, performance of that CPU is almost identical to the Core
i3-7100U in the Inspiron I linked to earlier, however with the Radeon graphics bolted on, you'll probably see better gaming performance from it.
Given that it's £25 cheaper as well, the AMD one might be worth considering.
