Primary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The use of lockers in primary schools is growing rapidly for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\tStaff can keep equipment and supplies safely stored out of children\u2019s reach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 2.\tPupils have a safe place to keep their belongings \u2013 in favour over the traditional drawer systems <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\tMembers of staff can also safely secure their belongings without the worry of them getting into the wrong hands <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\tLaptops and tablets are now used more than ever in education and having somewhere safe and secure to store them is essential<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\n giving pupils their own lockers it teaches them to take responsibility \nfor their own stuff and also gives teachers peace of mind that \nbelongings wont get muddled up between pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our top suggestions for lockers in Primary Schools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\t\u2018School Lockers\u2019\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2.\t\u2018Cube Lockers\u2019 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From \u00a331.24<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cube<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3.\t\u2018Plastic Lockers\u2019 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From \u00a379.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plastic<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plastic\n lockers are particularly popular with schools due to their ability to \nbe stored outdoors. This frees up valuable indoor space and makes use of\n outdoor space. These lockers are also easy to maintain and can simply \nbe hosed down for cleaning. They are ideal for storing all sorts of \nequipment including outdoor sports equipment and more. Our range of \nplastic lockers are all fun and cool looking adding a modern twist to \nany playground!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\t\u2018LapCabby Lockers\u2019 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From \u00a3641.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"LapCabby<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t\n be put off by the price tags of these lockers \u2013 they\u2019re worth it! With \nthe fast growing increase of laptops and tablets being used in schools, \nthese lockers provide the ultimate safe and secure place to store them. \nLockers may be slightly the wrong term for them as they are mobile, more\n like trolleys. They also come with in built charging ports so that \ngoods stored inside can be safely charged over night or when not in use.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When pupils reach secondary school \ntheir whole school schedule is flipped upside down. They go from \nspending every day in the same couple of class rooms in primary school \nto having to navigate a large school complex several times a day. Due to\n the increase in classes and classrooms students have to carry many \nbooks and bags around with them on a daily basis. This is why having \nlockers is essential to save them time and back ache. By having \nsomewhere safe to store their books and kits when not in use, students \ncan save themselves a lot of messing around and unnecessary pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary School Lockers suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\t\u2018Economy Lockers\u2019 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
