Locker Space

Everything has gone up.

Manufacturing.
Shipping.
Labour.
Software.
Merchant fees.

So what do most companies do?

Put their prices up.

We didn’t.

Since day one, our lowest locker offering has stayed at just £1.65 per month.

Why?

Because schools are under pressure.
Parents are under pressure.
And making student life easier shouldn’t become another financial headache.

But here’s the part I’m most proud of…

By building relationships with over 15,000 happy parents, we’ve now been able to leverage partner savings and offers that allow us to provide lockers completely FREE to both the parent and the school.

That’s the kind of model we believe education suppliers should be building.

Less pressure.
More value.
Better support for schools and families.

A genuine win-win.

Most schools we speak to already have lockers.

They’re just not working.

Keys get lost.
Doors get damaged.
No one wants to manage them.
So they sit there… unused or ignored.

At the same time, students are carrying everything around all day.

And staff end up dealing with the fallout.

Here’s the part that surprises people:

👉 You don’t need budget to fix it.

We install, manage and maintain a full locker system.

No cost to the school.
No admin for staff.
No capital spend.

Parents handle bookings.
We handle everything else.

Simple.

If your lockers aren’t being used properly, or you’ve written them off completely, it’s worth a conversation.

Would your school benefit from a system that actually runs itself?

I saw a photo this week of students revising for an exam…

on IV drips.

At first I thought it was fake.

It wasn’t.

It’s from China’s Gaokao — a single exam taken by 13.4 million students that can determine their entire future.

Some students study 15+ hours a day preparing for it.

Only 40% get into any university.
Around 5% make it to the elite ones.

That level of pressure produces incredible academic results.

But it also raises a serious question.

When does pushing students to succeed become pushing them too far?

Would you build an education system around one life-defining exam?

Or is there a better way?

Schools rarely struggle with the big things.

It’s the small jobs that quietly take up time.

Locker allocations.
Lost keys.
Parent queries.

Individually they’re simple.
Together they create constant admin.

That’s why more schools are starting to outsource small operational tasks.

Not because they can’t do them.

Because their time is better spent elsewhere.

The small school service nobody talks about… but it quietly eats time and money Title: The small school service nobody talks about… but it quietly eats time and money I was reading about a school trust recently facing a £9.2 million deficit across 25 schools.

Phone bans in schools aren’t a debate anymore.
They’re a governance decision.

Nearly 40% of education systems globally now restrict student phone use.
Australia? Done.
France, Netherlands, New Zealand? Implemented.
More US states adding legislation each year.

In the UK, we’re in the “inevitable” phase.

For governors and MAT leaders, this isn’t about being anti-tech.

It’s about:

• Safeguarding risk
• Behaviour standards
• Academic focus
• Reputational exposure

One viral corridor video can undo years of culture building.

The real issue isn’t “Should we ban phones?”

It’s “Do we have a system that actually works?”

Because policy without structure equals daily confrontation.

Early movers shape the culture.
Late movers manage the fallout.

If you sit on a board, here’s the question:

Are you leading this change, or waiting to be forced into it?
