The waiting list is so that we can ascertain how many extra lockers we require for a school. All schools are limited by space as to how many lockers we can install in each area. If possible we will install as many lockers as required, but sometimes there is no more physical space.

In new schools we only install lockers that are booked by the start of the Summer break plus 10%. So please book early to avoid your child not having a locker for the start of the school year.

If enough people request lockers we will revisit the school to ascertain whether we can install more lockers.

If your details are on the waiting list we will contact you if more lockers are installed in your school. Please do not keep calling and emailing us to ask what is happening. We will contact you if lockers become available. We will not contact you to say we still have no lockers.
