We all go about our working day with assurance that our children are safe at school, and so are their personal belongings.

The security and protection of our children are paramount, and our schools have a significant role to play.

Shelving and lockers in schools are a handy way to present and store delicate items that are not in everyday use. Inside and outside of the classroom. Shelving, allows belongings and items to be kept in a safe and secure place where they are less likely to be damaged or cause damage if they fall into the wrong hands.

There are two excellent schools near where we are based in Oldham:

Oldham Hulme Grammar School- Which is a traditional independent grammar school for boys and girls from 3-18. (The children are mixed in nursery and 6th form and taught for other years). Where they believe care and learning extends beyond the classroom.

Crompton House School- Church of England school- This is an outstanding specialist school for the Arts, Drama, music and art are particular strengths. Here they believe in fulfilling and exceeding each students potential.

Both these schools are an excellent example of how organisation and management create outstanding results and teaches students to respect each other. Management of resources are vital to success, efficient shelving can be useful for storing all type of books and stationary that need to be close to the students for regular use. We all know money is tight in the education system and well managed and monitored resources can save unnecessary expenditure. When a school is un-managed it becomes chaotic with resources being on desks and tables all at once where they become damaged and disrespected. A little organisation goes a long way and Oldham Hulme Grammar School and Crompton House School are an excellent model of management, both of resources and students and their belongings. Monarch Shelving provide a range of shelving suitable for in and out of the classroom.

In large schools, in this day and age students like to keep their personal items close to them, such as mobile phones, however, in a classroom this is distracting.

Providing lockers allows students to have their own personal place where they can lock away their belongings until break times. Lockers can be purchased from Monarch Shelving. It is essential to provide this for the student’s belongings, whether it be expensive items like an iPad or mobile or just their packed lunches. Providing locker also deters from theft and instills a sense of responsibility into students.
