Update School Buildings With Student Lockers

There are many benefits to having school lockers, so educational establishments might consider investing in the furniture for their students. 

Prevent back injury

Thanks to having a huge variety of lessons, pupils have to carry a lot of books, sports apparatus and equipment. 

Without a locker, they might end up having to carry a hockey stick, guitar, and food tech ingredients around with them all day, on top of their normal school work. 

This could result in damage to their backs, according to the Spine and Joint Centre, which said a heavy school bag can change a child’s posture, affect joints and cause muscle strains. 

Security 

Having lockers also improves security, as personal possessions are locked away when they are not in use. This means students do not have to worry about their mobile phones or purses when in PE, expensive coats or sports gear during school lessons, or costly instruments at assembly time. 

Encourage responsibility 

They also help encourage responsibility among students, as they have to keep their belongings secured and locked away. If they get used to losing things or items being stolen, this will diminish the value of their possessions, and therefore, might be more tempted to take someone else’s in replacement. 

Keeping their items safe teaches them the value of their stuff, so they look after it properly. 

Tidier school 

The school also massively benefits from fitting lockers, as it makes the whole premises much tidier. Instead of heaps of bags and coats outside the assembly hall or on the side of the football pitch, things can be locked away so everywhere looks much neater and less chaotic.
