Benefits of Planning Your School Lockers Installation During the UK Holidays
With your school term in full swing, as your students are studying for upcoming exams, and your teachers are helping them learn, the last thing you’ll be thinking about right now is installing new school lockers during the UK holidays.
But before you know it – the academic year will have flown by, and the Easter or Summer holidays have snuck up on you! Whilst your staff and students are enjoying a well-earned rest, this is actually the perfect time to book in your locker installation.
Whether you are installing brand-new lockers or replacing your old ones, there are numerous benefits to planning to get the work completed during the holidays. To name a few:
Minimal Disruption
During the term time, your students should be focusing on their studies. This means avoiding any distractions at all costs. With building works taking place, there tends to be a lot of noise and movement of bulky items and equipment, which could distract your students to the point where they lose all concentration. Whilst you could close off certain areas of your premises, restricted access could interfere with lessons if there aren’t enough classrooms.
On the other hand, if you decide to install your school lockers during the UK holidays, your students can simply return to a calm environment without having to experience the disruption that would have occurred. With unobstructed access to all areas, installers can work quickly and efficiently to get the installation complete on time before the term starts again.
Speaking of distractions – the great thing about lockers is that your students can lock their phones away during the school day, creating the ideal learning environment.
Health & Safety
The safety of your students is of the utmost importance. With ongoing work in progress, tools and materials scattered across cloakrooms, corridors, classrooms, and changing rooms can cause health and safety risks, trip hazards and other issues.
With fewer people on your premises, the less likely accidents will occur due to installation work. This way, both your students and staff can stay safe at home during their time off, whilst your school lockers are getting a well-deserved upgrade.
Streamlined Installation Process
By organising your locker installation during the school holidays, you can avoid the logistical nightmares of having to work around timetables and day-to-day routines of school life, which come with the hustle and bustle between classes and during lunch breaks. You’ll also have time for preparation beforehand, as well as cleaning afterwards.
A complete fit-out requires a longer duration to allow for comprehensive checks and to add those perfect finishing touches. For unexpected delays, you don’t have to worry about students returning the following day, only to find their lockers aren’t ready yet!
Crown School Top Tip: If your installation is larger or on the more complex side, the Summer holidays might be a better time to schedule your project than during the Easter holidays, as they allow for more time.
Planning Your Locker Project
When it comes to planning your locker project, you’ll need to decide how many you’ll need, where you want to install them, what types of locking mechanisms and designs you prefer, as well as which colours and finishes to complement your school’s interior and branding. There’s a lot to consider – and don’t forget to allocate a budget for your lockers, along with installation costs.
Not sure where to start? The first thing you need to do is contact a school locker supplier who can meet your needs. They can provide you with a quote, offer professional advice, and visit your school to complete a site survey. Feel free to take a look at our Brochure for inspiration.
If you want to book your school lockers installation during the UK holidays, we highly recommend contacting them sooner rather than later so that they can book you in at a time that suits your schedule.
