Case Study

Stamford Park Junior School

A common issue with the use of coat hooks in primary school cloakrooms is that coats and bags can clutter up the floor causing tripping hazards and lost property issues. As storage areas are normally positioned along designated escape routes, the use of coat hooks can also cause problems in emergency situations. Increasingly this is being picked up by Fire Officers during routine fire safety inspections.

Cathryn Downing, Headteacher at Stamford park Junior School, in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, Recognised these issues and recently opted to install 279 multi-colour lockers in red, blue and yellow. The lockers are located in 4 cloakroom areas off the main corridors.

Cathryn said "The lockers have been a real hit with the pupils and staff. The result has been dramatic, with no trip hazards from coats and bags on the floor and there has already been a reduction in lost property."

The lockers also have BioCote® anti-microbial protection as standard which is working to reduce the risks associated with bacterial cross-contamination, a vital consideration in a school environment.
