School lockers does your school have enough for each child?

None at all at Dd's school. We never had any either at school and we coped. She has to carry all her stuff all day there is nowhere to leave it. If they lose anything it's the childs responsibility.

Dd1 and ds's schools have lockers for everyone, in their classrooms or sixth form common room. Dd2 and dd3's school only has lockers for y7 and y8, so dd2 doesn't have one but dd3 does.

Dd1 and ds use theirs all the time.
Dd3 uses hers in the day, but (a month into y7) worries that she'll confused about what's where if she leaves her books there overnight!

Dd2 seems to have managed carrying things around ok.

No, my kids don't lose things often. And I blame them if they do (Although when stuff doesn't make it to lost property it's annoying. ds's school is particularly bad for leaving a kit bag in one room and then finding it under a tree three days later!)

I don't think they have any at all and it is rubbish.

That's a lot of questions.

Does your secondary school have enough lockers for each student?
Yes, but some are a long way from the classrooms, and there is only time to go there at break time.

Does your DC use the locker if they have one?
One uses it every day. The other never uses it, and didn't bother getting one this year.

If your DC doesn't have a locker how do you feel about them carting around all their books, PE equipment all day?
DS1 has a good backpack (North Face recon) which helps their backs. It's not ideal though. DS2 has clarinet on the same day as rugby which would make it tricky without a locker.

Do they often lose things at school?
No.

Do you hold the school or your child responsible if they lose property?
The child. We give them a few days to find the item, then charge them a proportion of the cost of replacement.

The school have enough for about 15% of students. DD1 had a locker in her first year but found it too much hassle to be going back and forth to get things and going back at the end of the day, so she never got one the next years. She doesn't mind carrying all her things and she's never lost anything.
