MVC Lockers
At MVC, students can hire their own individual locker for each academic year during their time at the school. The lockers are in the corridor by the gym and are arranged in year group blocks. There are a limited number of lockers and allocation is on a first come first served basis.
The locker rental fee is £10 per year or part-year; no money will be refunded if a child leaves the school part-way through a year, or decides they no longer need the locker. The money pays for the upkeep of the lockers and is a payment, not a refundable deposit. Students who hire a locker will be given a padlock and key. If a spare key is available, this will be retained by Reception.
In July of each Academic year, the school will contact parents/carers to ask whether their child wishes to hire a locker for the next academic year. If so, payment should be made by the deadline requested (usually end September). Students who hire a locker agree to the terms and conditions.
