There are currently no lockers available to hire. More lockers are expected to become available during the week beginning 31 August 2026.

If you have successfully hired a locker, please be patient while your personalised PIN is being set up. Around 150 lockers have been hired so far, and each PIN must be programmed individually. A text message will be sent home when your locker is ready to use.

Please do not come to the office to ask about your locker allocation or PIN this week. Staff are working hard to set up lockers, and dealing with a large number of enquiries slows down the process.

We also need your help to free up more lockers. If you still have belongings in a locker from last session, please empty it as soon as possible. Any lockers containing items on Wednesday 26 August 2026 will be emptied by staff, and the contents will be placed in Lost Property for collection.

The Robot

In a distant, distant past

was a loveable world

that has been cursed

because you chose the robot.

You've destroyed homes

we will forever live in a lost world

because you powered the robot.

The world before was full of hope

but now it's dark and gloomy

because you chose the robot.

You were selfish and cruel

you never thought about the price

and now we take the fall for your actions

we forever live in a sad, dead world.

Why'd you chose the robot?

There will forever be damage

because of the choices you have made

but together, we can turn this sad, dead world

and create one with a little more shine,

we can end the robots.

The Earth may think it's the end

you may think it's the end

but it's only the end

if you choose the robot
