You will receive your personal identification (ID) badge at the beginning of term. This is issued free of charge.
The ID Badge is made up of three parts:
- A lanyard with a breakaway & clip
- A card holder
- Your identification card
Your ID Badge has several important functions
- Printing and copying - you can log into the machines with your ID Badge to access your printing and to photocopy
- Unlocking doors as you move around school
- To pay for food and drink - Parents & Carers can load money onto your ParentPay account so that you may buy food and drink from the Dining Room
When you receive your ID Badge, a ring will be fastened to the lanyard. This ring is for your locker key, it is important that you use this ring and not the clip which can be easily damaged.
Looking after your ID Badge - Common Reasons for Damage to Cards, Card Holders and Lanyard
- Using the breakaway on your lanyard as a means to remove your ID
