School name badges serve several purposes at once — identification, safeguarding, and professionalism. For staff, a consistent badge with name and role makes it immediately clear who someone is to parents, visitors and supply staff. For visitors, a temporary badge with a clear "Visitor" or "Contractor" label is a straightforward safeguarding measure. For students in roles of responsibility — prefects, reading mentors, school council — a badge marks their role clearly and carries a bit of weight.
Staff badges
Staff badges can be ordered with name, job title and school logo engraved. Available in oak veneered MDF or FSC-certified bamboo. Pin, magnetic or pin-and-clip fastening — magnetic is the most popular as it doesn't damage clothing. Double-sided badges with lanyards are available for staff who prefer to wear their badge around their neck rather than clipped to clothing.
Visitor and contractor badges
Reusable visitor badge options are available for schools that need a writeable surface for temporary visitor names — the blackboard-style badge lets you write a name in chalk or chalk pen, then wipe and reuse. Ideal for schools with regular visitors where engraving individual names isn't practical.
