Secondary School Photo ID Cards: Simple, Smart, and Eco-Friendly

Running a secondary school is busy enough without having to worry about complicated ID systems. You just need to know who is supposed to be in the hallway and who isn't, right?

That’s where we come in. We provide simple, visual Photo ID cards that help you build a safe, friendly community on campus. Whether you are looking for cards for your Year 7s or your Teachers, we have preset designs ready to go.

Plus, we know that schools are trying to be greener these days. That’s why our cards are made from biodegradable plastic. They look professional, they do the job, but they won’t be sitting in a landfill for the next 500 years.

It’s ID made easy, and kind to the planet.

Student ID Cards

Help your students feel part of the community.

For students, an ID card is often their first little step into the "professional" world. It gives them a sense of belonging to their year group and their school. Our student range is designed to be bright, clear, and easy to read to help students and staff alike.

Teacher And Staff ID Cards

Professional identification for your team.

It’s important for students, parents, and visitors to know exactly who they are talking to. Our staff cards are designed with clarity in mind, ensuring that names and roles are front and center. Whether it’s for a permanent member of staff or a supply teacher, these cards help maintain a friendly and secure atmosphere.

Want ID Cards Made Especially For Your School?

We know that sometimes "off-the-shelf" isn't quite right. Maybe you have a very specific school crest, a unique colour for your Sixth Formers, or you just want something that looks totally different from the school down the road.

We have a Custom Card Design Service for exactly that reason.

If you want to create something unique, we’d love to help. Just drop us an email to let us know what you’re thinking to theteam@thecardproject.uk and we’ll work with you to create a design that fits your school perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the cards made of?

A: We are really proud to use biodegradable plastic. We know schools are working hard to be more sustainable, and we want to support that. They feel just like standard plastic cards, but they are much kinder to the environment.

Q: Can these cards be used for door access or the cafeteria tills?

A: No, these are purely visual ID cards. They are designed so you can quickly see who someone is, but they don't have chips or magnetic strips for cashless catering or electric door systems.

Q: We need a specific colour to match our school branding. Can you do that?

A: Definitely. That’s where our Custom Design Service comes in. Just email us your school colours (or logo), and we can create a design that matches your branding perfectly.

Q: What happens if a student loses their card?

A: We know how it goes—things get lost! If you've opened an account with us then you'll be able to access your previously ordered cards. So whether you need just one card for a forgetful student or a whole batch, we can sort it out quickly.

Q: Do you sell lanyards to go with them?

A: Yes, we do. An ID card isn't much use if it's stuck in a blazer pocket! We have a range of lanyards and holders to keep the cards visible and safe. You can see them all in our Accessories category
