Security and safeguarding systems for schools

Safeguarding starts at the gate

Controlled entry is the backbone of a secure site. We fit Paxton access control and video intercoms on gates and reception doors, so visitors are seen and identified before they reach pupils.

Panic alarms, lockdown and PA

Panic buttons and lockdown alerts give staff a clear, distinct signal across the whole site in seconds, separate from the fire alarm. Lockdown can also lock controlled doors automatically. We design systems around your lockdown policy and can add PA for announcements. Many schools will also be in scope of Martyn's Law, expected in Spring 2027.

Fire alarms through our partners

School fire alarm installation and maintenance is delivered to BS 5839 by our approved fire specialist partners, coordinated by us, so security and fire safety are planned as one project with one point of contact.

Visitor management at reception

Replace the paper signing-in book with an Inventry sign-in system: visitors sign in on a screen, get a photo ID badge, and you have a live list of everyone on site for fire roll calls and lockdowns. See visitor management.

Planned around the school day

We survey with your site team, phase work around term dates and do disruptive work in holidays or after school. RAMS and documentation are supplied for every project.
