From reception to playgrounds, classrooms to staff areas – we design systems around the needs of your school. Here’s how we handle each area without you needing to manage the detail:
School Fire Detection
& Alarm Systems
Addressable fire alarm systems with zone-based detection for classrooms, halls and staff areas. Age-appropriate alarm tones that alert without causing panic for young children. Automatic docs and compliance records ready for inspections and Ofsted visits.
School Fire Risk
Assessments
Professional assessments identify fire hazards across your school buildings, providing detailed reports with actionable recommendations. Regular updates ensure compliance, while documentation ensures you’re ready for Ofsted inspections and insurance requirements.
School Main Entrance
& Visitor Management
Control who enters your school with visitor management linked to your fire alarm and access control. Sign-in tablets create digital visitor logs. Instant alerts when someone enters or exits. Audit-ready visitor records stored automatically for safeguarding inspections.
School Access Control
& Safeguarding
Control access to school buildings, classrooms, science cupboards and staff areas with fob or keycard systems. Separate permissions for staff, contractors and after-school clubs. Restrict hazardous materials access. Track entries for safeguarding records.
Fire & Security for School Playgrounds & Outdoor Areas
CCTV coverage for playgrounds, sports areas and school perimeters. Systems designed to enhance pupil safety while respecting privacy. Remote viewing lets senior staff monitor outdoor areas during breaks and after-school activities.

FAQs
What fire and security systems do schools typically need?
It depends on your school size, number of buildings and age of pupils. Most schools need: fire detection with age-appropriate alarm tones for classrooms and halls, main entrance door entry and visitor management systems, access control to restrict building access to authorised staff only, and CCTV for playgrounds and entry points. Nurseries and EYFS settings have additional safeguarding requirements. We assess your specific school and recommend what makes sense for your setting.
How do you minimise disruption during install?
We schedule installs during school holidays for minimal impact on teaching and learning. All our engineers working in schools are DBS-checked. We work efficiently and clean up thoroughly. For larger projects, we phase the work to complete different areas across holiday periods. Systems are fully tested and ready before term starts.
Are your engineers DBS-checked?
Do you offer maintenance contracts for schools?
Can your systems meet safeguarding requirements?
Yes. Our access control systems provide visitor logs and entry records required for safeguarding compliance. Main entrance systems ensure all visitors are screened before entry. CCTV coverage supports safeguarding policies while respecting pupil privacy. Access permissions can be tailored to different staff roles and responsibilities. All records are stored in your portal ready for Ofsted inspections or safeguarding audits.
