Leighton Park School, Reading was established in 1890. Set in 60 acres of beautiful parkland, within walking distance of Reading town centre, the school offers a vibrant learning community, where the students have the time and space to live, learn and grow.
Like all schools, Leighton Park takes the security of its staff, pupils, their possessions, its premises and equipment very seriously.
Currently the school has approximately 500 students between the ages of 11 and 18. The majority of the school’s students are boarders, so security is paramount throughout the school’s facilities.
Celebrating their 125th anniversary, Leighton Park School are committed
to investing in their educational environment for both current and future students. With expensive equipment and facilities, it is vitally important Chris Lewis Fire and Security keep the security in and around the premises up to date to ensure maximum protection is provided for everyone in the school.
Chris Lewis Fire & Security (CLFS) have been working with Leighton Park School for over eight years, both extending and continually improving the security of the school. With flexibility in the length of the school day, and the provision of over ten school transport routes, the school requires stringent perimeter security, all year round.
Leighton Park School required barriers to be installed at the front entrance of the school giving controlled access permission to regular visitors as well as monitoring the flow of traffic in and out
“Chris Lewis Fire and Security have always provided us with first class solutions. They always put our staff and pupils safety first. We are glad that we used a school security expert.”

A: Outdoor wind and sun can easily affect the surface temperatures of human bodies and the working status of the camera, which results in a deviation between the measured body surface temperature and the actual body temperature. To ensure the accuracy, we strongly recommend applying the solutions indoors.
A: No. At present, cameras with accuracy higher than ±0.5℃ require real-time calibration with a blackbody and intelligent compensation. The accuracy of a blackbody calibrator is currently ±0.1℃. So it is impossible to achieve ±0.1℃ accuracy by the cameras. Solutions with higher accuracy ±0.3℃ are available.
A: The camera detects human bodies when screening. It supports up to 30 persons at a time. But still we recommend to carry out temperature measurement person by person.
A: The cameras are able to use human body detection technology, so other heat sources will not cause false alarms.
A: The cameras need to be warmed up before using. Turn them on and wait for 5 minutes (handheld camera), 30 minutes (bullet / turret camera).
A: Only supported by high-end models (TP21B). Not supported by economical models (TP31B).
