01405 455 018Clearway provides integrated education security systems that monitor campuses, detect threats, and ensure safety for students, staff, and visitors. Education security systems are comprehensive solutions designed to monitor educational institutions, detect potential threats, and ensure the safety of students, staff, and visitors.
The security of students, staff and the general public in school, college, universities is a key concern. Education security systems provide essential protection from safety threats against vulnerable children and pupils, safeguards staff welfare, and ensures that educational sites are safe, well-controlled spaces.
Clearway is a highly experienced education security specialist with decades of expertise. We provide a comprehensive suite of services, advice, consultancy, and guidance, empowering educational providers to enhance their protection, utilise the latest advanced surveillance, and offer added-value assurances for parents, pupils, and workforces that their security and safety are the utmost priorities.



The nature of an education site means legitimate, verified users might require ongoing access to lecture halls, classrooms, dorms, offices, libraries and sports facilities – but with a need to ensure these areas are safeguarded from intrusions. Advanced access controls utilise cutting-edge networks that use biometric scanning, security credentials and facial recognition to ensure only approved personnel and students can enter.

Education-centric visitor management utilises technological capabilities to provide additional security and risk prevention around any area as a low-cost way to defend spaces from suspicious or unknown users. These solutions utilise guest registrations, automatic visitor logs, ID checks and digital document scanning to ensure boarders and on-site staff can enter and exit easily while protecting against unverified entry.

Modern CCTV goes beyond the capabilities of conventional surveillance, incorporating behavioural analytics to spot unusual activities like loitering. Always-on threat detection can pre-empt anything that poses a cause for concern or that needs investigation by on-site security teams. Fixed, broad-scope, and temporary CCTV systems are all available depending on the hazards identified by any campus.

Intruder alarms equipped with the latest technology can differentiate between inadvertent and false alarms and deliberate attempts to bypass controls, force doors or windows, and circumvent security solutions—from wide-scope perimeter intrusion detection around whole campuses to alarms for buildings and dorms.

ANPR has multiple applications in education security. In campus car parks, it can automatically scan the number plate of every vehicle to allow seamless entry for registered personnel, delivery drivers, and students while stopping any unknown vehicle from entering the premises. In public access and paid car parking sites, it can enforce ticketing rules and track entry and exit times to assist in revenue generation.

Many campuses and schools host celebrations, awards evenings, sports fixtures and community events, all of which welcome parents, students, personnel, alumni and partners. Crowd control surveillance provides added safety enforcement, identifying queues and overcrowding, monitoring ringfenced areas, and ensuring security teams are always notified when a situation poses a risk.

Intelligent and AI-enabled CCTV continually scans for suspicious, unusual, or questionable movement patterns as a first line of defence against targeted attacks, thefts and risks to student and staff safety. We offer a full range of solutions, from hardwired fixed CCTV at main entrances and gates to outdoor surveillance for playing fields and perimeters.

Advancements in AI surveillance have profoundly impacted how security professionals predict risks and respond to emerging situations before they become critical emergencies. Integrating AI functionality into educational security systems boosts response times, threat recognition and safety-first controls.
For many education clients we work with, the biggest concern is pupil or student safety, regardless of whether threats relate to dorms, classrooms, social activities, or journeys around the site.
While the ideal education security systems will always be adapted to your location and layout, we’ve outlined some of the many issues that high-quality solutions can protect against.
Student Safeguarding Concerns:
Colleges, universities, and childcare centres often have pupils for whom personal safety and protection are paramount. AI-enabled education security can continually scan faces, number plates and suspicious activities to ensure anyone prohibited from having content with a child cannot get anywhere near the grounds.
Opportunist Entry Attempts:
Larger school sites and those with sporting facilities, science labs and research centres often house assets of considerable value – making intrusions likely, especially during holidays when buildings are assumed to be empty. Always-on surveillance, proactive alarms and warnings can pre-empt and deter thieves and intruders attempting to enter a building anywhere on campus.
Reputational Damage:
An intrusion or theft on a school site can cause understandable concern among students and parents, making it pivotal that educational providers implement the right security measures to protect personal belongings, high-value equipment, vehicles, and sensitive data from unauthorised access or use.

We are a specialist security company with decades of experience. We collaborate with education providers of all sizes, from small rural schools and boarding halls to larger universities and further educational establishments.
Our priority is to offer contextual, relevant, and on-budget guidance, whatever your prevalent risks or hazards. We ensure our clients implement leading security solutions that provide peace of mind and the reassurance that every metre of the site is under continual supervision.
We’re often asked for one standout recommendation. Still, it’s usually a combination of surveillance, emergency planning, data protection, perimeter security, and visitor management that makes one educational centre or campus feel safer, better protected, and more comfortable travelling around than another.
Access controls aren’t just about providing an entry code or swiping a pass—they can incorporate facial recognition, biometric scanning, and advanced behavioural analytics to ensure known and verified students and staff can come and go as they please without any potential that an unrecognised individual or vehicle can enter the site without intervention.
