School Site-Wide Access Control

Access controls maximise the efficiency of gated entrances, doors, bollards and car parking areas, ensuring any individual approaching is cross-checked against a database and only permitted entry if verified via facial recognition, biometrics or a security pass.

Advanced Visitor Management Systems

Schools must ensure visitors are welcomed, from parents to extracurricular club providers, caterers, and delivery drivers. Visitor management ensures each arrival is approved and authenticated, and their arrival and departure times are logged.

School CCTV Systems

A modern school CCTV system uses intelligent video analytics to compare known patterns and movements with anything unusual, such as tracking, monitoring, and raising alarms when an object, person, vehicle, or other incident requires prompt investigation.

Intruder Alarms for Schools

School intruder alarms safeguard against attempts to break into premises, outbuildings, storage bays, and portable classrooms. They alert security teams of any effort to open a door or window or, with perimeter intrusion controls, when covert efforts indicate attempts to scale a fence or gate.

Crowd Control Monitoring for Schools

Particularly relevant for large school and college campuses and events like fairs, sports days and celebration evenings, crowd control can flag congestion points, actively monitor movement flows, and act as security surveillance during busy periods and events.

What Do We Protect Against?

Clearway’s security advisers implement full-coverage systems that protect school staff, parents, guardians, and students. Our systems are used in schools ranging from smaller local primary schools to larger colleges and campuses with vast grounds, multiple buildings, and large faculties and student bodies.

We focus on ensuring school security systems work fast, protect perimeters, and differentiate between normal activities and those outside the norm, pre-empting potential intrusion threats or intentions to circumvent access controls before they occur.

School Intrusions and Trespassing:

Every school must be certain that nobody can enter the building, grounds, or car parks without permission. This ensures that criminal thefts, break-ins overnight or during school holidays, and deliberate, targeted intrusions are immediately spotted.

Violence and Aggression:

From detecting knives brought into school grounds to spotting threatening postures and behaviours that impact the safety of reception staff, AI-augmented CCTV can detect a wide range of emergency scenarios that require a fast security response.

Illicit Behaviour:

Deep learning allows AI-led CCTV to detect any unwanted, suspicious, or concerning behaviour, from dropped and concealed items to climbing fences or walls, vaping on school grounds, or attempts to abscond from school.

Threats Against Looked-After Children:

Many schools have pupils for whom safety is paramount. School security can proactively safeguard looked-after and vulnerable children. It can be programmed to inform the police if a known person not permitted to contact the student is identified as close to the school grounds.
