Fire Alarms for Schools

Fire Alarms for Schools

Clearway installs fire alarm systems that detect smoke and heat, ensuring early warnings and rapid responses to protect students and staff. Fire alarm systems are safety installations designed to detect smoke and heat, providing early warnings and rapid responses to protect occupants from fire hazards.

Clearway provides fire alarm systems to schools, colleges, universities and boarding halls across the UK. Our consultants ensure you make informed, regulatory-compliant decisions when it comes to installing fire alarms for your education facility.

The safety of students, staff and visitors should be the first priority for any school. Robust fire safety controls, rapid responsiveness, immediate detection of early-stage ignitions, and campus-wide attendance logs are a key part of every education security setup. They ensure that any possible fire risk is identified, mitigated, and monitored continually.

We specialise in introducing fire alarm solutions that proactively defend the well-being of students, faculty, and visitors, while fostering a welcome learning environment where fire risks are under complete control.

Factors Impacting the Right Type of Fire Alarms for Your Business

School Fire alarm Installation

Clearway’s high-specification, site-wide fire alarm systems provide comprehensive protection for schools, ensuring rapid detection and response to fire hazards.

We offer analogue, conventional, and addressable installations, tailored to meet the unique needs of primary schools, colleges, and universities.

Our solutions include public address and voice evacuation controls, enabling clear communication during emergencies, as well as on and off-site control panel management for real-time oversight.

Fire Alarm Systems

Clearway Fire Detection

School Fire Detection Systems

Intelligent fire detection solutions far surpass the functionality of manually activated call points or static smoke detectors, picking up on initial signs of a suspected fire, such as elevated heat signatures and ash particles.

Our fire detection devices are accredited to all relevant standards, including BAFE SP203-1 and ISO 9001:2015. We can advise on the ideal systems, configurations, set-ups and access points and demonstrate why integrated fire detection reduces false alarms, unnecessary evacuations or distress while activating rapid responses when a fire has been confirmed.

Clearway - Fire Suppression

School Fire Suppression

Fire suppression installations can greatly impact the severity of a fire, ensuring an early ignition or blaze is controlled or isolated until the emergency services can attend. These solutions are ideal for school campuses, safeguarding people and assets from fire and smoke damage and ensuring sufficient time for a full premises evacuation without threats to the safety of your staff and students.

Fire Suppression Systems

Clearway Time and Attendance Solution

Time and Attendance Tracking

Knowing precisely who is on the premises, in which buildings and the staff member responsible for each pupil is essential. Digital time and attendance tracking can verify the specific count of individuals, automatically log entrances and exits, and ensure that, in the event of a fire, or when checking that safe staff-to-student ratios are being maintained, every child and every member of staff is accounted for.

Time and Attendance Tracking

Fire Extinguisher Installation

While every school requires fire extinguishing equipment, the quality, ease of use, and placement of those extinguishers are paramount. We can advise on the best types of extinguishers for each unit, department, or classroom, recommend steps to demonstrate best practice compliance with health and safety, legislation, and insurance requirements, and provide ongoing servicing to keep every extinguisher in ready-to-use condition.

Clearway Fire Roll Call Solution

Fire Roll Call Installation

Ideally, school fire evacuations are well-controlled and calm. The best way to achieve this and avoid preventable safety risks is to have a defined roll call system, with zero confusion or ambiguity about exit routes, assembly points, the stage at which roll calls are initiated, and how to verify that every pupil and person on the campus is present. This helps to confirm when a building is safe to return to, introduces efficiencies to address specific concerns such as evacuations for students with disabilities, or identifies the alternatives when a main exit route is unsafe or blocked.

Fire Alarm Monitoring

Typically, the most serious school fires occur outside of term time or overnight when an electrical malfunction, gas leak, or ignition caused by a flammable item being exposed to heat is not detected swiftly enough before the blaze spreads out of control. Our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) teams operate 24/7, 365 days a year, logging every fire alarm, verifying whether or not the alert is genuine, and liaising with your safety managers and the emergency services as necessary.

Fire Alarm Monitoring

What Do We Protect Against?

Many schools have several areas within their campuses that have elevated fire risks, including server rooms, storage spaces, kitchens, cookery, design and technology classrooms, science labs and boiler rooms.

However, the best approach to selecting always-on, highly reliable school fire alarms is to review every aspect, from foot traffic to entry points, policies for the disposal of waste, controls of fires within catering facilities and labs, and how well you current evacuation, roll call, attendance tracking and pre-emptive fire detection solutions meet your key safety requirements.

School Arson

Unfortunately, arson is a leading cause of school fires, responsible for a large % of school fires. It can be triggered deliberately through misuse of matches or lighters or targeted arson attacks by current or previous students. Incorporating security controls and monitoring alongside proactive fire alarms can prevent arson from occurring and ensure the response is swift should an arson attack be successful.

Faulty Wiring Fires

Malfunctions and surges within schools can create significant fire risks, especially if older equipment or appliances are left on or live when the school is empty. Responsive fire alarms can detect even subtle early indications that a point of ignition represents an elevated risk, preventing accidental fires from occurring or spreading.

School Kitchen Fires

The right fire alarms, suppression equipment, and emergency evacuation protocols can prevent a large proportion of fires that originate in kitchens or cookery departments. They raise the alarm immediately when a fire is detected or suspected and manage the situation to ensure it is contained and put out as quickly as possible.

Flammable Substance School Fires

Most schools have flammable items in chemistry labs, storage cupboards, cleaning areas, and maintenance departments. Each requires targeted fire safety controls, pre-emptive alarm systems, and rigorous management to ensure any flammable item, including paper, is properly controlled.

Clearway ARC

Frequently asked questions

How Important Are Fire Alarms for Schools?

It is impossible to overstate the value of dependable, proactive fire alarms, with schools considered three times more likely to be categorised as high-risk.

As many as 75% of school fires are due to arson, 50% of school fire fatalities affect children under the age of 5, and 90,000 students every year in the UK experience learning disruptions due to fire.

Statistics show that only 2% of British schools that experienced fires in the five years to 2020 have sufficient sprinkler systems, and figures from the Local Government Association state that there are an average of 1,500 blazes in schools every year – most of which could have been prevented with the right fire alarms.
