School fencing
Deciding on the best option for a school is rarely straightforward. Getting both the security and the appearance right matters, and that is where we can help.
We work extensively in the education sector, providing school fencing across the country. The safety of your staff and pupils is the priority: all of our onsite operatives, contracts managers and directors who carry out site visits are DBS checked, or can be, to the appropriate level.
We install security fencing, gates and access control for general purpose, anti-intruder and high security applications, covering every part of the school environment.
Secure and attractive
Every school fencing system should do three things:
- Project a positive image of the school
- Provide a safe, secure learning environment with minimal visual impact on the surroundings or on neighbours
- Be fit for purpose and fully compliant with current legislation
We can offer advice to help with Ofsted safeguarding visits and will support you through a school security review, with a site appraisal and a no obligation quotation.
The three risk categories
Specifications for schools are usually written against three categories of risk. The category sets the minimum height and the systems that are appropriate.
Category 1
General purpose systems up to 2.4m high.
- Chainlink fencing
- Welded mesh rolls
- Vertical bar and bow top railings
- Roll top panels
Category 2
Anti-intruder systems up to 2.4m high, offering a degree of resistance to climbing and breaching.
- Chainlink fencing
- Welded mesh rolls
- Profiled panels 200x50
- Railings
- Unequal aperture profiled panels
Category 3
High security systems at least 3 metres high, to deter and delay a resourceful attacker.
- 358 profiled and flat panels
