School security<\/a> is vital for the safety of staff and students on any site. There are many different aspects to consider to keep your educational setting secure from those entering your premises. Yet you can\u2019t be overzealous. Schools still have to seem welcoming to pupils, staff and authorised guests.<\/p>\n

However, there has been a rise in the risks to schools in recent years that have put school security<\/a> at the heart of policy. Terror threats, theft, and adults accessing grounds without authorisation are just some of the worries school leaders need<\/a> to deal with.<\/p>\n

Another common problem is that children can escape from school<\/a> too easily. Children as young as four and five have been known to climb school fences<\/a> and escape through gates.<\/p>\n

Leaders are worried<\/h2>\n

A survey released in January 2019 found that parents and staff are unsatisfied with current school security<\/a> measures. Leaders are also concerned that they don\u2019t know enough about school security<\/a> to secure school grounds satisfactory policies and decisions.<\/p>\n

Yet, there are simple ways to help secure school premises<\/a> from the various threats that are present.<\/p>\n

Mesh fencing<\/h2>\n

One of the simplest ways to help protect your school setting is to install mesh fencing<\/a> around your school. Mesh fencing<\/a> is strong, flexible, cost-effective and doesn\u2019t look too imposing. Mesh solutions<\/a> are perfect for schools and act as the first barrier to deter potential criminals.<\/p>\n

However, some of the most secure schools<\/a> actually have two layers of fencing. One to protect the school perimeter<\/a> and then another to segregate classrooms and playing areas from other areas of the school like the route to the reception.<\/p>\n

Another benefit of school mesh fencing<\/a> is that children find it challenging to climb due to the design, and there are no gaps for children to squeeze through. Therefore, a good mesh fence<\/a> can be the perfect way to keep children inside the school grounds.<\/p>\n

Adding to mesh fencing<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve installed a perimeter of mesh fencing<\/a> on your school\u2019s premises, you can start building other security aspects into your school. This can include CCTV<\/a>, secure doors and other measures. However, these should supplement a secure perimeter<\/a> rather than replace them.<\/p>\n

With these tips in place, you should start to feel that your school is more secure and children can learn and play safely<\/a> at your school.<\/p>\n
