School Fencing
Our bespoke range of school fencing demonstrates to pupils, staff and visitors that the school has a clear commitment to safety, security and the general wellbeing of all who attend.
We have experience in installing a wide range of security fencing systems in nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools, universities, colleges and more. From perimeter fencing systems to school gates, our experienced team will find the right school fencing solution for you.
Perimeter fencing for schools not only keeps pupils and staff safe from would-be intruders, but it can also help avoid truancy issues. Having a well-designed perimeter fencing system will go a long way to visually display between private and public property.
School gates and other forms of access control are especially important in controlling the flow of people in and out of school. We will work closely with you to design bespoke school fencing and gates to ensure that the necessary school security criteria are met.

Acoustic Fencing
Noise pollution can be a problem for some schools, especially when people are living close to school grounds. Our acoustic fencing systems are the perfect solution to reduce noise pollution and prevent noise from playgrounds or sports fields from affecting the lives of those living nearby.
Sports Fencing
Several important factors need to be considered when installing a fencing system for sports fields, play areas or playground. These include participant and spectator safety, efficient protection of nearby buildings, the security of the area when nobody is around and the playability of the enclosure. All our sports fencing is ROSPA approved to minimise the risk of injury and accidental damage.

Key features of School Fencing
3 core elements need to be considered when designing, manufacturing and installing a school security fencing system.
Aesthetics
The first is the overall aesthetics of the fencing systems. School fencing needs to achieve a balance between providing a high-level of security whilst at the same time, not appearing unwelcome. Fencing for schools also needs to fit the overall look and feel of the school itself and the area in which it is situated.
Security
School fencing needs to provide an extraordinary level of security for pupils, staff and visitors. It must protect school grounds from unauthorised visitors, vandalism, arson, burglary and more. Within the school itself, security fencing can be used to control access to certain areas and to keep pupils from wandering into restricted areas.
Safety
Finally, school fencing must ensure the safety of those that attend or visit the school. A wide range of different fencing and gates will control the flow of people within a certain area and ensure their safety. On the other hand, perimeter fencing will keep pupils safe from unauthorised visitors or from leaving the school at unauthorised times.
School Gates
In addition to school fencing, we are also experienced in designing, manufacturing, supply and installation school gates. From the initial design process to the installation itself, over the years we have learned how to put together teams that have the skills, the equipment, and the passion, to get the job done. Contact a member of our team and discuss your school gate requirements today.
Swing Gates
Swings gates are most commonly used in schools to control the flow of traffic from one area to another. They can be used to control both pedestrian and vehicular traffic making them ideal for sports areas and car parks.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates are most commonly used in school car parks to control vehicular traffic. They are the ideal solution for any school looking to introduce access control to their car park. Sliding gates can be designed and manufactured to fit into an existing aesthetic setting.
Telescopic Bollards
Telescopic Bollards are ideal for restricting vehicle access and are fully retractable. The great thing about this type of bollard, apart from providing a high level of security, is that they tend to take up less space. For a school setting, Telescopic Bollards work best in car parks.
