At Keelham Primary School, safeguarding is a top priority. With the right technology in place, Keelham has managed to create an environment where pupils, staff, and visitors feel secure, knowing that safety measures are constantly working in the background.

Managing Access with InVentry and Paxton

A secure school starts at the front door. With InVentry’s digital sign-in system, staff, visitors, and contractors are required to log their arrival and departure, ensuring a real-time record of everyone on-site. Integrated with Paxton door entry, this system allows the school to control who can access certain areas, preventing unauthorised entry and keeping sensitive spaces protected.

For visitors, the process is simple and effective. On arrival, they sign in using a touchscreen system, receive a printed ID badge, and are granted access only to the areas they need. Staff benefit from fast, contactless sign-in, while contractors can provide pre-approved documentation, such as DBS checks, before being allowed on-site.

This system doesn’t just enhance security, it also streamlines emergency procedures. In the event of a fire drill or evacuation, Keelham has instant access to an accurate register, ensuring every individual is accounted for.

Keeping Pupils Safe with LOCAS

Keelham has also implemented our LOCAS system, a safeguarding tool designed for effective invacuation procedures.

LOCAS allows staff to trigger a lockdown within seconds, instantly alerting every classroom and workspace. Automatic notifications guide staff and pupils to safety, ensuring that clear, consistent instructions are delivered without causing panic. This provides peace of mind for teachers, parents, and school leaders, knowing that if a critical situation arises, Keelham is prepared to act swiftly and effectively.

Enhancing Security with CCTV Monitoring

As an extra layer of protection, CCTV cameras are positioned throughout key areas of the school site, offering 24/7 monitoring. This system not only deters potential security risks but also provides a valuable tool for reviewing incidents when needed.

Altogether, we've provided Keelham the tools and know how needed to secure their school and protect it's community. No matter the situation.
