Affordable, Compliant Security For Schools
We understand education budgets are under pressure. That’s why we offer flexible packages, giving you reliable protection without ever compromising on quality. Here’s an overview of how we deliver budget-conscious protection:
- Key Holding & Alarm Response – We hold onto a copy of your school’s keys (including for external gates) securely, deploying an officer rapidly as soon as an alarm is detected. We’re on site in just 30 minutes on average.
- Lock & Unlock – We dispatch an SIA-licensed security professional to lock down your site every evening and unlock it every morning. This is ideal for schools on a set schedule.
AI-Enhanced School CCTV Systems
Monitoring equipment is essential in protecting your school from trespassers, criminals and unruly students. At ProFM, we go above the usual industry standard, delivering bespoke packages for CCTV installation and surveillance that incorporate the latest in AI threat detection and HD footage available night and day.
That all comes alongside complete incident monitoring and rapid response from our 24/7/365 National Operations Centre.
Protect Staff & Students With Key Fobs, ID Badges & More
Keeping staff areas and students separate is an essential part of a good education environment. With our extensive suite of access control options, we’re able to provide everything from ID badges and keyfobs (ideal for reception areas and non-student rooms) to facial recognition and biometric scanning (best used for sensitive information or your school server room).
Prevent Intruders After School Hours
While your school is a hive of activity during the day, it can be left exposed outside of those hours. Our intruder alarms offer the ideal countermeasure to that vulnerability, with both traditional infrared options and more advanced visually-verified technologies available. That’s all supplemented by our round-the-clock alarm response solutions, delivered by trained and SIA-licensed security professionals.
Licensed & DBS-Checked School Event Security
School event calendars are often busy, with everything from end-of-year proms to sports days. Each of those demands the right level of protection, and with our enhanced DBS-checked security guards and event security solutions, we deliver that time and time again.
Those officers act as your ideal line of defence, offering a range of services that include ticket and bag checking, routine patrols of the premises, conflict de-escalation and management, and guest guidance and support.

Frequently Asked Questions On School Security
Still got a Question?Yes. All the security guards we provide will have passed a full, enhanced DBS check before we deploy them to your school or educational facility.
We can. We know schools are often empty during the summer break, and we’re able to seamlessly adapt to deliver more robust security over that time, including permanent security guards, routine patrols, and regular check-ins by trained security professionals.
All of our security cameras are monitored by our central National Operations Centre, which is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by trained and licensed security professionals. They’ll receive an immediate alert at the first sign of danger and be able to respond appropriately.
You can also choose to have your cameras monitored at your school or educational facility, if you have the necessary facilities to do that.
Our engineers will use your site plans (or blueprints) to plot out strategic points to maximise your coverage and avoid any possible blind spots. We’ll also plan for any necessary cabling, trunking, and connectivity to our National Operations Centre or on-site monitoring.
All of these plans will be shared with you, and further informed by your knowledge of the school (student meeting points or high-traffic corridors, for example).
