Special School Safeguarding

IMG 5014

Coomber Associates were appointed to obtain funding via the Condition Improvement Funding to replace perimeter and internal fencing at the Weymouth based special school. 

The project was critical for the school due to the nature of the pupils and safeguarding issues they were experiencing. Each classroom base had their own internal ‘yard’ space which prior to the project had no real security measures. 

Through a careful design process with key stakeholders, the perimeter fencing was specified to be in line with ESFA design guidance with an additional timber insert for anti-climb measures whilst raising the height of the internal yard fencing to better protect pupils. All internal and external gates were fitted with access control measures allowing staff to better serve the pupils. To the front entrance, automated gates were installed to the in / out driveway to better protect the front site boundaries when pupils were making their way to transport provisions.
