These measures must start at the perimeter, therefore school security fencing is imperative. Have a read of this blog, discussing the importance of school security fencing and the options that are available.
There are many positive reasons to install fencing for schools.
School fencing can help to clearly define the boundary of the school premises, distinguishing it from surrounding areas. This can help prevent any misunderstandings about where the school property ends and private or public property begins, reducing the chance of disputes.
School security fencing can act as a physical barrier against intruders, deterring unauthorised individuals from gaining access to school grounds. Preventing any potential threats, such as; trespassing, vandalism, and even more serious security breaches.
Fencing and gates help to control access to the school grounds by providing designated entry and exit points. This can help with pedestrian footfall at school start and end times, making it easier for parents and guardians and helping to prevent any potential accidents.
The safety of the students is essential in all educational settings. Creating a safe and secure environment where children can focus on learning without any distractions.
By having fencing for schools, and access points, it reduces the risk of strangers wandering onto campus, as well as enabling the school to monitor who enters and leaves the premises, enhancing the overall security and safety of the students, staff and visitors. Providing peace of mind to students and their parents.
Schools can often be targets for vandalism and property damage, impacting the learning environment in a negative way. Security fencing can act as a deterrent to vandals by establishing a clear boundary and making entering the premises more difficult.
By investing in robust fencing solutions, schools can reduce the financial costs associated with vandalism and make better use of these resources for the school.
Fencing can maintain privacy within the school grounds, preventing unauthorised individuals from observing or accessing activities taking place on campus. It is important that students and staff feel protected during the school day, especially those younger students who may be more vulnerable to potential dangers outside of the school premises.
A well-designed school fencing system can complement the aesthetic of the campus architecture, contributing to a welcoming and inviting environment for students, staff and visitors.
There are a number of fencing solutions that are suitable for nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. Taking into consideration the level of security required and the aesthetics that the school would prefer, some ideal products can be found below;
Mesh fencing offers a good level of security, without compromising on aesthetics and visibility, making it a very popular choice for school fencing.
With a range of mesh types, from; v-mesh, twin mesh and rebound mesh, it can be used for multiple purposes around the school. For example, boundary definition around the perimeter, or around sports areas.
It is a very cost-effective, durable fencing system that is available in a range of colours, and with gates to match to provide the ideal access points.
As a more traditional fencing and gate solution, palisade can be seen as a more intimidating fencing system, due to its design and appearance.
Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, palisade fencing is extremely robust and sturdy, which would make it ideal for school fencing perimeters.
With the option to choose your pale type, our triple pointed pales can help to deter intruders and trespassers, helping to protect the school premises, students and staff.

At First Fence, we have both standard and our environmentally friendly range, EnviroRail® available to purchase. With one range being ideal for the school setting, Play Sec Railings.
Play Sec Railings have a child-safe design, making all the gaps less than 89mm, preventing children from fitting their body parts through the openings. This prevents the children from becoming stuck or injured, and with their bow top design there are no sharp points or edges.
Timber acoustic fencing is designed for areas where there is a lot of noise, and is installed around areas to help absorb or reflect this noise for surrounding areas.
This could be something that is installed around the school field, to ensure that neighbouring properties do not hear the sound from the school on a regular basis.
Manufactured from high-quality Tanalised pressure-treated wood, they provide a natural, rustic effect to the environment.
Overall, fences play an important role in creating a secure and controlled environment for schools, contributing to the overall safety, well-being, and success of students, staff, and visitors.
The safety of our children is always a top priority, no matter where or when. At a school, in particular, children's safety is of paramount importance. Along with teachers, school staff and the school itself, there is a lot to be protected.
At Alexandra Security, we take their safety very seriously. With over 35 years of experience, we know the importance of perimeter security and have worked with many schools all over the UK. So we have put together this guide on why school security fencing is important. We've also outlined the best school fence options, so you can consider what is best for yours.
Secure school fencing is important because it helps to keep our children, teachers and schools safe. They are also useful because, as we know, children and teenagers can become difficult to contain. So a security fence helps to keep unwanted intruders outside and the students inside.
A solid perimeter fence can also keep prying eyes from seeing the school grounds, while a palisade fence can allow the children to see out into the world and parents to see in. In other words, different fences can be used for different desired outcomes.
There are many types of fences, and each offers something different. When considering the right fence for your school, you will have to take into account what lies beyond the fence, whether you want the children to look out and others to look in, whether privacy would be better served with solid fencing, reduction in noise pollution, etc.
In our modern society, with busy streets and many strangers on them, some schools prefer to have a solid fence. However, this can make a school look more like a prison than a happy place of learning. So it is also important to consider aesthetics. A school that looks like a prison is a sad place for children to spend their days and won't inspire anyone.
Alexandra Security has been an innovator in security systems and perimeter safety since , so we know what works well. Many of the schools where we have erected a fence have decided to go with our mesh fencing option. These sturdy steel fences can be produced in a number of bright and exciting colours, which brings life into what might otherwise be a rather cold aspect of your school. They are also difficult to scale, allow for partial visibility, and are cost-effective.
Along with a palisade fence, we recommend that your school invest in a security gate. This allows your staff to decide who enters the premises and keeps the school safe after hours.
According to the BS EN Play and Equipment Standards, school fencing and gates have to be a minimum of 1 m high. However, 1 m is simply the legal minimum requirement, and we recommend that your school fence is at least 1.8 m high. This ensures that it cannot simply be vaulted over.
When deciding on a fence and the contractors you'll use to install it, keep in mind that fencing and access systems have to pass a RoSPA inspection. Fortunately, Alexandra Security is well-known in the industry for our dedication to quality, so you can trust that our work will pass with flying colours.
