School security in Kent

Kent has more than 600 state schools, academies and free schools, including some of the largest multi-academy trusts in the South East. The county covers a wide geographic range from the Medway towns and Maidstone through to Thanet, Canterbury and the Romney Marsh — a spread that creates real variation in the security challenges schools face.

Fyrfly Systems is based in Faversham, Kent. That gives us genuine local knowledge and fast response times across the whole county — from a small primary in a rural village to a large secondary academy in a Medway town. Every survey is carried out by our own engineers, not a call-centre appointment.

Martyn's Law is the most pressing compliance issue for Kent schools right now. Most secondary schools and larger primaries in Kent will fall within scope of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 when its requirements commence, expected from 2027. We have already worked with schools across Kent to assess their compliance position and identify the procedures and supporting measures that make them workable. Our free Martyn's Law assessment tool gives you an instant picture of where your school stands.

Local Knowledge

Kent — what we know about your area

Kent County Council's school estate is among the largest in England. The county has a particularly high concentration of grammar schools — more than anywhere else in the UK — which frequently host public events that bring them into Martyn's Law scope. The Medway towns and Swale districts have seen elevated levels of school-related security incidents in recent years, making proactive security investment a genuine priority for many headteachers and trust boards.

Whatever the specific challenges of your site and area, the starting point is the same: a free survey, a written assessment, and an honest conversation about what your school needs and what it will cost. We do not win work by telling schools they need more than they do.
