Physical security systems for schools, academies and multi-academy trusts across Kent. Specialist in DfE guidance, KCSiE compliance and Martyn's Law. Free site survey, no obligation.
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 Whitstable, 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 Martyn's Law 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.

View Wireless →Kent County Council's school estate is among the largest in England. The county has more grammar schools than any other local authority area in England, and large selective schools frequently host public events, from open evenings to Kent Test days, that add to the numbers on site.
Medway is worth calling out specifically, and has its own page. Unlike the rest of the county, Medway is a unitary authority rather than part of Kent County Council, so its maintained schools across Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham sit under separate governance and procurement arrangements. We work with schools and academies on both sides of that line, and we understand how it affects funding routes, framework access and who signs off a security specification.
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.
