School security in Surrey

Surrey has a large and varied school estate, with a mix of maintained schools, selective grammar schools, independent schools and some of the South East's largest multi-academy trusts. The county's proximity to London and its high population density in the north create a different security risk profile to its more rural southern areas.

Surrey's schools operate under Surrey County Council's procurement frameworks and benefit from several established routes to market for capital expenditure. We are familiar with Surrey's procurement landscape and can support both direct contract and framework-based purchases.

Surrey has some of the largest school sites in the South East. Several of Surrey's larger secondary schools and sixth form colleges have capacities well above 800. Education settings remain in the Standard Tier whatever their size, so the legal duties are the same, but at that scale the procedures only work with serious infrastructure behind them. Planning ahead of commencement, expected from 2027, needs to start now to allow for procurement, installation and documentation.

Local Knowledge

Surrey — what we know about your area

Surrey's selective school system means many secondary schools host large public events — open evenings, entrance examinations, community lettings — on a regular basis. These events bring Martyn's Law into scope even for smaller schools that might otherwise sit below the threshold during the normal school day. Our free Martyn's Law assessment tool helps you understand exactly how your capacity is calculated.

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.
