Physical security systems for schools and academies across East and West Sussex. Specialist in DfE guidance, KCSiE compliance and Martyn's Law. Free site survey available.
East Sussex and West Sussex together cover a wide range of school environments, from large secondary schools in Brighton and Hove to small village primaries on the South Downs and coastal schools in towns like Eastbourne, Hastings and Worthing. Each type of setting brings distinct security requirements.
Brighton and Hove's schools face urban security challenges similar to those in the capital. Schools in more rural parts of the county often have sprawling sites with multiple buildings, extensive perimeters, and limited existing infrastructure — making wireless security solutions particularly relevant.
Several Sussex schools have already begun Martyn's Law compliance programmes. Schools close to major tourist areas and town centres — particularly in Brighton, Eastbourne and Chichester — are frequently used for community events and lettings that bring them into Martyn's Law scope even outside normal school hours.

View Monitoring →Dedicated security wireless networks for sites where cabling is impractical. Listed buildings, multi-building campuses, temporary sites. No cable routes required.
View Wireless →Sussex has a high proportion of schools in areas covered by the South Downs National Park, where planning restrictions on external works are more stringent than elsewhere. Our wireless-first approach to security installations means we can typically deliver full CCTV and access control coverage without the planning applications that permanent external fixings might require.
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.
