School upgrade

by Mark Rowe

Garston Manor School is a specialist school for autism, learning difficulties and speech and language, at Garston, outside Watford. Amthal Fire & Security has worked with the Hertfordshire school to create what the installer terms a scaleable solution to upgrade the fire and security systems and maintain them.

Amthal reports that it made a site visit, to see the fire and security systems in place, and make recommendations on how to build on, complement and maintain it. The St Albans-based fire and security installation company then created a works programme and saw to a maintenance programme to look after intruder, CCTV and fire systems on site.

Caroline Caisley, School Business Manager at Garston Manor says: “The school firmly believes in creating an environment whereby all students have the right to access learning at a level and setting appropriate to their needs that will enable them to enjoy and achieve. To ensure this can occur, we must establish an atmosphere of trust, security and mutual respect.

“Security in this respect is an absolute priority for the school, right from the perimeter and the site boundaries through to all internal areas. Amthal understood this and developed a works programme to maintain all our fire and security systems. We have been very impressed with their sensitivity to the school’s aims and vision and care taken in looking after our site.”

And David Williamson, Account Manager at Amthal says: “By its very nature, Garston Manor is a specialist school with very focussed aims and a vision to encourage every child who attends to enjoy their learning experience, celebrate their individuality and make the best possible progress and attainment. Our role, following the site survey, is to support the site management team and continue to look after the fire and security systems, eliminating any concerns and planning works necessary around learning timetables. This way, staff can commit to their integral role in each child’s life, and students can learn in a safe and secure school environment, all without affecting every day operations or the aesthetics of this educational facility.”
