A system that we have had installed for a number of years at a school in Huddersfield has been mentioned in an online BBC article.

Teaching Union NASUWT has called for schools to implement Lockdown plans to safeguard pupils and staff in the event of a situation arising.

Our customer Reinwood Junior School is featured as it carries out a Lockdown drill twice a year and use our unique Lockodown system to do this. From the push of a button a pre-recorded vocal message (to stop confusion) is broadcast across the school. Pupils then get under desks, teachers lock doors, lights are turned off and window shutters are pulled down.

Ian Darlington, Year Six teacher at the school, said it was better to practise so that it “almost becomes second nature” to the pupils.

“Initially it might appear that we are raising concerns, raising children’s fears, but in actual fact they’re quite calm doing it now,” he said.

“They understand the importance of doing it and it doesn’t worry them.”

Schools are constantly under pressure from Ofsted and have a duty to parents to increase efficiency and improved standards.

With some schools having in excess of 1000 students and more than 100 teachers on site, just getting staff and student to the right place at the right time can be a major logistical problem.

A recent Bodet study has surmised; ”A two minute delay in starting a class can result in a loss of 1 hour teaching time for each student every week based on 6 classes per day. Over a 40 week year, this amounts to more than a full week of learning time that can potentially be gained”.

Our range of NTP/DHF/Wireless clocks can become part of and synchronise to our class change and school lockdown systems, and makes sure that every clock in school shows the correct time throughout site.
