How to Protect Your School Against Vandalism During the Holidays

10369312 • Feb 28, 2024

The anticipation of an upcoming school holiday can be exciting for pupils and staff members alike, but an unattended school also presents an increased risk of vandalism. To safeguard your educational institution, establishing thorough security measures is essential. If you’re concerned that your current line of defence isn’t enough to deter criminals, in this blog we’ll take a look at the most effective strategies to keep your school safe during the holidays. 


Invest in Robust Industrial Roller Shutters

One of the most effective ways to fortify your school against vandalism is by installing security shutters. Because many acts of vandalism and other criminal activity are opportunistic, these heavy-duty doors act as a formidable barrier which could discourage potential vandals. 


Check for Weak Spots

The first step to take is to conduct a thorough inspection of your school's premises to identify any vulnerable entry points. Windows, doors and other access areas should be tested for potential weaknesses. Once identified, make these areas a priority for the installation of extra security measures. By reinforcing these points with security shutters or other deterrents, you significantly reduce the risk of unauthorised access and vandalism.


Implement a Comprehensive Security Plan

Collaborate with specialists to create a comprehensive security plan tailored to your school's unique needs. Thoroughbred Industrial Doors, with its expertise in industrial doors and shutters, can assist you in developing a bespoke strategy that addresses potential vulnerabilities and ensures maximum protection during the school holidays.


Make Use of Remote Monitoring Systems

Another option is to incorporate advanced security technology into your school's protection plan. Remote monitoring systems allow you to keep a watchful eye on your premises even when you're miles away. This type of system, combined with other measures like security shutters, will keep you in the loop about any unusual or suspicious activity. 


Encourage Community Involvement

You could even get the local community to play an active role in safeguarding the school. Establish partnerships with neighbourhood watch programs or local law enforcement. It’s highly likely that the families of school attendees live closeby, so protecting the school from vandalism and criminal activity is very much in their best interest, and many will be happy to help.

Whether you need to store your vehicle out of harm’s way, or you require additional room for your belongings, a garage can meet all of your needs in a practical and secure manner. Often it is the garage door that allows you to secure your garage space, where these can be manually operated using a handle mechanism, or they can operate automatically, using an electrically powered system.

Some electronic doors can be set to open on a timer, or they can be controlled via a smartphone app to make the process even easier. Attractive Designs Electronic garage doors are some of the sleekest on the market, because they are designed with modern technology at their core. As such, you will be able to choose from a range of attractive designs for your property, many of which will save you space in your garage as they won’t require a weighty manual mechanism in order to open and close.
