Jackson Fire & Security School

Specialist Fire Safety Solutions for Schools in Newcastle

Schools are busy, fast-moving places. With hundreds of pupils, staff, and visitors flowing through corridors, classrooms, and shared spaces every day, it only takes one missed hazard for things to go badly wrong.

And with many buildings still using outdated systems, the risk is higher than you might think. Whether you’re running a nursery, primary, secondary, or academy trust, your fire safety setup needs to be fast, reliable, and fully compliant.

Is Your School’s Fire Safety Where It Needs to Be?

In a fire, seconds matter, and children don’t always react the way adults do. They often panic, hesitate, or become confused. Younger pupils or those with additional needs may freeze, wander, or struggle to follow instructions.

Now imagine that happening in a building with multiple floors, long corridors, or separate blocks. If the right fire protection isn’t already in place, things can escalate quickly.

Too often, the only time a school’s fire safety setup is properly tested is during a drill. And even then, it’s controlled, calm and predictable. But real emergencies aren’t like that.

The truth is, it’s not a matter of if something goes wrong. It’s when.

Government data shows that 1 in every 20 school fires is classed as serious, causing major damage or putting lives at risk. Arson is still a common cause, but fires also start from faulty wiring, kitchens, or science labs that weren’t properly managed.

And it’s not just about the fire. Ofsted and local authorities are tightening up on health and safety checks.If your systems aren’t up to standard, it can lead to formal warnings, blocked access to parts of your site, or worse, a serious hit to your school’s reputation.

Don’t wait for a fire—or a failed inspection—to expose the risks.

Our Specialist Fire Safety Services for Schools

We’ve supported schools across Newcastle and the North East for years, everything from nurseries to sixth forms. We know the reality: tight budgets, older buildings, and the need to keep disruption of learning to a minimum. That’s why every service we offer is designed to be practical, reliable, and built around how schools actually operate. We’re here to protect your staff and students, and to make sure your fire safety never falls behind.

Fire Extinguisher Solutions

We provide schools with the right extinguishers for classrooms, kitchens, IT suites, and science labs. They’re installed in accessible locations, clearly marked, and serviced annually to meet British Standards. Need staff training on how to use them? We can deliver that too.

Fire Alarm Systems

We install fast, reliable fire alarm systems that give you full coverage across your site. They’ll pinpoint exactly where an issue has been triggered, reduce false alarms, and link directly to admin areas so you’re not wasting time. We can also connect them to access control systems for faster, coordinated responses. Monitoring options are available if you want round-the-clock protection.

Emergency Lighting

If a fire causes a power outage, emergency lighting helps pupils and staff evacuate safely, especially in stairwells, corridors, and halls. We install and maintain all lighting to British Standards, complete with regular testing and full documentation.

Fire Door Inspections

Fire doors are essential in schools to stop the spread of fire and protect escape routes. We conduct thorough inspections of existing fire doors to ensure they close automatically and function properly. We also inspect electromagnetic door holders where required, especially in SEND classrooms and high-traffic areas. We provide ongoing door inspections and repairs to ensure full compliance with safety regulations.

Integrated Security & Fire Systems

We know that schools often need a joined-up approach. We offer access control to secure areas, CCTV for high-visibility zones, and full integration with your fire alarm system, helping you manage the site more easily and document everything for audits or inspections.

Full Compliance Management

We manage your servicing, testing, and inspections so nothing falls behind. You’ll have one point of contact, consistent paperwork, and a clear plan to show Ofsted, local authorities, or insurers that you’re doing everything by the book.

 

Lockdown Systems

Our Lockdown Systems are designed to give you immediate control in emergency situations, ensuring the safety of everyone on-site. Don’t wait for a critical incident to realise the gaps in your security.
