Observra provides silent, continuous weapon detection across your school site, alerting the head, business manager and safeguarding lead the moment a threat is identified, without alarming pupils or interrupting lessons. Aligned with the DfE's guidance on school security and the Prevent duty.
Recorded knife-related offences in England and Wales sit above 50,000 a year, and a significant share involve people under the age of 18.
Most serious school security incidents involve an external threat entering through a gate, reception or perimeter, exactly the scenario Observra is designed to catch first.
Observra operates silently in the background. Pupils never see it. Alerts go to safeguarding leads and site staff only, the classroom stays undisturbed.
Weapon detection at school gates, reception and delivery entrances, alerting the safeguarding lead before a threat reaches pupils or staff.
Unknown adults entering the school grounds during the day trigger an immediate alert with camera location, so site staff can intercept before any incident occurs.
Behaviour pattern detection identifies physical altercations and aggressive confrontations in corridors and playgrounds, alerting pastoral staff to intervene early.
24/7 monitoring of school grounds catches vandalism, theft from sports and IT stores and trespass outside school hours, including weekends and holidays.
Understand movement patterns across the site, useful for spotting congestion, identifying unsafe gathering points and planning supervision at transition times.
Alerts go to designated staff phones and the school office only. Never announced over the PA or visible to pupils during normal school hours.
