Current MI5 threat level: SUBSTANTIAL
Professional SIA-licensed guards for schools, colleges, and universities across the UK. Give parents and staff true peace of mind.
There’s a certain atmosphere you can feel on an education site long before the first bell rings. Staff are preparing classrooms. Students arriving in small groups, half-awake but full of energy. Parents are watching anxiously from the gates for that final wave.
Education sites are full of life — but also full of responsibility. Because in a school, college, or university, the smallest lapse in security can become a significant problem. A stranger stepping through an unsecured entrance.
A confrontation between students that escalates too quickly. A locked door that should have been checked. A vulnerable student unnoticed in a moment of distress.
That’s why professional education site security matters.
At 2015 Security Services Ltd, our SIA-licensed education security officers provide a calm, reassuring presence — protecting students, staff, visitors, facilities and the wider school community.
We create safe spaces where young people can learn, thrive and feel protected.
Our officers are trained specifically for the sensitive, fast-moving environment of British education sites.

All officers undergo DBS checks where required and receive safeguarding awareness training suitable for educational environments.
Schools and colleges face a unique mix of risks that require specialist handling:
Conflicts, bullying, missing pupils, and vulnerable students.
Ensuring only approved visitors can enter.
Especially critical after hours or during holidays.
Schools are legally required to protect students.
Hundreds — sometimes thousands — of people moving at once.
Lockdowns, evacuations, and medical situations.
Most school gates are close to public paths, roads, and parks.
Teachers often face high-pressure situations and need trained support.
A professional security team adds stability, structure, and confidence — turning a busy education site into a safe, controlled learning environment.
Your students deserve safety. Your staff deserve support. Your site deserves complete protection.
