Case Study: Newton-le-Willows Primary School – Paxton Net2 Access Control Installation

Client

Newton-le-Willows Primary School, a busy and vibrant school in Merseyside, catering to over 300 pupils.

The Challenge

The school required a modern access control system to:

  • Replace outdated manual key locks

  • Improve safeguarding procedures

  • Control staff and visitor access across multiple entry points

  • Log access for audit and emergency response

Our Solution

We installed a Paxton Net2 access control system across 5 key entry points, including the main entrance, staff room, and internal corridor doors. Each door was fitted with high-strength maglocks to provide secure locking while enabling smooth emergency egress.

Key Components Installed:

  • Paxton Net2 Plus Controllers (networked)

  • Proximity card readers at each door

  • High-grade magnetic locks (maglocks) with emergency break glass units

  • Central PC with Net2 software for access management

  • Setup of tiered access levels for staff, admin, and cleaners

Results

The school now enjoys:

  • Seamless access control via staff ID cards

  • Real-time logs and entry reports

  • Remote door control from the school office

  • Improved compliance with school safeguarding policies

  • A safer, more secure environment for students and staff
