Nutgrove Methodist Aided Primary School in Merseyside recently took a significant step to enhance campus security and streamline staff access by installing a state-of-the-art access control system. The project included the installation of seven Paxton Net2-controlled access doors, designed to increase safety, reduce unauthorized entry, and ensure compliance with modern safeguarding requirements for educational environments.

Client: Nutgrove Methodist aided Primary School
Location: St Helens, Merseyside, United Kingdom

Project Duration: 3 Weeks

Scope of Work

The installation comprised:

  • Two main reception doors configured as an airlock entry system, ensuring controlled visitor access and better protection for staff and students.

  • Staff room door secured with access control to maintain privacy and prevent student access to sensitive areas.

  • Four internal classroom doors equipped to enhance child safety and allow teachers secure yet convenient entry.

All seven doors were fitted with:

  • Paxton Net2 access control units

  • Maglocks for secure electronic locking

  • Break glass units and push-to-exit buttons to comply with fire safety regulations and ensure fast egress during emergencies
