Amthal Fire & Security, an Amthal Group Company, has strengthened security and fire safety at a specialist sign-language school while also coordinating the donation of essential furniture and supplies to support the launch of a new teaching block, complete with six classrooms and a dedicated sixth-form area.
Heathlands School, based in St Albans, is one of the largest specialist schools for deaf children in the UK, providing outstanding education since 1975. In addition to day and weekly boarding options, the school features specialised training facilities and a British Sign Language Training Centre.
The new two-storey building was delivered for £1million in eight months to allow the school to provide education from nursery through to sixth form for the first time. This expansion reflects Heathlands School's ongoing commitment to its vision of enabling all students to "become the best you can be."
To maintain a secure school environment, Amthal Fire & Security has installed dedicated access control, integrated CCTV and a fire alarm to the new extension. This comprehensive security and life safety solution ensures the safety of students, staff, and visitors, providing peace of mind to the school community.
Carol Bush, School Business Manager of Heathlands School: “We are truly thankful to Amthal for not only providing our site with professional security solutions but also helping us transform our new block into a comfortable and inspiring space for our students. Amthal’s continued support over our long-term partnership has been invaluable, and their latest contribution of furniture and supplies, combined with a tailored security setup, will make a remarkable difference to our school community for years to come."
Working closely with Heathlands School’s management, Amthal tailored the security setup to meet the specific needs of a specialist school for deaf children. By understanding the unique requirements, Amthal was able to deliver an unobtrusive, efficient solution to complement the learning environment while offering maximum protection.
Amthal was also able to donate essential furniture and supplies from a former office provider, helping to create a safe and enriching space for all students.
David Williamson, Sales Manager at Amthal Fire & Security added: “We are committed to working closely with our customers to truly understand the specific requirements of their unique environments, and this project with Heathlands School is a perfect example.
“By evolving our security and fire safety provisions alongside the school’s growth, we’ve been able to provide a solution that fully supports their needs. It’s an honour to not only contribute to the security of their new block but also to make a donation that supports their outstanding work in educating and empowering deaf students. Supporting Heathlands aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re proud to contribute to their vision.”
