Drayton Park Primary School in Highbury, London is a happy vibrant and creative school that encourages positive attitudes to learning and where staff, pupils and the wider community come together to provide the highest standards of education. This primary school educates pupils from the age of 7- 11 and for this reason security and safety is essential.
Drayton Park School Situation:
ADSF UK LTD was recently contacted by the school’s directors to replace their existing doors which have been worn beyond repair from the continuous daily scrapes and bangs from hundreds of pupils on a daily basis. The school were looking to update the old entrance doors at the school as part of a planned renovation. They wanted the staff and pupils to have pride in their place of learning and teaching and also wanted to bring more natural light into the school.
The school wanted to ensure the students were kept as safe as possible and wanted a system of swing doors, and screens that would take the punishment of being roughly used by hundreds of young children every school day.
Drayton Park School had strict protocols for having contractors working on school premises in term-time and wanted to ensure that these were adhered to at all times. In line with Drayton Park School’s requirements, ADSF UK LTD supplied and installed aluminium manual swing entrance screens and doors.
The entrance screens were designed to look modern and were made to be highly durable to cater for the pedestrian traffic in and out of the schools swing doors each day. By using glass in the frames around the manual doors the school was able to bring in much more available light. The glass was toughened to ensure that accidents were prevented and the little children were kept safe at all times.
The certified and trained door engineers followed school safeguarding protocols at all time and managed to complete the new manual door installation with the minimum of fuss.
Drayton Park School Outcome:
By using clear glass in the entrance way it enabled the school to be a much brighter place. This also helped the school to reduce its lighting bills as the light did not have to be turned on in the reception area until much later in the morning.
The tough durable materials used means that there is a greatly reduced chance of damage to the doors and entrance screens as they are designed for heavy scholastic use. The new swing doors will enable the school to reduce its heating bill as the sun will still be able to get into the building and help to kept it bright and warm.
