“The system is highly intuitive, alerts can be triggered within minutes, and multiple staff can confidently use it. It’s made a real difference during drills and actual incidents.” David Martin, Headteacher
With over 1,000 staff and students on site, Katherine Warington School needed a reliable lockdown communication system to support both everyday messaging and response during critical incidents.
Previous systems caused confusion, with pupils and staff struggling to distinguish between fire drills and lockdown alerts, creating unnecessary uncertainty during emergencies.
Audiebant delivered a full integrated communication platform tailored to the school’s needs. Staff can trigger alerts instantly across the entire site, with clear, differentiated messaging for emergencies like lockdowns and fire drills. Zoned communication ensures messages reach the right audience at the right time, while an intuitive interface makes the system accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
“The system is highly intuitive, alerts can be triggered within minutes, and multiple staff can confidently use it. It’s made a real difference during drills and actual incidents.”
The platform also supports daily operations, replacing traditional bell-based alerts. Messages are now used to welcome students, reinforce school values, support assemblies and events, and share staff appreciation, making communication feel like a natural part of the school life.
“Feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive. The messages feel integrated into the school environment, and staff find it incredibly easy to use.”
Installation was seamless, with minimal disruption to the school day, and ongoing support has been rated 10/10. Every query is handled promptly, ensuring peace of mind that messages will be delivered instantly whenever needed.
“We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Audiebant to other schools. The teams are supportive, the system works flawlessly, and it has enhanced both safety and everyday communication.”
Since implementing Audiebant, Katherine Warington School has gained confidence in its emergency procedures, improved day to day messaging, and strengthened overall operational efficiency. This flexible, multi-purpose lockdown system for schools demonstrates how modern technology can enhance both safety and school life across large, complex sites.
