Temple Moor High School, part of the Red Kite Learning Trust, is a thriving secondary school in East Leeds with a strong focus on operational excellence and student safety. Business & Operations Manager Dawn Simpson and Premises Manager Mark Chester work closely to manage the site’s day-to-day operations, from facilities and health & safety to finance, HR, and catering.
Having heard about Audiebant’s solutions from a neighbouring school, the team invited us in to explore how we could enhance their on-site communications and simplify emergency procedures.
The Challenge
Like many large educational campuses, Temple Moor faced challenges distinguishing between different types of alerts, particularly between lockdown and evacuation procedures.
“The main issue was distinguishing between evacuation and lockdown. We realised we needed a system in place that could clearly define the two — for both staff and students.”
– Mark Chester, Premises Manager
The existing system lacked flexibility and didn’t support targeted or mobile-based messaging, limiting the school’s ability to react quickly and safely in various scenarios.
The Solution
Audiebant worked closely with the Temple Moor team to design a tailored audio solution using our plug-and-play hardware, paired with the Audiebant app, our mobile-first platform for sending instant announcements.
“I like the fact that we’ve got the app. All the senior leaders and premises team have it on their phones, so they can trigger alerts from anywhere in the building.”
– Dawn Simpson, Business and Operations Manager
This combination of fixed infrastructure and mobile control gives Temple Moor a smart, scalable system that’s easy to use and flexible in any situation, whether it’s a planned drill or a real-time incident.
The Outcome
With clear audio messages and the ability to distinguish alert types instantly, staff and students now have greater clarity and confidence during drills and emergency situations.
The ability to initiate alerts remotely has also significantly improved the school’s incident response time.
“It gives us that peace of mind. It’s simple to use and gives everyone confidence.”
– Mark Chester, Premises Manager
Beyond emergencies, the system has also proven to be a valuable tool in day-to-day school operations, streamlining announcements and general communication across the site.
Why It Works
Audiebant’s education-focused solutions are built to adapt to the needs of large, multi-building schools. From safeguarding to site control, they help teams work smarter and react faster, all through intuitive technology that doesn’t require complex training.
