Bringing IT and Education Together

Wade Deacon High School is the largest school in the Wade Deacon Trust, an academy trust of eight schools across the Liverpool City region committed to nurturing pupils and helping them achieve academic success. With 1500+ pupils on roll, Wade Deacon High has awards across many aspects of its work including being rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023. Video surveillance is a key resource for the senior management team, supporting their busy teaching staff in maintaining high standards of care for students. But with their old IP system reaching the end of its life, a better solution was needed.

St Peter and St Paul Catholic High School in Widnes, Cheshire, is a coeducational secondary school offering a comprehensive education for children aged 11 to 16. Known for its inclusive community and commitment to excellence, the school also provides support for children with special educational needs and disabilities, helping them to access the curriculum and enjoy school life.

Fazakerley High School, a co-educational secondary school in Liverpool, moved into new buildings in 2003 and embarked on a successful transformation programme to raise standards. The school, which is in a challenging catchment area, established a new reputation as a nurturing, well run learning environment. But fifteen years later senior staff found themselves struggling with an outdated video surveillance system that was no longer fit for purpose.
