Oundle School Case Study

Based in Peterborough, Northamptonshire Oundle School is one of the largest independent schools in the country.

Following a fire that seriously damaged the school's Stahl Theatre, a major refurbishment project was embarked on, which included the provision of carbon monoxide fire detectors.  The new detectors give much earlier warning of an incipient fire than conventional smoke detectors and are less prone to false alarms. 

During a trial period, false alarms fell from average of 20 to zero, while with its greater sensitivity the system provided a much higher standard of security.
