Two way radio solutions for

Schools, Colleges and Universities

In today’s education environment, safety, communication, and efficiency are more important than ever.

From everyday coordination to emergency response, two-way radios offer instant, reliable communication for staff across school grounds, college campuses, and university estates. At OS Comms, we help education providers across the UK stay connected and in control - no matter the size or layout of your site.

Improve security across your school or campus

Keeping students and staff safe is every education provider’s top priority. Whether it’s a routine incident or a critical situation, clear, immediate communication can make all the difference.

Our two-way radio systems enable:

Instant alerts for safeguarding or medical issues
Quick coordination between reception/school office, site teams and senior leaders
Reliable coverage across large or multi-site campuses

We offer radios with emergency buttons, man-down features, and location tracking, helping your team respond quickly and confidently when it matters most.

Streamline Day-to-Day Operations

From site managers to admin teams, caretakers to heads of year - two-way radios help everyone stay connected throughout the day. Staff can easily:

Coordinate maintenance or cleaning requests
Manage visitor arrivals and deliveries
Support exam logistics and event planning
Supervise busy lunchtimes or break periods

It’s a simple, effective way to reduce delays and keep things running smoothly.

Enhance Safeguarding and Pastoral Care

When it comes to student wellbeing, rapid response and discretion are essential. Two-way radios allow designated staff to stay in constant contact, so they can step in quickly if a student needs help or an incident occurs.

This discreet, efficient communication method supports stronger safeguarding practices without disrupting the learning environment.

Built for Education Environments

Our radios are designed to handle the unique demands of schools, colleges, and universities:

Durable, lightweight devices for every day use
Clear audio - even in noisy environments like sports halls or common rooms
Long battery life for full day coverage
Models with private channels for sensitive conversations

We'll help you choose the best system for your building size, staff numbers, and safeguarding needs.

A cost effective long term solution

Budgets are tight in education, so it’s good to know that two-way radios are a low-cost, low-maintenance communication option:

No ongoing call charges
Less downtime than mobile phones
Easily scalable as your site grows

Whether you're managing a small primary school or a sprawling university campus, we can design a setup that works within your budget.

Case Studies

Bishop's Stortford College

Bishop’s Stortford College sits on a very large campus and houses a Pre-Prep, Prep School and a Senior School, and it was proving impossible to communicate from the estates office to the sports field and pavilion, which are in another postcode.
