Why use digital signage in a primary school?

In a primary school the audience at the screen is often a parent at drop-off or pick-up, as much as the children. Screens in the entrance and hall carry reminders and celebrations that would otherwise go home in book bags. With Mass Coms, the same screens show lockdown or evacuation instructions when staff declare an incident.

Reminders parents actually see.

The entrance screen is the one place every parent looks twice a day.

05

Clubs

Wellbeing

Short, positive messages and who to talk to.

Clear instructions for staff and visiting parents.

Young children follow adults, so the alert is written for the adults in the building: staff, volunteers and parents helping out. It appears on every screen at once, with your own wording for each scenario.

  • Your wording for lockdown, evacuation and invacuation
  • Evacuation routes and assembly points from each screen
  • Drills show on screens too, so staff practise with the real alert
  • Every activation logged for governors and inspections

Questions primary schools ask.

Every question answered
Where do primary schools usually put screens?

In the entrance where parents wait, in the hall, and sometimes in the main corridor. Start with the entrance.

Can the PTA update the screens?

Anyone you give a Mass Coms login can edit pages in the browser. Many schools let the office or PTA lead keep event pages current.

Is it suitable for young children to see an alert?

The alert is written by you, per scenario, so you choose calm, clear wording for your setting.

How many screens does a primary school need?

Most start with one or two. Book 3 or more and one licence is free.
