Case Study: Stratford School Academy improves student safety and health with Verkada

How Stratford School Academy Creates Safer, Healthier Environments with an All-in-One System

Stratford School Academy, a secondary school in the London Borough of Newham, needed a simpler way to manage safety across two buildings while also addressing youth vaping and streamlining estate and IT operations. Vendor Verkada provided an all-in-one cloud platform, including cameras and air quality sensors with vape detection, to help the school monitor its campus more effectively.

With Verkada, Stratford School Academy centralized video security, vape alerts, and mobile monitoring for staff, enabling faster response to incidents and easier oversight across both buildings. The school reports 805 investigation hours saved over three years, a 67% decrease in overall vape events, and interception of about 90% of vape alerts.
