How Priory Rise School Improved Safety and Communication with Motorola T82 Extreme Radios

Priory Rise School has enhanced staff communication and student safety by introducing Motorola T82 Extreme two-way radios into daily use. With a growing number of responsibilities and a busy site to manage, the school recognised the need for a faster, more reliable way to stay connected.

Previously, staff relied on mobile phones and face-to-face messages, which often caused delays, especially in urgent situations like medical incidents or site issues. The site team and SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) staff needed instant communication while moving around the school. Two-way radios offered the perfect solution.

Why the Motorola T82 Extreme?

After researching several options, the school chose the Motorola T82 Extreme for its reliability, clear audio and ease of use. The radios were first trialled by the site and SENCO teams and quickly proved their worth.

“I believe they’ve made our school much safer on several fronts,” said Andy Dickens, Site Manager at Priory Rise School.

Staff could respond faster to incidents, coordinate tasks more easily and stay in touch throughout the day. Following the success of the trial, more radios were purchased to expand access across the team.

Real Benefits in Daily School Life

Since bringing in the radios, the school has seen smoother operations, particularly during busy times like drop-off, break times and school events. Communication is now instant and reliable, improving both supervision and response times.

Features That Support the School

The T82 Extreme radios stood out for their:

• Emergency alert function for critical situations
• Clear audio throughout the school grounds
• Long battery life to last the full day
• Durable, weather-resistant design
• Simple controls requiring no training
• Lightweight, comfortable build

Easy to Buy and Set Up

Ordering the radios online was quick and straightforward, with setup taking just minutes.

“Buying online couldn’t have been simpler,” added Andy Dickens.

Rated a perfect 5 out of 5, the Motorola T82 Extreme is now a key part of Priory Rise School’s safety and communication strategy.
