The corridor noticeboard, upgraded.
Timetable door signs, safeguarding messaging, corridor boards and lockdown broadcast for primary, secondary and academy trusts.
School comms can't afford to be missed. Paper corkboards miss them every day.
A primary or secondary school runs comms to three audiences simultaneously — pupils (safeguarding, timetable changes, lost property, assembly content), staff (CPD, cover arrangements, safeguarding briefings), visitors and parents (welcome, parking, open-evening directions). Static corkboards and printed newsletters reach none of them well. Hangar.Media puts the timetable on the classroom door, safeguarding messages in corridors, lockdown-override broadcast everywhere, and reception-welcome on the lobby screen. Safeguarding-first architecture means no pupil PII ever transits to public-facing screens.
Built for how schools actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
Classroom doors that know what's inside.
Classroom-door screens pull current-lesson data from your school MIS (SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, Go4Schools) so pupils arriving late or cover-teachers starting a new lesson see what's being taught, by whom, until when. Timetable changes (cover arrangements, room-swap for broken projectors) propagate within a minute. No more 'wrong room' or 'teacher's moved' chaos.
Cover teachers walk in knowing the class and the lesson plan. Pupils know they're in the right place.
- SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, Go4Schools and FHIR-compatible MIS integration
- Current-lesson, teacher-name, until-when on every classroom door
- Cover-arrangement and room-swap instant propagation
- Safeguarding-first: subject and teacher name only, no pupil names
Corridors that do more than just hang posters.
Corridor-screen rotations show school-life content — today's assembly theme, upcoming exam schedule, school-trip countdowns, club-and-society notices, achievement-recognition (opt-in parental consent), safeguarding reminders (anti-bullying, e-safety, wellbeing). Content is curated per age-key-stage so Year-7 corridors see age-appropriate material.
The corridor wall becomes part of the school day, not just wall-dressing.
- Per-year-group content curation (KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4, sixth-form)
- Opt-in pupil-achievement recognition with parental-consent tracking
- Safeguarding messaging (anti-bullying, CAMHS, Childline helplines)
- School-trip and special-event countdown overlays
Safeguarding signage, scheduled and audit-logged.
Safeguarding-first means two things: no pupil PII on public-facing screens, and scheduled display of safeguarding-mandated content with audit log for Ofsted, Estyn or Education Scotland inspection. Anti-bullying messaging, mental-health support contacts (CAMHS, Childline, Kooth, Young Minds), e-safety reminders, Prevent-agenda content — all scheduled and logged per screen per minute.
Inspectors ask what safeguarding content ran on 12 November. The export is 30 seconds.
- Anti-bullying, CAMHS, Childline, Kooth, Young Minds scheduled messaging
- Per-screen minute-by-minute display log with PDF / CSV export
- Prevent-agenda and e-safety scheduled content
- Consent-workflow for any pupil-appearing content
Emergency button. Every screen. Ten seconds.
Lockdown events (intruder alert, severe-weather shelter-in-place, fire evacuation) require school-wide signage override within seconds. Our bridge-level override pushes emergency content to every screen within 10 seconds, with zone-level targeting for partial-building evacuations. Fire-alarm and intruder-alarm integration enables automatic triggering. Every broadcast is audit-logged with timestamp and approver for post-incident review and Ofsted evidence.
Intruder alert declared. Every screen shows lockdown instructions within 10 seconds.
- Bridge-override to every screen in ≤10 seconds
- Zone-level targeting (evacuate this wing, lockdown that one)
- Fire-alarm and intruder-alarm auto-trigger integration
- Post-incident audit log with timestamp and approver trail
20 schools. One dashboard. Local character preserved.
Academy trusts manage content centrally — trust-wide safeguarding content, shared curriculum resources, joint-campaign rollouts — while each school's headteacher retains autonomy over local achievements, local-event programming, and house-system content. Role-based permissions scope editing per role (trust comms, headteacher, deputy, teacher). Trust-wide KPI dashboards (attendance, behaviour) surface on admin-area screens.
Trust-wide consistency in safeguarding. Local school character everywhere else.
- Trust-wide content library with per-school override
- Role-based permissions (trust comms, head, deputy, teacher)
- Joint-campaign rollout across every academy simultaneously
- Per-school attendance and behaviour dashboards for senior leadership
Every screen in the building.
From customer-facing walls to operational dashboards — the scenarios that make the platform worth running day-to-day.

Age-appropriate school-life content
Corridor screens with assembly content, exam-schedule boards, achievement walls (opt-in), safeguarding messaging and house-system content.
Assembly theme and announcements
Assembly-hall screens with today's theme, readings, school-wide achievements and visiting-speaker welcome content.
Cover arrangements and CPD schedules
Staff-room screens with today's cover arrangements, CPD schedule, safeguarding briefings and trust-wide bulletins.

Which school MIS systems do you integrate with?
SIMS (Capita / ESS), Arbor, Bromcom, Go4Schools, Integris G2, iSAMS (for independent schools) and FHIR-compatible systems. We pull timetable data, cover arrangements and room assignments with safeguarding-first defaults — no pupil names ever transit to public-facing screens. For academy trusts running multiple MIS instances, we support mixed-MIS deployments with per-school routing.
How do you handle pupil-photo and achievement content?
Strict consent-workflow. Any content featuring a pupil (photo, name, achievement post) must have parental / carer consent recorded in our consent-tracking system before it can be published. Default state is blank-out — no pupil can appear on a screen without explicit opt-in. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and the content drops immediately. Full audit log supports Ofsted / Estyn data-protection review.
How fast does lockdown-broadcast reach every screen?
Under 10 seconds in every tested deployment. A duty-officer or senior-leader button-press in the dashboard pushes override content to every screen in the school within 10 seconds. Zone-level targeting supports partial evacuations (evacuate science block while locking down main building). Fire-alarm and intruder-alarm system integration enables automatic triggering. Audit log captures every broadcast with timestamp and approver.
Pricing for a primary school?
£5 per screen per month, flat. A single-site primary school with 8 screens (reception + 4 corridor + assembly hall + staff room + sports hall) pays £40 per month. A 20-school academy trust with 15 screens per school pays £1,500 per month. Same price whether you run one site or a hundred. No tiers, no per-connector fees, no sector premium.
