This Building Bulletin on design for fire safety in schools gives comprehensive guidance on the life safety requirements to comply with Part B of the Building Regulations on Fire Safety.

It also describes appropriate strategies to reduce the risk from fires and recommends property protection measures that go beyond the life safety requirements of the Building Regulations.

It includes the new policy of the Department for Children, Families and Schools on sprinklers in schools and the expectation that the majority of new schools will have sprinkler systems installed for property protection. Risk analysis and cost benefit tools for assessing whether to install a sprinkler system in a new build or refurbished school are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM (included).
