Empowering SEND Educators with Motorola Vertex

Shaftesbury High School in North West London caters to students with a broad range of moderate to severe and complex learning difficulties and disabilities. The dedicated staff understand the daily challenges of a SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) school and are committed to supporting students with diverse needs.

Set across a relatively large site, the school previously relied on outdated radios and needed to increase its inventory as the student and staff roll expanded. SFL Mobile Radio attentively listened to their specific needs to identify a suitable radio model that would align with the size and scale of the school.

The Motorola Vertex EVX Radio, known for its compact, discreet, and lightweight design, is ideal for busy educational environments. It can be worn on a belt, tucked into a pocket, or clipped to a lapel or lanyard. Water-submersible and dust-proof, it withstands demanding conditions while providing essential communication capabilities throughout the school. This allows staff to quickly respond to extraordinary circumstances, such as first aid and medical emergencies.
