Ashcroft Technology Academy employs state of the art security technology, in closed-circuit television, which is sited both internally and externally as well as intruder detection systems and access control on all its entrances. The Academy also has a modern and comprehensive fire detection system. Both the fire and intruder systems are linked to a central monitoring station to ensure 24 hour coverage, seven days a week.

Access to the main Academy buildings for students and visitors is carefully monitored. Identification badges are issued to all visitors and are also worn by the staff and Sixth Form students.
