Why Schools Choose GT PAT Testing
Professional PAT Testing for Schools & Educational Establishments
Schools rely on hundreds of electrical appliances every day—from classroom computers and interactive whiteboards to kitchen equipment, projectors and extension leads. Regular PAT Testing helps ensure these items remain safe for pupils, staff and visitors while supporting your health and safety responsibilities.
At GT PAT Testing & Maintenance, we provide professional PAT Testing for schools, academies, colleges and educational settings throughout Harrow, London and the Home Counties. We understand the importance of working around the school day and can carry out testing during holidays, inset days, evenings or quieter periods to minimise disruption.
Every appliance is tested, labelled and recorded, with digital certification supplied for your compliance records.

FAQ - Schools
-
There is no law stating PAT Testing must be carried out at specific intervals. However, schools have a legal duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Regular PAT Testing is the simplest way to demonstrate compliance.
-
Yes. Most of our school PAT Testing is completed during school holidays, INSET days, evenings or early mornings to minimise disruption to pupils and staff.
-
Absolutely. Every appliance tested is recorded and you'll receive:
✅ Digital Test Certificate
✅ Pass / Fail Reports
✅ Appliance Register
✅ Asset Records (if required)
Everything you need for inspections, audits and insurance.
-
Any failed appliance is clearly labelled and recorded on your report. Where possible, we can replace simple items such as plugs or fuses during the visit, or advise on the safest course of action.
-
The frequency depends on the type of equipment and how often it is used. We'll happily recommend a suitable testing schedule based on current guidance and your school's environment.
