How the campus is kept safe, and how children get to school.

What the school has in place for safety, the rules at the gate, and its own bus service, which has run since March 2014.

The street side of the building: a board-marked concrete wall with hanging creepers, the school crest and the name PLAYPEN, and the red canopy over the entrance at the foot.
01Safety on campusThe five things the school lists

What the campus has in place.

Five safeguards, as the school lists them on its campus page. Nothing here is added to what it says.

  • Cameras

    CCTV across the campus.

  • Security

    Security staff round the clock.

  • Fire safety

    Extinguishers on every floor.

  • Health

    A sick room.

    For minor health problems during school hours. A serious case is handed to the parents, who decide on treatment.

  • Water and washrooms

    On every floor.

    Drinking water, and separate boys' and girls' toilets, on each floor.

The school says it follows local and Cambridge Board guidelines for child protection.

02Every dayWhat parents and children are asked to do

Small things that keep a day safe.

Identity cards
Every student receives an identity card on admission and wears it every day on school premises. A lost or damaged card is replaced through the school office.
Contact details
Parents tell teachers and the office, in writing, whenever an address, phone number, email address or emergency contact changes.
Mobile phones
The code of conduct does not allow mobile phones for students up to Class XII. A student who needs to reach a parent urgently can do so through the school office.
A concern about a child
Raise it with the class teacher, the Teacher-in-Charge for the class, or the school office. The lines are at the foot of this page.
The counsellor

A student counsellor is on standby.

A designated member of the faculty, for concerns that are not medical. Student support

The school entrance at street level: a red steel canopy over folding grille doors, brick steps and a shrub by the planter wall, no one there.
03At the gateArrival and departure, for every family

Arrival and departure.

Every family uses the gate, with or without the bus. The school asks three things.

  • Students carry their own bag rather than use the bus luggage compartment: it reduces congestion and lateness at the gate
  • Drivers follow the school's traffic rules and avoid using the horn
  • Drivers slow down near the school premises

04The school busThe school's own service since March 2014

Asking for a place on the school bus.

Playpen has run its own bus service since March 2014, and the school says it puts student safety and welfare first. Parents apply for a place in three steps.

  1. 01

    Apply at the Administrative Office.

    Parents who want a bus place for their child submit an application at the Administrative Office, House 545/A, Block J, Road 19, Bashundhara R/A, Dhaka 1229.

  2. 02

    The office confirms route and place.

    Routes and availability are confirmed by the office when the application is made.

  3. 03

    Go through the bus rules with your child.

    The rules are beside these steps. They apply to every student who travels on the school bus.

On the bus
  • Listen to and respect teacher instructions
  • Speak quietly
  • Do not eat or drink on board
  • Keep hands inside the bus
  • Use appropriate language

Routes, areas served and the transport fee are confirmed at the office when you apply; see Ask the office, below.

05QuestionsAbout the bus only; the day's rules are on The school day

Three questions about the bus.

Does the school run its own buses?

Yes. The school has run its own bus service since March 2014. Parents who want a place apply at the Administrative Office.

Can my child bring a phone on the bus?

No. The school's code of conduct does not allow mobile phones for students up to Class XII. Policies and documents has the code of conduct.

Can my child put a bag in the bus luggage compartment?

The school asks students to carry their own bag instead: it reduces congestion and lateness at the gate. A child who is unwell, or a concern about a child, is answered on The school day, under First things.
