Terms of use

You may read, print and share the pages of this site for your own use and with your family, for example to plan a visit or to apply. The site is a guide to the school. Please do not use it in a way that harms it or makes it hard for others to use.

The text and photographs on this site belong to Playpen School, unless a page says otherwise. The school's name and logo are the school's: please do not use them in a way that suggests the school backs something it has not agreed to.

If you would like to reuse a photograph or a passage of text, ask the school first. Photographs that show children are not to be copied or reused.

The site was designed and built by Defined Solution (opens in a new tab).

This site is written from what the school has published, and it is a guide, not a promise. Some details change during the year: whether a class has space, notices and dates, uniform suppliers, payment channels. Before you act on a detail that matters, such as a date, a form, a fee or a place on the school bus, confirm it with the school by telephone. The admissions lines are open between 9.00 am and 1.00 pm; the numbers are on the Contact page and in the Ask the school panel on this page.

Nothing on this site is an offer of a place. The school decides admission through its own process: an assessment or a written test, an interview, and the Principal's decision. Applications for the current year are accepted if there is space. How to apply sets out the steps.

A few links leave this site: the parents' portal and online fee payment on the school's current website, the two admission-form PDFs that still live there, the map on Google Maps, and the credit to the site's designer. They open in a new tab and say so. The school is not responsible for what an outside site publishes, and a link is not an endorsement.

Enquire, Book a visit and the admission form on How to apply send what you type to the school's admissions office and give you a code (ENQ-, VIS- or APP-) to quote when you call. Each asks you to confirm you are the child's parent or guardian. The job application on Careers sends to the school office with a JOB- code. The request to join the alumni community, for former students aged 18 or older, sends to the school office with an ALU- code; it asks you to confirm your age and that you have left the school. The Contact page has no form. Privacy says what is kept and for how long.

The question helper at the bottom right of each page is automatic, not a person. It answers from the school's published pages and is not advice: before you act on a date, a fee or a place, confirm it with the school by telephone. Privacy says how long its conversations are kept.

The site is designed to work with a keyboard, a screen reader and enlarged text, and to switch off its movement on request (the “Reduce motion” switch at the foot of every page). If a page is hard to use, tell the school by telephone which page it was and what went wrong, so that it can be put right.

The school may change these terms. The date at the foot of this page says when they were last updated.
