Early Years (EYFS)
Low-height, high-sensory play for ages 2–5: tactile panels, sand and water, cause-and-effect features and soft-fall surfacing — sized to little bodies and aligned to the EYFS prime areas of learning.
Age-Appropriate Play Zones, EYFS to Secondary
One campus, four very different stages of childhood. We master-plan play environments that give Early Years, Lower and Upper Primary, and Secondary students each the right challenge — safely zoned, with the sight-lines and circulation that let them share a single site.
International schools rarely buy a single playground; they develop a whole campus in phases. We zone by developmental stage and curriculum band — EYFS, Key Stage 1–2 / PYP, and Key Stage 3–5 / MYP and senior — so every age has equipment pitched to its stage, separated by buffers and supervised by clear sight-lines.
Key enhancements
How we zone a campus by age.
Lower Primary (KS1 / PYP)
Imaginative, social play for ages 5–8: climbing at a confidence-building scale, role-play structures and gross-motor circuits that build coordination without overwhelming.
Upper Primary (KS2)
Genuine physical challenge for ages 8–11: taller climbing, balance and agility circuits and team play that holds the attention of children who have outgrown the infant playground.
Secondary & Senior (KS3–5)
Spaces teenagers actually use: outdoor fitness and calisthenics, social seating, shade and informal sport — designed so older students stay active and on-campus at break.
Buffers & sight-lines
Each zone is separated by circulation buffers and laid out for clear adult sight-lines, so younger and older children share one campus safely and supervision stays simple.
Phased master-plan
We map the whole campus first, then sequence the build into summer-break windows over one or several years — so the playground grows with the school, not against the timetable.
Why choose us
Why schools master-plan age zones with Leka.
Developmentally pitched
Every zone is matched to the developmental stage and curriculum band it serves, not a one-size catalogue drop.
Whole-campus thinking
We plan circulation, sight-lines and phasing across the entire site, so the parts add up to a coherent campus.
Certified for each age
Equipment and fall-protection certified to EN 1176 / ASTM F1487 and sized to the right fall height for each age band.
Built around the calendar
Phased delivery into term breaks keeps every stage open while the next is built.
For architects & specifiers
Specifying play for a school or campus? We work the way your studio does.
Much of our work reaches the ground through the architects and landscape architects who design the schools and campuses it sits in. Here is what that partnership adds to your practice.
Schematic-phase design support
Brief us at concept or schematic stage and we send back layout options, 3D renders and a play-value rationale you can drop into a client presentation — free, with no obligation to buy.
BoQ-ready, bilingual specs
Each item arrives specified — dimensions, materials, safety zones, certifications — as drawing-ready line items in English and Thai, so your QS and your client read the same document.
Compliance evidence for your set
Play equipment certified to EN 1176, surfacing to EN 1177 / ASTM F1292, with critical-fall-height data sized to each structure — the documentation your specification and the site inspection need.
Factory-direct pricing
We manufacture and import directly, so the play budget buys specified-grade equipment at a transparent price — and tends to survive value engineering with the spec intact.
One accountable partner
Design support, supply, surfacing and installation under a single contract — so the outdoor-play scope does not fragment across your consultants and the main contractor’s trades.
Specified for the tropics
UV-stable, monsoon-drained and corrosion-rated for Southeast-Asian sites — so what leaves your drawings still performs and looks right after a few seasons on the ground.
Whether you’re designing a K-12 school, a university or campus building, an international school or an early-years or kindergarten setting, the play and outdoor-learning scope is the part we make drawing-ready.
Education FAQ
Common questions for this scope.
Which age bands do you design for?
From Early Years (EYFS, ages 2–5) through Lower and Upper Primary (KS1–2) to Secondary and senior students (KS3–5). International campuses are K–12, so we plan for the whole journey, not just the infant playground.
How do you keep young and older children safe on one campus?
We separate zones with circulation buffers, design clear adult sight-lines, and time-table or fence shared areas where needed — so each age has equipment pitched to its stage without mixing risk profiles.
Can we build it in phases?
Yes — we master-plan the full campus, then sequence the build into summer-break windows over one or more academic years, so play grows with the school and term-time is never disrupted.
Do older students really use playground spaces?
They use the right spaces — outdoor fitness, calisthenics, social seating, shade and informal sport. Designed for teenagers rather than infants, these zones keep secondary students active and on-campus at break.
Can you support our schematic or design-development phase?
Yes. Brief us at concept or schematic stage and we return layout options, 3D renders and a play-value rationale you can put straight into a client presentation, at no cost. We stay available through DD and tender so the specification stays coordinated.
Do you provide BoQ-ready specifications and CAD/3D for our drawings?
Every item is specified with dimensions, materials, safety zones and certifications — in English and Thai — as drawing-ready line items, with 2D footprints and 3D models or renders on request so your team can place equipment accurately.
Is the equipment certified to the standards we have to specify?
Play equipment is certified to EN 1176 and surfacing to EN 1177 / ASTM F1292, with critical-fall-height data matched to each structure. We hand over the documentation your specification and the project’s safety inspection require.
