Is Your Child Safe at School?
Every parent who kisses a child goodbye at a school door holds an unspoken but potent wish — that the child will be safe, cared for and supported through the day. But in today's school safety is about more than just locked gates and security guards. It encompasses emotional care, mental health, digital awareness and the nurturing environment children need in which to truly thrive.
At Bhagirath Public School, safety is more than a checklist—it is a way of life, and a value that is woven into every facet of what we do, both visible and invisible.
1. A Safe Physical Environment
It starts with a safe, well-managed environment. At Bhagirath Public School both cameras are installed, visitor verification system is in place, we also conduct fire drills on regular basis, the first-aid room is there and is well equipped.
We check classrooms and corridors, stadia and school buses, to play yards and parking lots, all the time, to make sure everything is running safely. Our teachers and staff are also trained in emergency response, first aid and child protection — ready to act at any time.
2. Emotional and Psychological Safety
Real learning occurs when children are emotionally safe. That's why we concentrate on building trust with a safe space where each child's voice feels and is heard and supported.
We believe we are working to instill emotional intelligence — helping students understand, process and express their emotions in healthy ways — in our programs and daily interactions. Want to explore more? Take a look at our blog:
Fostering Emotional Intelligence in Students
Teachers here are so much more than educators; they are mentors and trusted allies who work closely with every child to make sure that each and every one of them feels valued and respected.
3. Stops Bullying and Monitors Behavior
All of us feel this is a basic right that all children should have: that no child should be afraid to go to school. That's why we have introduced a tough anti-bullying policy, with regular awareness sessions and anonymous reporting.
We emphasize positive discipline — guiding pupils with empathy, kindness and accountability rather than punishment. The parents are always kept in the loop and any issues are addressed with a sense of sensitivity and teamwork.
4. Digital & Cyber Safety
Technology is ubiquitous, and our students are coming of age in a digital world. We ensure they're not only tech-savvy but tech-safe. Scope out why with restricted screen time, secure learning zones and tracked IT systems, your learning remains safe online.
We are also teaching students how to be responsible digital citizens, how to make wise decisions while using the web.
5. Parental Transparency and Collaboration
The safety of students is a collective responsibility. That's why we work hard to keep parents close — through open lines of communication, timely updates and interactive tools.
To help you make sense of all of this and support your child at home, we've pulled together some useful advice:

We would be happy to have a conversation — whether it involves academics, behavior or emotional needs. Your voice counts, and we are here to listen.
6. Value-Based Learning Environment
Beyond the walls of each school, the foundation of a safe school is a strong sense of community. We take them farther and do so much more than academics; we develop Honesty, Empathy, Respect, etc. in every child. These are values that come from every class, every interaction, and every experience.
Our students don't just follow rules they look out for one another because they care, not because they are told to.
Final Thoughts
So how safe is your child at school?
In Bhagirath Public School, we boldly say — very safe.
But safety is not a static goal. It's work in progress, rooted in care, trust, and positive relationships. From safety and security to emotional well-being and parent partnerships, we have a series of pledges that we strive to embody for your child each and every day.
If you are the one who is looking for a place that is as much about learning as it is about safety, we are your right address — for helping your child at every stage of their journey.
