Physical Education
Physical & Co-Curricular
Physical Education (PE)
Structured physical education is a core component of every student's timetable. PE develops physical fitness, coordination, teamwork, and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
KS International School's PE programme takes advantage of the school's outstanding facilities — including the swimming pool, sports grounds, and courts — to deliver a diverse, enjoyable physical education experience.
Co-Curricular Activities
Every student participates in a structured co-curricular activity during the final period on Monday to Thursday. Available activities include:
Cambridge Assessments
KS International School students are assessed throughout the year using Cambridge Primary Progression Tests — standardised assessments that measure student progress against international benchmarks. At Year 6, students sit the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint, an externally marked assessment that provides a comprehensive profile of each student's readiness for secondary school.
Additionally, students are entered for ICAS (International Competitions and Assessments for Schools) — independent international assessments in Mathematics, Science, English, and Digital Technologies. KS International School earned Gold Medal Winner School status for ICAS 2020.
