Sport at Keystage

Every child plays.
Not just the gifted ones.

A full marked athletics track, a football turf, a hard court and a training area — timetabled into curriculum time for every grade, every week. Talent is coached here, not merely spotted.

The facilities

Built, marked and
in daily use.

Not a plan on a drawing. Every surface below exists on campus and appears on the weekly timetable.

A full marked oval with lanes for sprints, middle distance and relays, plus field-event space alongside.
11-a-side

Outdoor training area

Climbing frames, rope ladders, tyres and bars for strength, balance and coordination work in the junior years.

Junior play & splash zone

A separate, softer play area for the primary grades, including a supervised splash zone used through the warmer months.

Safety on the field

A trained first-aider on duty during games, a stocked medical room, hydration points and supervised warm-up as standard.

What is on offer

Twelve sports,
one timetable.

Every student plays something. The list widens as a child moves up, and specialisation is a choice made around Grade 6, not before.

In the timetable

How much sport
a child actually gets.

Physical education is a scheduled subject, not a free period that gets absorbed when the syllabus runs late.

The player pathway

From a first PE lesson
to a district vest.

Five stages, each with a named coach and a clear route on. Nobody is left at stage one because nobody noticed them.

01

Participation

Every child plays in timetabled PE. Fundamentals of movement, coordination and fair play — no selection, no bench.

Grades 1–12
02

House competition

Four houses compete through the year in athletics, football, basketball and indoor games. Everyone represents something.

Grades 3–12
03

School squads

Selection into school squads with fixed practice sessions, position coaching and inter-school fixtures.

Grades 6–12
04

District & inter-school

Representative sport at district level and above, with an adjusted academic schedule where the calendar demands it.

Grades 8–12
05

Specialisation support

Individual training plans, external coaching links and fitness monitoring for students pursuing sport seriously.

Grades 9–12

Houses & the calendar

Competition that runs
all year.

Every student joins a house on day one and stays in it. It is where mixed-age friendships form and where quieter children first find something they are good at.

Annual Sports Day

A full track and field meet in December with every grade competing and families invited.

House championship

Points accumulated across every sport and event through the year, awarded at the final assembly.

Inter-school fixtures

Regular fixtures against schools across Palladam, Tiruppur and Coimbatore.

Fitness tracking

Termly fitness assessment for Grades 6 upward, reported to parents alongside academic progress.

Come and watch
a games period.

The quickest way to judge a school’s sport is to see it on an ordinary Tuesday, not on sports day.
