Sport is a vital component in the development of pupils of all ages. A football match, a swimming tournament or a dance exhibition are all experiences from which one can learn the value of teamwork and develop a healthy competitive attitude.

Sports and games are available at different levels. From inter-school matches, to House competitions to after school clubs and activities, pupils will always find an activity they can enjoy. The important thing is to join in.

Physical Education (P.E.) forms an integral part of the curriculum at the school and is also a major area of extra curricular activity. It is considered a healthy way to develop pupils' physical competence and confidence. It also promotes physical co-ordination, physical development and knowledge of the body in action.

At the British School, we have a football academy that is run every academic year by UK qualified coaches. The aim of this academy is to help fulfill children's potential in football and build interest as well as skill in the sport through a series of planned matches, games and training exercises.

From learning the basics to becoming an efficient striker, defender, goalkeeper or playmaker on the pitch, the academy tailors individual skill with teamwork to create well-rounded and professional players.
