Play

The school values play and the freedom to play. The importance of life outside lessons is fully realised and a wide-range of non-curricular activities are available, both in and around school, some structured, others not.

Spaces to play and time to play are an important aspect of life at KAS. Play is the natural way in which children go about the business of learning. Whether child or adult initiated, play is seen as a key process in a child's education, a way of integrating and consolidating skills and understanding. Play is a crucial part of educating the whole child. This is why KAS insists on preserving and trying to enlarge its natural environment. Our students are offered the chance to engage in a whole range of active learning situations, including many opportunities to develop their social as well as their physical skills.
