Physical Education & Sport

High Quality PE and School Sport for all at QK

We believe that everyone has a sport or activity that they will enjoy and can achieve in. At QK, the PE department aims introduce all students to a wide range of physical activities so they can continue to lead healthy active lifestyles when they leave school. The Department's dynamic forward thinking sees no barriers to our students' development.

Students are taught to make informed choices about living healthy, active lifestyles.

QK students enjoy and compete in an annual sports day, the highlight of the PE calendar.

Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down barriers. It laughs in the face of discrimination.
