Opportunity and Success on a Global Stage
The King’s Group vision is to create a global community of pupils and staff; broadening horizons, fostering understanding and raising aspirations by connecting our academies with other schools across the world.
At King’s Academy College Park, we believe that an internationally-minded curriculum builds cultural understanding, improves communication skills, and promotes knowledge and awareness of the wider world. Enrichment activities such as International Day and overseas partnership projects provide unique opportunities for students to explore people and places beyond the limitations of their surroundings.
King's Academy College Park holds a Foundation level International School Award from the British Council to acknowledge the work that goes on in our school to promote international collaboration.
Coordinating our international work at King’s Academy College Park is Miss Pullen. If you are interested in getting involved in our international projects by volunteering knowledge, or sharing your experiences or expertise, please contact us.
International Ambassadors
All schools in King's Group Academies appoint a number of International Ambassadors to champion all internationally-minded work in their school. They are positive role models, especially regarding welcoming students coming to their school from other countries and promoting language learning. In this role, they help the school’s International Coordinator to promote global awareness, lead global initiatives, foster partnerships with schools overseas, and engage the school community in embracing a global perspective.
Ambassadors actively promote global awareness and understanding by helping to run events, workshops, and activities that showcase diverse perspectives and cultures. They believe in the importance of having an internationally inclusive school and learning about, with and from people all over the world.

International Days
All King’s Group Academies came alive with the colours, sounds and celebrations of the countries and cultures represented in each school in the Summer Term 2023. International Celebration days are an opportunity to embrace the rich diversity of our student bodies as well as learn more about the experiences of our friends in our partner schools around the world.
A key fixture on the calendars of all King’s Group Academies is International Day. On this day, our schools come alive with the colours, sounds and celebrations of the countries and cultures represented in their communities and curriculums. International Days are an opportunity to embrace the rich diversity of our student bodies as well as learn more about the experiences of our friends in our partner schools around the world.
From activities in language, sport, music, art, global issues and cultural traditions, students are exposed to a rich tapestry of ideas in creative and collaborative ways on KGA International Days.
Ultimately, integrating International Days into the school calendar not only enhances the educational experience but also prepares students to be informed and compassionate global citizens in an increasingly interconnected world.
Find out about our overseas partnerships!
Partnership projects such as these offer a myriad of benefits to all involved. Not only is curriculum work enriched with real-world context, but through these shared projects, students gain a broader and personal perspective on global issues, allowing them to approach challenges with a more open and empathetic mindset.
"The quality of the work produced has been significantly higher than usual due to the real-life collaboration and accountability to their new peers.”
Teacher, KACP
Amity International School, Abu Dhabi
Students at King’s Academy College Park enjoyed collaborating with peers in the UAE on projects to promote their cultural and geographical understanding. Year 5 students from Amity International School, Abu Dhabi took part in live question and answer sessions with KACP students and undertook shared projects to teach one another about their locality. We are looking forward to building on this partnership to include collaborative work across a variety of curriculum areas.
