Overview of the School Games

From September 2011 a new programme was introduced across the country, the School Games.  This programme is a celebration of competitive sport that will involve all young people from year 3-13 of all abilities and backgrounds.  With the support from the School Sport Partnership young people are given the opportunity to participate in a year round sporting calendar with over 30 sports available, specifically designed to get children competing at intra-school and inter school levels and culminating in local, regional and national events. 

The School Games is made up of 4 levels of competition:

Level 1: Intra-school competition, culminating in a School Games day

Level 2: Regular inter-school competition between schools at a local level – including partnership competitions

Level 3: Annual county/area culmination of inter-school competitions – School Games Festivals

Level 4: National multi-sport event
