Your School Games

The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.

School Games Mission:

Putting physical activity and competitive sport at the heart of schools and providing more young people with the opportunity to enjoy competing and achieve their personal best. 

School Games Vision:

The School Games will continue to make a clear and meaningful difference to the lives of even more children and young people. 

 

School games – Principles of competition

  1. The young person’s motivation, competence and confidence are at the centre of the competition
  2. The focus is on the process rather than the outcome (on the learning and values development of the young person rather than the results)
  3. Volunteers, leaders and officials are appropriately trained and display behaviours reflective of the nature of the competition
  4. The environment is safe and creates opportunities to learn and maximise social development
  5. The facility and the environment that is created for the competition reflects the motivations, competence and confidence of the young people and format of the competition.

School Games Values:

The Spirit of the games values of determination, honesty, passion, respect, self-belief and teamwork were developed by young people to identify what the experience of school sport should be built around, and they focus on personal excellence through competition.
