2012 Inspiring school sport
The School Games is a new exciting four level – intra school, inter school, county festivals and national finals – competition for school children in England. It’s hoped the national finals will be a UK event. The Games are designed to build on the magic of 2012 to enable every school and child to participate in competitive sport including meaningful opportunities for disabled youngsters.
Nationally and locally the School Games is being delivered through partnerships. At a local level the School Games will be delivered by schools, clubs, county sports partnerships and other local partners. Local Organising Committees are being set up, chaired by Head Teachers, to oversee the county festivals. Whilst just one of the local partners, county sports partnerships have an important role to play in helping to stage the festivals.
The competition aims to further revive the culture of competitive sport in schools. Every school in England, and subject to the agreement of the Devolved Administrations schools in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, will be given the opportunity to get involved, potentially giving every school child the chance to take part.
