General Information & School Games Organisers

National School Games Mission: Putting physical activity and competitive sport at the heart of schools and providing more young people with the opportunity to compete and achieve their personal best.

It consists of four unique types of competition:

• Intra-School Competition - An activity taking place between pupils at the same school. For example, this can be in the form of a class 'v' class or house activity. These competitions could culminate in an annual School Games Day or Sports Day, to celebrate a schools sporting success.
• Local Inter-School Competition - An activity taking place between schools from the same area, either as a one-off fixture or as part of a league. These competitions may act as qualifiers or can be run as development competitions or festival events to meet the needs of the School Games area.
• School Games County Provision/Offer - A culmination of a series of local inter-school competitions or as open entry events.
• School Games National Finals - The Biennial four-day multi-sport event.
