The School Games aims to provide every child with a positive experience in an environment where the young person’s motivation, competence and confidence are at the centre of the competition.
The School Games is funded by Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust.
The School Games is a government-led programme which puts physical activity and school sport at the heart of schools, and provides young people with the opportunity to enjoy and learn through competition to achieve their personal best.
Sport can encourage the growth of numerous qualities within young people and we encourage teachers and event organisers to celebrate success around six key values:
- determination
- honesty
- passion
- respect
- self-belief
- teamwork.
