School sport

The School Games Mark is awarded for schools' commitment to PE and school sport including participation in curricular and extra-curricular activities, intra and inter-school competitions, leadership and volunteering and links with local clubs.

The School Games Mark is directly linked to a schools engagement in school sport and reflects a broad and balanced offer that actively encourages those young people who aren't currently engaged or who are engaged less often.

This isn't about provision for a small cohort of young people but needs to consider ALL the school's population. The number of schools achieving the School Games Mark has increased yearly and in 2018/19, a total of 44 schools achieved the award.
