Have you signed up to the new School Games?

Published on 02-05-2012

If you are yet to do so it is not too late to do so. All schools are encouraged to sign up to be a part of the new School Games.

The School Games – outlined in February by Jeremy Hunt - are a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire millions of young people across the country to take part in more competitive sport.

"Designed across four levels, for both primary and secondary pupils, the School Games offer a fantastic opportunity for all young people to compete in intra-school, inter-school and regional competitions.  Top athletes could go on to compete at a major national multi-sport event, hosted in 2012 at the Olympic Park in London. Supported by the British Paralympic Association, the School Games are fully inclusive, with a focus on encouraging participation in competitive sport across the spectrum of abilities and experience"

New incentives for participation include being eligible to win London Olympics tickets. 

Jeremy Hunt explains "2012 is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us – we hope that these programmes will help you enable all the pupils at your school to feel they were part of it. Through the School Games you can make the inspiration of next year something that lasts for many generations of schoolchildren to come.”
