The School Games

The School Games is the Government strategy for PE and School Sport based on encouraging appropriate competitive school sport for all. Working on this strategy are ‘School Games Organisers’ of which we have 2 in Tameside and 450 across the country. Each SGO has a commitment for increasing participation, creating opportunity & inspiring children & young people.

Funded by Sport England

Delivered by the Youth Sport Trust

The School Games, which is funded by Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust, involves funded School Games Organisers (SGOs) aiming to create opportunity and increase participation. The SGO work programme includes developing and promoting Physical Literacy in all pupils, tackling inequalities, supporting youth voice and developing the teacher & coach workforce.

Where we started… The School Games started in 2006 as a single annual multi-sport competition – what is today known as the School Games National Finals. In 2010, the School Games was expanded to include more localised competitions, from major county level events to smaller competitions within the same school. As part of this work, the Youth Sport Trust were funded by Sport England to work alongside the National Governing Bodies of Sport, assisting in the creation of a series of sport formats to help guide the future of school sport competitions. Over the years, the list of NGBs involved with the School Games has grown to over 40, with everything from American Football to Wheelchair Basketball events currently taking place around the country.

Team delivering the School Games

Schools – our schools are integral to the successful delivery of the School Games and we currently have more than 60 School Games registered schools taking part in Intra and Inter-school events alongside Borough finals every year. Are you one of them?
School Games Organisers (SGOs) – there are more than 450 SGOs who work across the country to support schools in their local area- in Tameside there are 2 SGOs covering this work on a part time basis.
