School Games Mark 2021/22
The School Games has continued to evolve with a review of the School Games Mark to ensure it is still fit for purpose. This Mark will continue to be positioned as a development tool aimed at helping schools effectively reflect on their engagement in the School Games as well as the difference that they are making for those young people who most need to be physically active.
The Mark is intended to be a clear and simple review tool which helps schools to make informed decisions. Based on feedback from both schools and SGOs the Mark has been reinstated and refreshed with award levels of Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum for 2021/22, enabling those schools that wish to stretch themselves to do so, whilst supporting all schools to benchmark their provision against a nationally recognised set of criteria.
| “The purpose of School Games Mark remains constant; To reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active.
We would once again like to thank you all for your ongoing commitment during these difficult times and look forward to continuing to support the network over this period.” National School Games Team |
