How engaged is your school in the School Games? Want to know how you can improve your positioning of the School Games in your school – then the School Games Mark is for you!!!
The School Games Mark is a clear and simple review tool that aids schools to make some informed decisions and allows School Games Organisers (SGOs) to get a better understanding of their local schools needs.
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.
The outcomes of School Games Mark and the School Games are entwined. Schools will need to demonstrate how they are/have;
Award Levels
Following consultation with the network we are clear that not every school has the desire or time to undertake an extensive application nor are all schools keen to progress through the awards year on year – although we would strongly advocate this.
For those schools that might have limited capacity the bronze award will be considered the entry level and demonstrate that they are providing and engaging their young people in high quality School Games opportunities, this will aid evidencing that they are an ‘actively engaged school’.
School Games Mark Silver and Gold are applicable to those schools that want to challenge themselves and demonstrate their progress over time against a national benchmark.
For those schools that have been engaged over a number of years and or have previously attained School Games Mark Platinum they will be asked to demonstrate in more detail the impact and difference that they are making. Platinum is applicable to those schools that have attained that level of award before or have achieved School Games Mark Gold for 4 consecutive years prior to academic year. If they attain the new gold standard this year then these schools will be eligible to access platinum in this round. The ‘application’ for Platinum schools will ‘open’ once a school has satisfied all the criterion for School Games Mark gold.
The Process
Application window will open 1st May to 26th July 2024.
