School Games
School Games
The School Games is a national programme, funded by Sport England. It aims to provide meaningful competition to children and young people, with a clear focus on each young person achieving their personal best. All Herefordshire schools are able to take part in the School Games at intra and inter school levels.
The games are underpinned by six values: respect, team work, determination, self-belief, honesty and passion. These are embedded throughout all of our competitions and supports the development of the whole child.
We host both School Games Organisers for Herefordshire; it is their role to support schools in delivering 60 active minutes, alongside the delivery of intra-school and inter-school competitions. We want to ensure that all children have a positive experience of competition, regardless of their ability.
In addition, we are also commissioned by Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire to deliver the county festivals. We have an exciting programme in store for 2024-25, with a targeted focus on transition, girls, inclusion and engaging inactive young people. Make sure your school is signed up to our School Games mailing list to receive all of the latest information, or to find out how to get involved, please get in touch with Kieram.

School Games Mark
We also support schools with their School Games Mark Accreditation, a government led award scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of physical activity and competition across their school and into the community.
You can find out more about the scheme and the criteria at our dedicated School Games Mark page.
There has been a wide and varied level of activity to choose from as well as offering both competitive and non-competitive elements to take part in. We have found this very beneficial to encourage our less active pupils to take part in sport and for some it has been the very first time.
