Sport England has kicked off a review of the School Games following the publication of the government’s sports strategy, and has pledged funding for School Games Organisers until 2020. The review will consider the future priorities of the School Games in the context of the targets set by Sporting Future, published last December. The review will include a consultation phase and focus group work.
School Games is a four-level competition framework which provides opportunities for youngsters to take part in competitive sport. It is a partnership between Sport England, the Department of Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS) and the Youth Sports Trust.
Sport England has also set aside around £11m (US$15.3m, €13.9m) per year of DCMS and Department of Health (DoH) funding plus £10m (US$13.9m, €12.6m) of National Lottery money for Sports Games Organisers – the bodies that support the delivery of the School Games, with a focus on participation, competition for all and performance.
Each of the 452 SGOs nationwide will receive £23,800 (US$33,190, €30,080) every academic year until the end of the current parliament.
Sport England community sport executive Mike Diaper thanks SGOs for their “ongoing support of School Games”.
“Continued funding is a reflection of the value placed on the work of the SGOs by us all and in particular the DCMS and DoH,” he added.
