School Games Impact Report - 2023/24 Academic year

The School Games is a national programme which puts physical activity and school sport at the heart of schools, providing young people with the opportunity to learn through physical activity and competition to achieve their personal best.
The programme aims to provide every child in year 3 to 13 across all education settings with a positive experience where the young person’s motivation, competence and confidence are at the centre of every event or project.
As a national strategy and an important tool for advocating for 60 minutes of daily activity, the School Games supports the personal development of young people and ensures all events and projects have a clear intent, creating positive experiences and meaningful opportunities for the young people who need our support most.
Our ongoing priority is to tackle inequalities and create positive experiences for young people who need it the most. This impact report tells the story of how we’ve strived to achieve that during the 2023/24 academic year, adapting and evolving the way we do things to meet the challenges facing children in South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
