School Games Mark

What is the School Games Mark?

The School Games Mark is a Government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Schools in England are able to assess themselves across bronze, silver and gold levels of the Mark.

 

All registered schools are able to apply for the Mark.

Further information is available via the school dashboard, the customized content portal for all schools logged in to the website.

How Can I Apply?

School Games registered schools are eligible to apply once a year during an application window, which traditionally takes place during the summer term, and are graded against set criteria. The School Games Mark is a retrospective award and all answers submitted should consider the current academic year, i.e. the current term and the two previous terms. 

 

Applications are made via a short form available to all registered schools through their online dashboards.

If you're not registered or are unsure of whether your school has been involved previously, please use the school search on the right-hand side to locate your school on our website.
