School Games
The School Games, which is funded by Sport England National Lottery funding and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust, is a government led programme, inspiring young people to be physically active for life through positive experiences of daily activity and competition.
The Active Partnership work alongside a network of 13 School Games Organisers (SGOs) covering Kent and Medway. SGOs are funded by the Department of Health and Social Care and the National Lottery through Sport England to deliver the School Games programme for three days a week. They are predominantly hosted by schools to whom the funding is paid. Outside of this, many SGOs also work as teachers, within School Sport Partnerships or in other roles in sport and schools.
The School Games in Kent is evolving to engage those most affected by inequalities and to support the positioning of physical activity across our network of schools.
