School Games Kitemark
The School Games kitemark launches in January 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community via club links. Schools in England will be able to assess themselves across Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of the kitemark from January, with the first schools being awarded their kitemark in July 2012.
To gain any level of the kitemark, all schools are required to meet the following pre-requisites:
- Registered online for School Games
- Registered on Get Set Network
- Registered for Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week
- Have a dedicated notice board promoting School Games activity
- Can evidence adoption of, commitment to and promotion of School Games values
- Have a system in place to capture information on participation in School Games activity
- Can provide clear evidence of offering opportunities for the less active young people to take part in regular sporting activity
- Can provide evidence of all their pupils taking part in at least two hours physical education during curriculum time each week
- Can provide evidence of having run a Level 1 School Games Day (including a strong cultural element) and of being committed to do this every year
- Can provide evidence that meaningful opportunities are provided for disabled students to take part in competitions
At Bronze, Silver and Gold Levels, schools will assess themselves on a number of elements including:
- The provision of approved NGB School Games Level one and Level two competitions for both boys and girls in any one academic year
- Their engagement of students in leading, managing and officiating in the School Games activity
- Their offer of participation and competition opportunities for pupils to take part in extra-curricular sporting activity at least every month.
Schools will be able to complete an on line application form via the new School Games website being launched in January. Registered schools will be sent an email to activate their account before then.
