Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire School Games:  

School Games reflect the spirit of the Olympics on a county level, offering school children the fantastic opportunity to take part in an inspiring event that brings sport, the arts and culture together in celebration of excellence.  Using the unique power and energy that London 2012 gave us, we can motivate and lead young people into the benefits of competitive sport.

The four levels of the School Games pathway give the chance for young people to reach success at a county and national level.  These are:

Level 1 – Intra-school competition and participation
Level 2 – Inter-school competition
Level 3 - County competition – CSW School Games 
Level 4 – Elite National School Games 

Level 2 competitions are planned and delivered by the 'School Games Organisers' (SGOs) of which there are eight working across Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire.  The SGOs work with their local schools to ensure competitive school sport opportunities are open and inclusive for all.  Within each sport the winning team from each of the eight areas will come together for the level 3 County Festival.  Competitions are organised for pupils from mainstream and special schools.

The Level 3 County events aim to involve as many children and young people from across the partnership area as possible.  For those pupils who are not involved in the sports competitions there is the opportunity to be involved in such activities as: photography, media reporting, volunteering and performing in the opening or closing ceremonies.

Sport Maker volunteers, local clubs and groups also contribute to a successful and exciting event .   

The School Games is driven by a Local Organising Committee (LOC) which is made up of representatives from Schools, Local Authorities, The County Sports Partnership, School Games Organisers, National Governing Bodies of Sport and the local Project Ability School Lead.
