The School Games is the government s new strategy for school sport, using the inspiration of London s Olympics and Paralympics to help transform competitive sport in schools and get more people playing sport. Open to all schools, there are three levels of competition. Level 1 is class versus class, Level 2 is school versus school and Level 3 is county sports festivals. It also offers opportunities for pupils to volunteer, be a reporter or a photographer.
