School Games

We continue to be at the forefront nationally with our innovations and approaches to physical education, physical activity and sport in schools. This extends from strategy to structures, operations and delivery.

One of the key enablers in achieving our ambitions to become a national exemplar for PE and school sport is to support schools to deliver the absolute best curricular, extra-curricular and community-link offer they can by guiding, advising and challenging schools through bespoke, face-to-face support for senior leadership teams, PE teachers and PE coordinators. We do this via our School Strategic Leads, who have a specific responsibility to work with schools on a one-to-one or cluster level, identifying issues and finding solutions. The Northamptonshire School Games is a big part of our work with schools, and part of a national programme of competitive sport that is open to all young people in every school across Northamptonshire. The Games are a celebration of competitive sport for young people aged 5 - 18 years, of all abilities and backgrounds.
